Nov 4 deadline for AI, Ethics, & Society conference in NYC, Feb 2020
Dear AoIR-ists, I was put on the organizing committee for AI, Ethics, & Society 3rd annual conference specifically to help draw more AOIR perspectives into the mix of discussions that have been happening in this conference. So you still have a few days to submit a short (6 page) paper! This is a single track conference in NYC, Feb 7-8, 2020, with some groovy side events, including a preconference and reception at NYU, an evening plenary panel of science fiction writers, performances of Broadway caberet focused on AI (what?!) during coffee breaks, and some critical responses to AI through spoken word/music/performances with local artist/activists. I know the deadline is tight, if you’re already submitting to ICA, but who wouldn’t want to attend a single track two day conference that includes these fabulous keynotes? Confirmed Keynote Speakers: Gina Neff, Sociology, Oxford Internet Institute, UK Anita Gurumurthy, Executive Director IT for Change, Bengaluru, India Frank Pasquale, Law, University of Maryland, USA Peter Dabrock, Theology, Friedrich-Alexander University, Germany (one more planned) November 4 deadline! CFP here in brief (full CFP here: https://www.aies-conference.com/2020/call-for-papers/ As AI (and associated AI-hype) grows more pervasive in our lives, its impact on society is ever more significant, raising ethical concerns and challenges regarding issues such as privacy, safety and security, surveillance, inequality, data handling and bias, personal agency, power relations, effective modes of regulation, accountability, sanctions, and workforce displacement. Only a multi-disciplinary effort can find the best ways to address these concerns, including experts from various disciplines, such as ethics, philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, law, history, politics, interaction design, informatics, social studies of science and technology, communication and media studies, and political science, as well as those with lived experience in relation to the impacts of AI systems. In order to address these issues in a scientific context, AAAI and ACM joined forces in 2018 to start the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society. The third edition of this conference will be co-located with AAAI-20 on February 7-8, 2020 at the Hilton New York Midtown, New York, USA. The program of the conference will include peer-reviewed paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and working sessions. We expect papers will be submitted by researchers using different approaches (e.g., critical, empirical, philosophical, aesthetic, case study, ethnographic, discourse or text analysis). The conference welcomes contributions on a broad set of topics, to encourage the possibilities for transdisciplinary connections and challenges. This includes but is not limited to the following: Cultural, political, and other societal impacts of AI AI and surveillance/manipulation of people Impact of AI on jobs and work Meaningful control, safety, and security of AI AI and geopolitics AI and vulnerable groups When, why and how to ban, restrict, cost and tax AI Ethical models/frameworks around AI and data AI and environmental costs and impacts AI and labor, AI and markets Value alignment and moral decision making Trustworthy AI systems Black box systems and modes of investigation and explanation Ethically-aligned design Challenges and contradictions in AI-related design, development and ethics AI and the public interest Infrastructures of AI AI and law, regulation and governance AI and literature, performance, counter-culture, resistance New/novel AI-related concepts Speculative future AI design and implications Innovative methodologies for studying/analyzing AI Developments in AI concepts, definitions, schools of thought We solicit papers (PDF file) of up to 6 pages + 1 page for references, submitted through the EasyChair system. All submissions must be within the specified length limit and in the appropriate AAAI two column format.
