4th European Conference on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (ECIAIR 2022)
Virtual via Zoom
December 1-2, 2022
https://www.academic-conferences.org/conferences/eciair

Late submissions being accepted [as of September 21, 2022]

The virtual 4th European Conference on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (ECIAIR 2022) is accepting late submissions of papers, presentations and virtual posters. The conference which is hosted by ACI and supported by EM Normandie Business School, Oxford Campus, UK will run fully virtually on 1 – 2 December 2022.

The motivation to launch the European Conference on the Impact of AI and Robotics (ECIAIR 2022) came about as a result of the maturing of artificial intelligence and robotics, particularly of the cognitive computing kind, which is producing an unprecedented revolution in the role of work and professionals in society. So this Conference aims to focus not so much on the technology itself, but rather its consequence on knowledge work and society.… read more. “Call: 4th European Conference on the Impact of AI and Robotics (ECIAIR)”

HCAI@NeurIPS2022
Human Centered AI workshop at NeurIPS 2022, the 36th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems
A VIRTUAL workshop
December 9, 2022
Workshop: https://hcai-at-neurips.github.io/site/
NeurIPS 2022: https://hcai-at-neurips.github.io/site/

Submission deadline: September 22, 2022

Many institutions, researchers, and thought leaders have recently promoted the notion that AI systems should be human-centered. Although there is no consensus definition for what human-centered AI means, it commonly refers to a set of principles that AI systems ought to be

(a) reliable, safe, and trustworthy;
(b) relatively free from bias and not promote or reinforce existing structural inequalities;
(c) empowering people by supporting their creativity and (d) fit-for-purpose for use by specific humans, or groups of humans, to meet human needs and self-efficacy.

Following a successful workshop in 2021, our 2022 virtual workshop aims to bring people together across different communities that have a stake in HCAI.… read more. “Call: Human Centered AI (HCAI) workshop at NeurIPS 2022”

Persuasive 2023: The 18th International Conference on Persuasive Technology
Eindhoven University of Technology
Eindhoven, The Netherlands
April 19-21, 2023
https://persuasivetech.org/

Paper Submission deadline: December 9, 2022

In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems, studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and information processing), is paramount.

Persuasive technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design, development and evaluation of technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes and/or behaviors through informed persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health, sustainability, education and well-being, by supporting the setting and achieving of goals they set for themselves, and thus change their behaviors.… read more. “Call: Persuasive 2023: The 18th International Conference on Persuasive Technology”

Developing and Communicating Identity via Technology
Special Issue of Human Communication & Technology

Submissions deadline: December 9, 2022

Identity plays a fundamental role in social and personal communication, and technologies serve as important venues for identity development, refinement, and display. Dr. Erin Sumner (Trinity University) and Dr. Andrew High (Penn State University) are editing a special issue of Human Communication & Technology entitled “Developing and Communicating Identity via Technology.”

We are accepting submissions that examine the role of technologies and/or communication modalities with regard to the development of identity (e.g., development of sense of self, and/or identity experimentation) and/or the communication or perception of identity (e.g., self-presentation and self-disclosure). We welcome empirical submissions that explore our broad topic using quantitative, interpretive, or critical analysis of observations/data. We also welcome theoretical pieces related to identity firmly grounded in mediated spaces and modalities.… read more. “Call: Developing and Communicating Identity via Technology – Special issue of Human Communication and Technology”

Automation permeates our everyday lives.

Given both the ubiquity and, in many cases, the indispensability of ubiquitous automated systems, creating engaging experiences with them is increasingly relevant.

The objective of this theme issue is to explore the interplay of engagement and automation from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

We are interested in contributions to advance understanding of three levels of engagement with automation:

1. ENGAGEMENT FOR OPERATION: how can users be enticed to consume, monitor and operate an automated system in a contextually suitable way?
