The Association for Information Science and Technology Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (ASIS&T SIG-AI) is seeking proposals for the the ASIS&T Annual Meeting pre-conference workshop, "Building AI and Navigating AI Regulatory and Policy Landscapes,” which will be held on November 6, 2026 at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Riverside Hotel Bangkok, Thailand. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and users to examine experiences and perceptions of AI development and governance across diverse settings. It comprises (i) a hands-on training session in which participants will build and evaluate AI tools and agentic systems using both code-based and no-code approaches within the TACTIC framework, and (ii) research presentations accompanied by critical discussion of ongoing challenges and emerging research. The key question guiding this workshop is: What is the scope of AI regulations, including material (what is regulated?), personal (who is regulated?), territorial (Where do they apply?), and temporal (when do they apply?) dimensions? Who Should Submit? We encourage submissions from a wide range of voices, including scholars, practitioners, students, and first-time ASIS&T presenters. What are Proposal Requirements? An 800-word proposal (excluding references) that aligns with or builds upon the workshop's guiding questions should be submitted via the Google Form linked below. Submissions must follow APA formatting style. The deadline for proposal submission is June 29, 2026. What is the Proposal Review Timeline? Proposal Submissions: May 27- June 29, 2026 Review: June 30- July 10, 2026 Notification of Acceptance: July 13, 2026 What is the Registration Fee? All presenters must register to attend the in-person workshop by August 6, 2026 in order to qualify for the early registration rate. Registration information is available in here <https://www.asist.org/am2026/am26-reg-rates-and-policies/>. Will Travel Funds be Provided? SIG-AI will offer a limited number of student registration waivers, travel grants, and best paper awards.
