<p style="margin:0px 0px 12px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-kerning:none">The Fourth International Workshop on Logics for New-Generation Artificial Intelligence (LNGAI 2024) will be held at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, 15th - 16th June 2024. The workshop is associated with a national key project called “Research on Logics for New Generation Artificial Intelligence” (2021-2025), supported by the National Social Science Foundation of China. The main objectives of this project are to develop theories and techniques of non-monotonic logics and formal argumentation and apply them to causal reasoning, knowledge graph reasoning, and reasoning about norms and values, in an open, dynamic and real environment. Along with the project, we organize annual international workshops that aim at enabling efficient communication and collaboration between members of the project as well as other researchers who are interested in the topics of this project.</span></p>
