Track description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly affecting our daily lives and society. It is applied in all kinds of domains, such as healthcare, education, media, creative industry, retail, defence, transportation, law and the financial sector. While AI has great potential to enhance well-being and help solving societal challenges, it also comes with severe risks of negative social and ethical consequences, such as discrimination, reinforcing existing biases, and causing a big carbon footprint. Over the past couple of years, a lot of high-level principles and guidelines for ‘responsible’ or ‘ethical’ AI have been developed, and a lot of theoretical research on responsible AI has been done. However, this work does often not address the challenges that are arise when applying AI in practice.

This track covers the design, development, deployment and use of responsible AI applications in practice. Contributions can address technological aspects of responsible applied AI but may also include social or socio-technical factors, such as the design process (e.g., through co-creation) or the organizational government to ensure responsible application of AI. Research in all kinds of application domains is encouraged.
