Dear colleagues,
this is just a friendly reminder (Deadline 29th of August, 2018).
You still have the possibility to submit your extended abstract for the ASIS&T 2018 SIG SI, IEP, SM Workshop:
"The 14th Annual Social Informatics Research Symposium: <g class="gr_ gr_75 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" id="75" data-gr-id="75">Sociotechnical</g> perspective on ethics and governance of emerging information technologies (SIG-SI)"
CFP: https://easychair.org/cfp/sigsiiepsm2018
The emergence and fast-paced development of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, virtual and augmented reality, and embedded and ubiquitous computing present myriad forms of opportunities and challenges. For example, the increasing role of AI in autonomous systems (e.g., self-driving cars or production robots) and the role of social media in disseminating misinformation have created anxieties in our society ranging from discussions about safety, job security, and the future of democracy. Understanding the impacts of emerging technologies requires a multidisciplinary, sociotechnical approach; accordingly, this line of investigation must inevitably engage with major questions regarding sustainability, privacy, human agency, equity, and the ethics and governance of information technologies.
The Social Informatics, Information Ethics and Policy, and Social Media SIGs seek contributors for a full-day pre-conference workshop, the 14th Annual Social Informatics Research Symposium, scheduled for Saturday, 10 <g class="gr_ gr_77 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep" id="77" data-gr-id="77">November,</g> 2018 from 09:00 am - 05:00 pm during the ASIS&T annual meeting.
We seek panel and paper proposals, in the form of extended abstracts, that examine theories or propose practical solutions to problems of ethics and sustainability in our technologically-dependent lives. We are especially interested in proposals that critique technologies in relation to developing countries, or global perspectives on information policy.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting in Vancouver.
Best,
Aylin Ilhan
