Only a multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder effort can find the best ways to address these concerns, including experts from various disciplines, such as ethics, philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, law, history, and politics. In order to address these issues in a scientific context, AAAI and ACM have joined forces to start a new conference, the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The second edition of this conference will be co-located with AAAI-19 on January 27-28, 2019 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. The program of the conference will include peer-reviewed paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and working sessions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The conference welcomes contributions on a broad set of topics, including but not limited to the following:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Building ethically reliable AI systems</div><div class="">* Value alignment and AI safety</div><div class="">* Moral machine decision making</div><div class="">* Trust and explanations in AI systems</div><div class="">* Fairness and transparency in AI systems</div><div class="">* Ethical design and development of AI systems</div><div class="">* AI for social good</div><div class="">* Human-level AI</div><div class="">* Meaningful human control of AI</div><div class="">* Impact of AI on workforce</div><div class="">* AI and law</div><div class="">* AI and surveillance/manipulation of people</div><div class="">* Cultural, political, and other societal impacts of AI</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Submitted papers should adopt a rigorous approach to address any questions related to the above topics. Moreover, they should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance, and its relation to prior research.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We solicit papers (PDF file) of up to 6 pages + 1 page for references, submitted through the EasyChair system. All submissions must be made in the appropriate format (see the provided templates here), and within the specified length limit; formatting templates can be found on the conference website. Review will be double-blind, so authors should remove identifying information from their papers. However, authors should report their primary discipline(s) on the first page.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The AAAI formatting templates are intended for final camera-ready copy of accepted papers. At the initial submission for review stage, it is not necessary to include the copyright slug, nor is it necessary to submit source files as supplementary material. Only the PDF of your formatted paper is required via the EasyChair link provided above.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We expect papers submitted by researchers of several disciplines (AI, computer science, philosophy, economics, law, policy, and others). The program committee includes members that are experts in all the relevant areas, to ensure appropriate review of papers.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors of accepted papers can ask that only a one-page abstract of the paper appear in the proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper. Authors should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. This option is available to accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would not consider results that have been published in preliminary form in a conference proceedings. Such papers must be submitted electronically and formatted just like papers submitted for full-text publication.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Results previously published or presented at another archival conference prior to this one, or published (or accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline, can be submitted only if the author intends to publish the paper as a one-page abstract. All other things being equal, we prefer work that is more novel.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The proceedings of the conference will be published in the AAAI and ACM Digital Libraries.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Among all papers, a best paper will be selected by the program committee, sponsored by the Partnership on AI. There may additionally be a prize awarded via a global competition among several conferences, in which the best paper would be able to participate.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A selected subset of the accepted papers will have the opportunity to be considered for journal publication in the JAIR special track on AI and Society (<a href="https://jair.org/index.php/jair/navigationMenu/view/SpecialTrack-AIandSociety" class="">https://jair.org/index.php/jair/navigationMenu/view/SpecialTrack-AIandSociety</a>).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
