Aims and Focus

The second STAI workshop is focused on the broad area of safe and trustworthy AI.

Call for Papers

In the last few years, there have been considerable advances in the capabilities of AI systems. However, guaranteeing that these systems are safe and trustworthy is still an issue. An AI system is considered to be safe when we can provide some assurance about its behaviour, and it is considered to be trustworthy if the average user can have well-placed confidence in the system and its decision-making.

This workshop takes a broad view of safety and trustworthiness, covering areas such as the following.

Best Paper Awards

There will be an award pool (amount TBC) for the best papers and posters accepted to this workshop. We highly encourage submissions in all areas of safe and trustworthy AI, spanning both contemporary and future concerns. The award pool will be divided between a number of winning papers.

Submission Details

STAI23 aims to encourage discussion and sharing of ideas, and to build connections between people working in related areas. There will not be any published proceedings for STAI23; this allows us to welcome not only original, unpublished papers, but also papers that have been published in a relevant conference or journal, and work that is under review at other relevant venues.

STAI23 offers three types of submissions.

It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that submitting a published paper, or paper under review, does not violate the conditions of the venue where that work has previously been submitted/published. 

Authors of accepted papers may be invited to give a talk or present a poster. There will be a prize for the best paper and a prize for the best poster. We will not give prizes to submissions in the published papers track.

All submissions must be written in English.

The reviewing process is double-blind, so the submissions should be anonymized and not contain information that could identify the authors. 

Use the button below to submit; it will take you to the EasyChair submission form. Choose 'make a new submission' and then 'WORKSHOP: Safe and Trustworthy AI (STAI)'. 

Call for PC

In addition to advancing research in the area of Safe and Trustworthy AI, this workshop aims to give early career researchers (ECRs) working in relevant fields the opportunity to gain experience of participating in a PC, and will provide training and support for this. We are inviting both experienced reviewers and ECRs to join our PC (ensuring all papers receive at least one review from an experienced PC member). 

If you are an ECR who works in a field relevant to the safety and/or trustworthiness of AI and would like to be considered for this opportunity, please register your interest below, no later than 15 May. No prior experience in reviewing is necessary.

EDIT: Due to an incredible amount of registrations of interest, we can accept to no more.

Registration and Waivers

Registration for the workshop is via ICLP2023. At least one author of each accepted workshop paper is required to register for ICLP2023. 

ICLP offer some support options for students.

We hope to be able to provide some financial support for those who may otherwise find it difficult to attend STAI23. (Details TBC.)
