AiOfAi: 3rd Workshop on Adverse Impacts and Collateral Effects of Artificial Intelligence Technologies 

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.

• Generative AI tools:

  • • ChatGPT, AIVA.

    • Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, AutoDraw

Special topics of interest:

1. Crises and AI: Crises like the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have plunged the world into a state of crisis. Although AI technologies can significantly contribute to mitigating the collateral effects of such catastrophic events (e.g., by helping administrate humanitarian aid), they can also act as lethal weapons and facilitate misinformation. Such is the case of autonomous drones capable of recognizing, selecting, and killing human targets; or biased news recommender systems polarizing public opinion. AiOfAi welcomes submissions elaborating on such controversial applications of AI technologies from an interdisciplinary and multistakeholder perspective.

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.
