First Workshop on
Ethical Considerations in Creative applications of Computer Vision
Virtual, June 19 - 2021
Introduction
Creative domains render a big part of modern society, having a strong influence on the economy and cultural life. Thus the impact of dismissing ethical aspects of working in creative computer vision applications and generative arts could amplify harms, such as enabling cultural appropriation, amplifying gender stereotypes in fashion, and limiting fashion to western designs. This workshop aims at creating a platform for interdisciplinary discussion among computer vision researchers, sociotechnical researchers, policy makers, social scientists and artists. In this workshop, we would like to encourage retrospective discussions, position papers on studying social impacts of research in creative applications of computer vision, ethical considerations in this domain including but not limited to artwork attributions, cultural appropriation and policies in creative AI. We also encourage technical contributions in computer vision for fashion, and creative content generation. Finally, we are proudly hosting the Art Gallery session in our workshop.
