MIWAI 2021 : The 14th Multi-Disciplinary International Conference on Artificial Intelligence 2021

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Prof. Joanna Bryson
Professor of Ethics and Technology at the Hertie School.
Her research focuses on the impact of technology on human cooperation, and AI/ICT governance. From 2002-19 she was on the Computer Science faculty at the University of Bath. She has also been affiliated with the Department of Psychology at Harvard University, the Department of Anthropology at the University of Oxford, the School of Social Sciences at the University of Mannheim, and the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy. During her PhD she observed the confusion generated by anthropomorphised AI, leading to her first AI ethics publication “Just Another Artifact” in 1998. In 2010, she co-authored the first national-level AI ethics policy, the UK's Principles of Robotics.

Bias, trust, and doing good: The impacts of digital technology on human ethics, and vice versa

Abstract: Is artificial intelligence compromising or complementing human ethics? In this talk I focus on a third option: that as we introduce digital technologies into our lives, we are changing our society in ways that exposes the nature and origins of our own social behaviour. This gives us an opportunity to know our selves better, and to behave well if we choose. I begin the talk by introducing the concept of public goods, then show how these relate to sustainability, trust, bias, and political polarisation. I conclude speaking about remedies including how we as individual nations and collections of nations might regulate these technologies to improve our future lives.

ABOUT MIWAI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) research has broad applications in real world problems. Examples include control, planning and scheduling, pattern recognition, knowledge mining, software applications, strategy games and others. The ever-evolving needs in society and business both on a local and on a global scale demanding better technologies for solving more and more complex problems. Such needs can be found in all industrial sectors and in any part of the world.

This conference aims to be a meeting place where excellence in AI research meets the needs for solving dynamic and complex problems in the real world. The academic researchers, developers, and industrial practitioners will have extensive opportunities to present their original work, technological advances and practical problems. Participants can learn from each other and exchange their experiences in order to fine tune their activities in order to help each other better. The main purposes of the MIWAI series of conference are:

To provide a meeting place for AI researchers and practitioners.

To inform research students about cutting-edge AI research via the presence of outstanding international invited speakers.

To raise the standards of practice of AI research by providing researchers and students with feedback from an internationally-renowned program committee.

We encourage contributions presenting thought-provoking ideas and promising (preliminary) results in realizing them. We also encourage researchers and practitioners to submit reports on work in progress to discuss ongoing research, practical experience, challenges or issues related to artificial intelligence. Short papers should not exceed 8 pages in length and should not have been submitted for review or published elsewhere. The submission of SHORT papers must be made through the Easychair submission system until March 19, 2021.

SUBMISSION:

To submit a paper please go to easychair

NO-SHOW POLICY

MIWAI strongly expects its submitting authors to adhere to the academic code of honor. In particular, this means that any paper that is eventually accepted to the technical program will be on the understanding that at least one co-author of the paper both registers *and attends* the conference to present the paper.

At least one co-author for each accepted paper must *register* before the author registration deadline (April 9th, 2021) has passed. Failure to do so will result in removal of the paper from the printed and online proceedings.
Authors who are registered but then find that they cannot attend due to exceptional circumstances beyond their control should:

Notify the program chairs by email as soon as possible with a satisfactory explanation of these circumstances.
Make every possible arrangement for another co-author to present the paper in their place. (In exceptional circumstances we may allow a presentation by video.)

If a registered author fails to show at the conference without doing either of (a), (b) above then:

The paper will be removed from the online proceedings.
The registered author will be banned from having papers accepted to MIWAI for a period of 3 years.
A formal letter of complaint will be written to the author's head of faculty.
