Call for papers: 2nd Ethics in AI and XR Workshop

As XR content diversifies and makers target everyday applications of these technologies, ethical questions around content creation and its impact on users’ wellbeing become more poignant. Artificial intelligence is an important driver of immersive media, and we need to understand and be able to foresee its role in framing ethical guidelines for content creators, developers, distributors, and users of XR.

In this Ethics in AI and XR (AIXR) Workshop we wish to create a platform for researchers, XR makers and interested parties to share the state of the art, new research and thoughts on the ethical challenges and opportunities raised by the intersection of AI with immersive media systems.

We invite papers that approach AI and XR from the theoretical as well as from the applied research angle and that address, but are not limited to the creation and impact of AI onto the users of immersive systems.
