The growing influence of AI in our daily lives has transformed both the digital landscape and the way we extract, represent, and generate information. As a consequence, it highlighted the demand for ethical and reliable AI that aligns AI tools to moral and cultural human values - especially when hybridizing knowledge structures and semantic data with generative.
The first edition of WISDOMS, the Workshop on Integrating the Semantics of Data, Ontologies, Moral and cultural values and their Societal impact, aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and experts to explore the convergence of ethics, moral and cultural values, and socio-behavioral norms with hybrid knowledge structures, knowledge graphs and generative AI.
The workshop welcomes papers and abstracts for presentations that tackle the challenges of representing values in ontologies, adapting and evaluating ontologies for value-centric domains, and utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs) within the realm of Semantic Web to address the unique hurdles of working with complex ethical data.
