CaLCUL 2024 : First call of paper – Ethics and AI
The importance and impact of AI in our society do not need to be proven anymore. Like most revolutions, the initial stage of AI penetration in our daily lives was filled with experimentation and excitement. However, as time passes and more and more people are affected by the new technology, it is critical to take a step back and think about our subject.
What are the overall impacts of our programs and models on society?
Do they affect all social groups equally and fairly? What are the positive and negative impacts and how can we maximize the benefits and minimize any harm that models can do?
The Cognition and Language Conference at the University of Lorraine (CaLCUL) will come back for a second year. The theme for this edition will be “Ethics and AI”. All students in the Cognitive Sciences and NLP Masters can submit a paper with or without an additional poster.
All the willing participants will have the possibility to present the results of their work in front of other students.
