[Apologies for potential crossposting]

Only two weeks to the final deadline to WISDOMS 2024! The workshop focusing on the integration of data semantics, ontologies, moral values, and their societal impact

About the Workshop:
The growing influence of AI in our daily lives has transformed both the digital landscape and the way we generate, extract and represent information. The surge in using Large Language Models (LLMs) not only in academia and industry but among the public, has made it increasingly important to address the alignment of AI tools to moral and cultural human values. Despite ongoing governmental work on developing ethical guidelines and practical requirements for AI, for academic and industrial applications there is a particular importance to ensure that the research respective practical methods follow ethical practices and that the outcomes do not conflict with moral values. As hybridizing knowledge structures and semantic data with generative AI has a high impact potential for the development of increasingly more complex and intelligent systems, it becomes of the utmost important that such innovation adheres to the EU’s objective of realizing AI applications that are dependable, robust, explicable, ethically guided, and therefore trustworthy.
The first edition of WISDOMS, the Workshop on Integrating the Semantics of Data, Ontologies, Moral and cultural values and their Societal impact, aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and those curious enough to explore the convergence of ethics, socio-behavioral norms, moral and cultural values, with hybrid neuro-symbolic knowledge structures and generative AI.
Join us in discussing the socio-ethical boundaries of AI innovation!

Important Dates:

• Submission Deadline: March 7, 2024
• Author Notification: April 4, 2024
• Final Version Due: April 18, 2024
• Workshop Dates: May 26/27, 2024


List of Topics:
WISDOMS invite paper contributions related (but not restricted to) the following areas:

• Ethical dilemmas in value knowledge representation
• Development of value-centric vocabularies and ontologies
• Moral reasoning in AI
• Societal impact of (non-)ethical AI
• Value-driven system design and explainability
• Value-sensitive autonomous agents
• Neuro-symbolic and hybrid semantic web tools for moral reasoning


Type of Contributions:
We welcome diverse contributions including research papers, case studies, and theoretical explorations that align with the workshop's themes. We accept four types of contributes:

• Full Papers (10-12 pages excluding references)
• Short Papers (5-8 pages excluding references)
• Position Papers (1-4 pages excluding references, not included in the proceedings)
• Extended Abstract of recently published papers (1-4 pages excluding references, not included in the proceedings)


Submissions must be sent via Easychair and should be formatted in CEUR 1-column format (template available on workshop website).

For inclusion in the workshop, at least one of the authors of accepted papers needs to register at ESWC 2024 and participate on-site at WISDOMS.

Location:
WISDOMS is co-located with ESWC 2024 held on the beautiful island city Hersonissos, Crete, Greece. This year, ESWC has the timely theme on Fabrics of Knowledge: Knowledge Graphs and Generative AI.
Join us at WISDOMS to add a flair of ethics to the main conference!
We look forward to your valuable contributions to a fruitful and thought-provoking discussion on these critical issues.
Best regards,
