AIES 2022 organizers (supported by AAAI and ACM)

AIES 2022 was the Fifth AAAI/ACM Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, and Society, held August 1-3, 2022 at Keble College, University of Oxford. It was a hybrid event, with both in-person attendance and virtual participation available. The conference was co-chaired by Vincent Conitzer of Duke University and John Tasioulas of the University of Oxford. The AIES conference series was launched in 2018 as a joint initiative between the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (ACM SIGAI). It was created to provide a venue for multi-disciplinary investigation into the ethical ramifications of AI systems and their impact on human societies. The conference community spans computer science, philosophy, law, public policy, economics, human-computer interaction, sociology, and other fields. AIES 2022 covered a wide range of research topics including AI governance, regulation and policy frameworks, surveillance and individual privacy, impact on employment and labor markets, AI safety, security and meaningful human control, bias, fairness and vulnerable populations, environmental costs of AI, geopolitical implications, and interpretability and trustworthiness of AI systems. The 2022 edition placed particular emphasis on human-AI interaction, examining questions about AI persuasion, perceptions of AI agency, and cultural differences in AI design and governance. The program co-chairs were Matthias Scheutz (Tufts University), Ryan Calo (University of Washington), Martina Mara (Johannes Kepler University Linz), and Annette Zimmermann (University of York). The student program was chaired by Brent Venable (Tulane University), Emanuelle Burton (University of Illinois Chicago), and Theodore Lechterman. Wenbin Zhang (Carnegie Mellon University) served as virtual experience chair. Invited speakers included Ron Arkin (Georgia Tech), Abeba Birhane (Mozilla Foundation), Karen Levy (Cornell University), Bertram Malle (Brown University), Deborah Raji (University of California, Berkeley), and Shannon Vallor (University of Edinburgh). The conference was supported by platinum sponsors Founders Pledge, DeepMind, Sony AI, and Google; silver sponsors the National Science Foundation and IBM Research; and bronze sponsor Meta. Additionally, the Survival and Flourishing Fund recommended a $38,000 grant from Jaan Tallinn for general support of the AIES 2022 organizers in its 2022 H1 S-Process round. Papers were published in both the AAAI and ACM Digital Library proceedings.
