<h2 id="about">About</h2>
We are witnessing the emergence of an “AI economy and society”
where AI technologies are increasingly impacting many aspects of
business as well as everyday life. We read with great interest
about recent advances in AI medical diagnostic systems,
self-driving cars, ability of AI technology to automate many
aspects of business decisions like loan approvals, hiring,
policing etc. However, AI systems may produce errors, can exhibit
overt or subtle bias, may be sensitive to noise in the data, and
often lack technical and judicial transparency and explainability.
These shortcomings are raising many ethical and policy concerns
not only in technical and academic communities, but also among
policymakers and general public, and will inevitably impede wider
adoption of AI in society.<br>
<br>
The problems related to Ethical AI are complex and broad and
encompass not only technical issues but also legal, political and
ethical ones. One of the key components of Ethical AI systems is
explainability or transparency, but other issues like detecting
bias, ability to control the outcomes, ability to objectively
audit AI systems for ethics are also critical for successful
applications and adoption of AI in society. Consequently,
explainable and Ethical AI are very current and popular topics in
various communities. Our proposed workshop aims to address
technical aspects of explainable and ethical AI in general, and
include related applications and case studies with the aim to
address this very important problems from a broad technical
perspective. <br>
<h2 id="topics">Topics<br>
</h2>
<p>The topics comprise but are not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Naturally explainable AI methods</li>
<li>Post-Hoc Explanation methods of Deep Neural Networks and
Transformers</li>
<li>Technical issues in AI ethics including automated audits,
detection
of bias, ability to control AI systems to prevent harm and
others</li>
<li>Methods to improve AI explainability in general, including
algorithms and evaluation methods</li>
<li>User interface and visualization for achieving more
explainable and
ethical AI</li>
<li>Real world applications and case studies</li>
</ul>
