Call for Papers: Deployable AI Workshop AAAI-26
Rahul Vashisht
Dear all,
Call for Papers
https://dai-workshop.github.io/
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved into a multifaceted research domain, with recent generative models like Gemini, GPT-5, Claude, Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, and others demonstrating remarkable capabilities across diverse tasks. While their potential is immense, real-world deployment requires addressing not only important technical challenges but also ethical and societal ones. It also requires several fundamental research questions and issues, involving algorithmic, systemic, and societal aspects, to be addressed.
This workshop will address these critical research questions for responsible AI deployment. Specifically, the workshop will focus on algorithmic, systemic, and societal considerations to ensure that our AI models adhere to rigorous standards for fairness, ethics, explainability, privacy, and security.
The 4th Workshop of Deployable AI (DAI 2026) will be held at the AAAI 2026 conference on January 26th/27th, 2026, with a special focus on the deployability aspects of Generative AI models and systems.
Topics: We invite submissions on the theoretical foundations, algorithmic techniques, and practical strategies to ensure the responsible deployment of AI models. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Deployable AI: Concepts and Models
Privacy-Preserving AI in the era of GenAI
Language Models & Deployability
Explainable and Interpretable AI
Fairness and Ethics in AI
AI models and social impact
Trustworthy AI models
