SCOPE AND TOPICS:

The topic of “AI for Social Good” is fast emerging as a new field of scientific and technological endeavor aiming to apply AI and related technologies to solve complex social problems in healthcare, sustainability, education, climate change, disaster response, community safety, public welfare, and in assisting low resource communities. Such extensive use of AI in social domains comes with a range of opportunities but also presents some challenges and risks. Indeed, issues related to the absence of regulation, discriminatory biases, ethics, trust, privacy, safety, security, human workforce loss, and other negative outcomes need to be thoroughly discussed and addressed in order to scale the use of AI and achieve positive social impact. DSAI4SG aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in different facets of these problems, from diverse backgrounds to share challenges, new directions and recent research in the field.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• AI for environment and sustainability
• AI for healthcare
• AI for education
• AI for agriculture and biodiversity
• AI for e-government
• AI for transportation
• Assistive Technology for Well-Being
• AI for empowering African communities
• AI for Social Welfare, Justice, Fairness and Equality
• NLP and computer vision for social good
• Robots, digital twin, metaverse, hyper automation for social good
• Generative AI for social good
• Big data, blockchain, IoT for intelligent applications
• Socially Responsible AI: Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency
