5th International Workshop on Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML 2022): Towards Trustworthy AI
Goals of the Workshop
The goal of the workshop, fifth in the series at COMPSAC, is to foster interaction and information exchange among AI researchers and practitioners, both from academia and industry, on the safe, reliable and trustworthy application of Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) in real-world applications. The workshop aims at: presenting a variety of novel AI applications, case studies and large-scale validation of AI technologies; examining risks and concerns of AI and ML; outlining practical challenges in formulating an AI strategy; discussing AI for Good initiatives; addressing topics such as eXplainable AI, algorithmic fairness, trust and reliability; and discussing challenges related to AI safe and robust deployment, testing/validation and certification.
Workshop Theme
After decades of generous promises and frustrating disappointments, artificial intelligence (AI) is now delivering real-world benefits, and adopters in businesses and industry in different sectors are embracing the promise of AI reaping significant benefits. At the same time, AI is raising many concerns such as trust, algorithmic bias, potential misuse, unprecedented over surveillance, and data privacy and sovereignty, and intrinsic difficulties in relying on data-driven predictions in an uncertain and ever-shifting world. AI and ML technologies face significant challenges in moving from research labs to production environment, and in exhibiting robustness, transparency and safety throughout the entire development lifecycle. To embrace AI for good for the benefit of the society, information on recent and ongoing scientific and technological progress, as well as challenges and lessons learned need to be shared and discussed. This workshop is aligned with this year’s conference theme, “Computers, software & applications in an uncertain world.” The Workshop will cover several elements of AI research and practice and socio-technical challenges facing adoption of AI in new innovative applications, outline status of AI in practice, and examine AI’s yet to be realised potential.
Scope of the Workshop
This workshop will facilitate much needed interaction and information exchange among AI researchers, practitioners and business executives. It will provide an interactive forum for discussion on recent and ongoing developments, key issues and challenges, and practices related to AI applications. It will also serve as a platform to present case studies and discuss application 2
experience as well as to demonstrate applications and software tools. Researchers and practitioners from all over the world, from academia, industry, and government will be invited to present their work and perspectives and participate in the workshop.
