1st Workshop on Responsible Artificial Intelligence (ReAI)
Dates
2024-09-11 03:00 - 2024-09-14 03:00
ARCHIMEDES proudly supports SETN 2024, the 13th Conference on Artificial Intelligence, organized by the Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Society (EETN) on September 11-13, University of Piraeus, Athens, Greece.
Research in AI promises to bring huge advances in all aspects of human life, from groundbreaking discoveries in medicine and self-driving cars to the arts. However, it also raises serious ethical concerns.
The goal of the ReAI workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the broad area of responsible AI to discuss recent advancements and future perspectives of this rapidly changing field. Special emphasis will be placed on how Greece is tackling these challenges aiming at fostering a community on the topic of responsible AI.
The workshop will focus on the foundations, principles, and practices of responsibly developing and deploying AI systems, addressing issues of fair and unbiased use, transparency, explainability, respect for human autonomy, privacy, accountability, safety and trustworthiness.
Besides covering technical aspects, the workshop will also provide a broader interdisciplinary perspective by including legal, social, and ethical perspectives, aiming to provide participants with a well-rounded understanding of the implications and considerations surrounding AI beyond just its technical implementation.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Bias and fairness in AI systems
- Transparency, interpretability and explainability (XAI)
- AI regulations
- Privacy and accountability
- Use cases
