AIofAI ‘22: 2nd Workshop on Adverse Impacts and Collateral Effects of
Artificial Intelligence Technologies
In conjunction with the 31st International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (IJCAI-2022) https://ijcai-22.org <https://ijcai-22.org/>

=============================
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in people’s everyday life has grown
exponentially over the last decade. Currently, individuals rely heavily on
intelligent software applications across different domains including
healthcare, logistics, defence, and governance. Particularly, AI systems
facilitate decision-making processes across these domains through the automatic
analysis and classification of large data sets and the subsequent
identification of relevant patterns. To a large extent, such an approach has
contributed to the sustainable development of modern societies and remains a
powerful instrument for social and economic growth. However, recent events
related to the massive spread of misinformation and deepfakes, along with large
privacy and security breaches, have raised concerns among AI practitioners and
researchers about the negative and detrimental impacts of these technologies.
Hence, there is an urgent call for guidelines, methods, and techniques to
assess and mitigate the potentially adverse impacts and side effects of AI
applications.
This workshop explores how and up to which extent AI technologies can serve
deceptive and malicious purposes either intentionally or not. Furthermore, it
seeks to elaborate on countermeasures and mitigation actions to prevent
potential negative effects and collateral damages of AI systems. For this, 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.
**SPECIAL TOPICS OF INTEREST**
- AI in the COVID-19 era: Since its outbreak in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has
plunged the world into a state of crisis. Far from over, the last two years
have been characterized by a tsunami of misinformation, as well as the hasty
deployment of inexact and biased AI models to detect COVID-19 and manage the
pandemic, fostering mistrust in research and scientific evidence. AIofAI
welcomes submissions elaborating on the detrimental impact of AI applications
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- 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.
=============================
SUBMISSION DETAILS
We welcome submissions spanning the full range of theoretical and applied work
including user research, methods, datasets, tools, simulations, demos, and
practical evaluations. Submissions should be 10-15 pages for full technical
papers and 5-9 pages for position papers or demos including references. Papers
should be formatted according to the CEUR-WS instructions. Templates (Word and
Latex) and can be found here http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip
<http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip>
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by 3-4 members of the program committee in a
single-blind process. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org
<http://ceur-ws.org/> for online publication (tentative).
