<span style="font-weight: 300;">The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies raises urgent ethical questions about their development, deployment, and societal impact. While traditional AI ethics often emphasizes fairness, transparency,
and accountability, the </span><span style="font-weight: 700;">Ethics of Care</span><span style="font-weight: 300;"> introduces a relational perspective, focusing on empathy, compassion, and the interdependence of individuals and communities. This workshop
aims to explore how the Ethics of Care can reshape the trajectory of AI development, fostering technologies that prioritize human well-being and relational responsibility.<br>

We invite researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and activists to submit abstracts addressing the intersection of AI and the Ethics of Care. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:</span></div>
