Aims and Scope

With the development and spread of AI techniques, ensuring the adherence of
AI's behavior to legal and ethical principles has become a major subject.
General fear of the unintended effects of AI systems, by its actions and its
use of personal data, has led to a strong demand for trustworthy AI. This is
a central concern that has become prominent both in public opinion and
policy maker's agenda. The EU High-Level Expert Group on AI, convened by the
European Commission in 2018, published a report on “Ethics Guidelines for
Trustworthy AI” says that AI systems should be:

 

* lawful, complying with all applicable laws and regulations

* ethical, ensuring adherence to ethical principles and values

 

The purpose of this workshop is to bring researchers together to present
approaches to tackling legal/ethical AI compliance problems including the
relationship between compliance and standards, legislation and regulation
and to discuss selected challenges arising from AI compliance. We also
solicit use cases related with AI compliance problems to create a basis to
investigate common problems for future collaboration.
