About
About
Recent years have seen unprecedented advancements in AI methodologies, which have increasingly made their foray into business and societal domains. On the one hand, this has led to significant opportunities for using these tools to address hard societal and business challenges. Examples include advancements in medical diagnostics and personalized healthcare, efficiently learning diverse consumer preferences, building more resilient supply chains, building environmentally sustainable business operations, and improving the allocation of societal resources to address problems such as crime and poverty.
On the other hand, the use of AI methodologies in such societal domains has raised several concerns and challenges. For example, AI may exacerbate existing societal inequities by introducing large disparities in the allocation of the costs and benefits of AI deployments across population groups, with outcomes favoring one group over another. The black-box nature of AI methodologies may lead to unintended and harmful consequences and make them susceptible to malicious manipulation of their outcomes by strategic stakeholders. Furthermore, the concentration of data and AI prowesses in the industry raises concerns of misalignment between the firms' objectives for AI deployments and societal welfare.
This workshop aims to bring together experts and practitioners from various relevant disciplines to carve an interdisciplinary research agenda for (a) developing impactful yet responsible AI solutions in societal and business domains and (b) designing policy frameworks for addressing concerns arising from the use of AI in such domains.
