Abstract

Artificial Intelligence systems are increasingly playing an increasingly 
important role in our daily lives. As their importance in our everyday 
lives grows, it is fundamental that the internal mechanisms that guide 
these algorithms are as clear as possible. It is not by chance that the 
recent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) emphasized the users' 
right to explanation when people face artificial intelligence-based 
technologies. Unfortunately, the current research tends to go in the 
opposite direction since most of the approaches try to maximize the 
effectiveness of the models (e.g., recommendation accuracy) at the 
expense of explainability and transparency. The main research questions 
which arise from this scenario is straightforward: how can we deal with 
such a dichotomy between the need for effective adaptive systems and the 
right to transparency and interpretability? Several research lines are 
triggered by this question: building transparent intelligent systems, 
analyzing the impact of opaque algorithms on final users, studying the 
role of explanation strategies, and investigating how to provide users 
with more control over the behavior of intelligent systems. The workshop 
tries to address these research lines and aims to provide a forum for 
the Italian community to discuss problems, challenges, and innovative 
approaches in the various fields of AI.

All submitted papers will be evaluated by at least two members of the 
program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance and 
technical quality. Submissions of full research papers must be in 
English, in PDF format in the CEUR-WS single-column conference format 
available at:

Submissions should be single blinded, i.e. authors names should be 
included in the submissions. Submissions must be made through the 
EasyChair conference system prior the specified deadline. At least one 
of the authors must register and take part at the conference to make the 
presentation.
