CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS (DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 15 JULY 2024)
SOCIOTECHNICAL CONSEQUENCES OF AI: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPLORATION OF
ETHICAL, ORGANIZATIONAL, SOCIAL, AND COMPUTATIONAL DIMENSIONS
International Workshop at the University of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill, USA (in person)
/13 September 2024, 9 am to 4:30 pm/
AI is increasingly permeating different areas of society and being
integrated into daily work and leisure practices, organizational
structures, and ways of thinking about the world. Some of the areas
impacted by AI and relevant to contemporary discourses are information
retrieval and knowledge production (business, science, journalism,
librarianship and education), predictive and evaluative work
(policing, climate science, health and prevention of disease, finance,
insurance), as well as communication tasks (customer service, human
resources/recruiting). Some of the pertinent topics related to AI
include access and accessibility, social justice, interpersonal
relationships, skills and competences, cognitive and behavioral
changes, human-computer interaction and the division of labor between
humans and machines. Discourse within these fields takes place along
ethical, organizational, social and computational dimensions. These
dimensions are deeply interrelated. Addressing these connections and
intersections is essential for a comprehensive understanding of AI
systems.
For this workshop, we invite contributions that focus not merely on
one of the four dimensions but address at least two dimensions
together in an interdisciplinary way. The workshop aims to not only
discuss how tools, processes, and relations of AI operate, but for
whom and why they (do not) work. Additionally, we want to render
visible the people, resources, processes, materials and politics that
are often a hidden part of the current AI discourse. We primarily
welcome paper presentations but are also open to other suggestions for
presentation formats.
The following list depicts some of the fields and aspects which are of
interest for the workshop and can serve as starting points for
discussions, but can be complemented by further aspects.
ETHICAL
● Diversity and inclusion (queer LGBT, minority, indigenous, disability)
● Social justice
● Environmental justice
● Access and use of copyrighted material
● Labor exploitation
SOCIAL
● Care work
● Relationships (human, socio-technical)
● Assistive technologies and impact
ORGANIZATIONAL
● Employment
● Job (In)security
● Future of work // New work
● AI recruitment tools
● Human-AI collaboration
COMPUTATIONAL
● Mechanics
● Practices of training computational models
● Data quality
● Bias
● Cybersecurity
