AIofAI: 2nd Workshop on Adverse Impacts and Collateral Effects of Artificial Intelligence Technologies

Submission Details

We invite AI researchers and practitioners across different disciplines and knowledge backgrounds to submit contributions dealing with the following (or related) topics:

• Hazardous AI applications:

  • • Deepfakes.

    • Fake news and misinformation.

    • Online deception.

    • Malicious personalization.

    • Social engineering.

• Adverse impacts of AI:

  • • Privacy and security breaches.

    • Backfire effects.

    • Guidelines and mitigation actions.

    • Ethical conflicts and challenges.

    • Risk assessment methods.

• Responsible AI:

  • • Case studies.

    • Best practices for trustworthy AI.

Special topics of interest:

1. AI in the COVID-19 era: Since its outbreak in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has plunged the world into a state of crisis. Far from over, the last two years have been characterized by a tsunami of misinformation, as well as the hasty deployment of inexact and biased AI models to detect COVID-19 and manage the pandemic, fostering mistrust in research and scientific evidence. AIofAI welcomes submissions elaborating on the detrimental impact of AI applications during the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. AI Regulations: The new regulatory framework for AI systems drafted by the European Commission seeks for instance to promote profound changes in the way such systems are developed and deployed. Still, many challenges are upfront particularly when it comes to the identification and assessment of risks potentially linked to AI solutions. We encourage the submission of papers elaborating on regulations, guidelines, methods and tools for assessing the risks of AI systems and their possible adverse impact on both individuals and societies at large.

We welcome submissions spanning the full range of theoretical and applied work including user research, methods, datasets, tools, simulations, demos, and practical evaluations. Submissions should be 10-15 pages for full technical papers and 5-9 pages for position papers or demos including references. Papers should be formatted according to the CEUR-WS instructions. Templates (Word and Latex) and can be found here http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip

Submissions will be peer-reviewed by 3-4 members of the program committee in a single-blind process. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication (tentative).

IMPORTANT! - Authors from accepted submissions are strongly encouraged to present their work at the conference and only in exceptional cases via Zoom (e.g., due to COVID-19 travel restrictions).

Submission Deadline: May 13 May 20, 2022 (extended!) - Time: AOE

Notification: June 3, 2022 June 13, 2022
