The Conference Chairs are delighted to invite submissions in the form of abstracts, full papers and panel proposals for Data for Policy 2024.
The eighth edition of the conference will focus on the future of governance and decision making with AI. We have posed the overarching theme, “Trustworthy Governance with AI?”, as a question to provide room for two types of conversations. Firstly, what are the emerging capabilities, use cases, and best practices enabling innovation that could contribute to improved governance with AI? Secondly, what concerns are being raised regarding these advancements in areas such as data, algorithms, privacy, security, fairness, and potential risks? For both discussions, we invite proposals that delve into the role and capacity of governance in preventing AI-related harms and explore the potential for governance to generate added value through responsible AI deployment.
There are six broad, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral areas of interest, which form the standard tracks of the conference. These are complemented by ten special tracks. See the conference tracks page for full details. We welcome submissions covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- AI applications for policy formulation and implementation;
- Impact of Generative AI on public service delivery and citizen engagement;
- Machine agency in governance and decision-making;
- Human-AI collaboration and decision-making in governance;
- AI-driven decision support systems for public administration;
- Legal and regulatory frameworks for AI in governance;
- Safety, transparency, fairness, accountability, and trust in AI-driven decision-making;
- Data and infrastructure technologies working in tandem with AI to transform decision-making in governance (chatbots, platforms, distributed ledger systems, digital twins, augmented reality, etc.);
- Governance models and frameworks for effective utilisation of AI options in decision-making processes to enhance good governance practices.
For full information on the submission types and process, please see the information for authors. We are pleased to announce that full papers submitted to the conference will benefit from our new conference-journal integrated review process. Full papers will be submitted directly to Data & Policy and reviewed for both venues, with the aim of being publication-ready. All the details you will need are on our conference webpages.
For the opportunity to present your work to our global, expert community at Imperial College, London, submit your full paper, abstract or panel proposal by 27 November 2023.
