https://lab42.global/essay-virtualworlds/

Submission deadline: March 31, 2023

Dear all,

From the early days of computing, scientists and dreamers alike were captivated by the idea of creating machines that could think and reason like humans. As the decades passed, a sense of tension grew as pioneers in the field made strides in developing increasingly sophisticated AI systems, while skeptics warned of the dangers of creating machines that might outstrip human intelligence. The tension reached a fever pitch in the 1990s, with the rise of expert systems and neural networks, and then exploded onto the world stage with the arrival of deep learning and other breakthroughs in the 21^st century. Today, the history of AI is an epic tale of innovation and ambition, filled with moments of triumph and moments of reckoning, as we seek to create intelligent machines that will shape the course of human history.… read more. “Call: Lab42 Essay Challenge: On creating AI in Virtual Worlds”

Technology, Art and the Posthuman: The End or a New Beginning for Humanism
A (free) transdisciplinary conference
May 13, 2023 & May 14, 2023
John Cabot University, Guarini Campus, Rome, Italy
https://calendar.johncabot.edu/event/technology-art-and-the-posthuman-the-end-or-a-new-beginning-for-humanism-1/

Submission deadline: March 6, 2023

A transdisciplinary conference seeks to foster transdisciplinary and intercultural conversations among artists, technologists, humanists, and natural scientists presenting their work in areas such as literature, philosophy, ethics, psychology, music, fine arts, bodywork, and intercultural knowledge. The conference accepts papers and art works that encourage scholars, artists, intellectuals, scientists, and technologists to reflect on the emerging cultural and humanist paradigm that views the “human” (in its various forms) as a part of a larger interconnected system and an emerging posthuman era. Is life evolving beyond humanism? To a non-dualist view of humans as part of a systemic view of nature, life, technology, science, and humanity.… read more. “Call: “Technology, Art and the Posthuman: The End or a New Beginning for Humanism” conference”

Special Track: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on XAI
xAI 2023: First World Conference on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence
July 26-28, 2023
Lisbon, Portugal
https://xaiworldconference.com/special-track-interdisciplinary-perspectives-on-xai/

Submission deadline: April 20, 2023

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more prevalent, concerns about biased decision-making, mistrust, safety, and gaps in responsibility as well as accountability become increasingly pressing. While eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is seen as a crucial and central means of mitigating these risks, a more comprehensive understanding of XAI is still required that considers not only technical aspects but also societal, psychological, legal, and ethical requirements of AI explanations.

The special track Interdisciplinary Perspectives on XAI at the First World Conference on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI 2023) aims to provide a forum for discussing and exploring these issues, bringing together experts from various disciplines to advance the field of XAI. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Psychological notions and concepts for XAI
• Philosophical consideration of synthetic explanations
• XAI as prerequisite for responsible, AI-supported decision-making
• XAI, humans-in-the-loop, and effective human oversight
• The impact of XAI on trust(worthiness) and acceptance
• Explainability & responsibility in policy guidelines
• The epistemic & moral goods expected from explaining AI
• Moral principles & dilemma for XAI-based systems
• Legal considerations for explainable AI
• Explainable AI for decision support in critical systems
• The societal implications of XAI

The conference committee welcomes three different types of article submissions: full articles (12 to 24 pages, including references), short articles (6 to 12 pages, including references), and extended abstracts (3 to 6 pages, including references).… read more. “Call: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Explainable AI – Special Track at xAI 2023”
