The ACM Multimedia conference, a premier event in the field, is undergoing significant changes to its research themes, reflecting the rapid advancements in AI. For its 2025 and 2026 editions, the conference is introducing new categories such as Embodied and Immersive Multimedia and Multimedia Reasoning, emphasizing the integration of multimodal information for agents interacting with the real world and the ability of AI to perform logical and causal inferences from various data types. Additionally, the conference is broadening the scope of "Vision and Language" to "Multimedia and Language," incorporating audio and sensor data, and merging "Generative Multimedia" with "Foundation Models" to highlight their interconnectedness in model architecture and controllable generation. These adjustments underscore a shift from basic content processing to more complex understanding, reasoning, and interaction capabilities driven by AI. AI
