EGAI workshop

About

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is an enabler in games at every level, from game development to player experience to building and maintaining gamer communities. Using AI-powered procedural generation of content, recommender systems, or community moderation is very attractive, but calls for consideration of Responsible AI (RAI) principles to address possible risks of e.g., echo-chambers and lack of inclusivity.

The purpose of the Ethics of Game AI workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry who are interested in developing, applying and critiquing the ways in which principles of RAI have (or have not) been applied to AI in games. Our goal is to provide a forum where we can share, discuss, and propose ideas and solutions regarding the role of AI in all stages of game development, and the ethical implications that follow from it.

Call for papers

We invite you to submit your contributions in one of these 2 formats:

Long papers: 7-9 pages, excluding references.

Short papers: 3-5 pages, excluding references. These papers will be presented as posters during the poster session

We are interested in contributions that focus on any aspect of responsible AI for games including, but not limited to:

Transparency of in-game AI decision making

Explainability in games AI

Social, ethical, legal issues in AI generated game content

Fairness and inclusion in games AI

Robustness of games AI models

Transparency of in-game AI decision making

Submission details

Please submit through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=egai2023

Each submitted paper will be reviewed by a minimum of two members of the program committee using a single-blind peer review process; reviewer identity is not known to the author, but the reviewer knows the author’s identity. Papers will be evaluated based on originality, significance, and quality. All submissions must be in English and PDF format.

At least one author is expected to register and participate in the workshop. This will be an in-person event, co-located with ECAI 2023 in Kraków, Poland.
