Call for papers: XAI and Law Special Track at EXTRAAMAS 2022
Réka Markovich
XAI and Law special track at the 4th International Workshop on EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS 2022)
EXTRAAMAS is a forum to discuss and disseminate research on explainable artificial intelligence with a particular focus on cross-disciplinary perspectives. This edition of the workshop has three particular focus topics with the ultimate goal to strengthen cutting-edge foundational and applied research, one of them is XAI&Law.
While its meaning is still – and, probably, for a long time will be – under heated discussion, the privacy regulation in Europe brought the expectation of explainability of the so-called automated decision-making processes. Seemingly radically different disciplines (computer science and law) concern the same issue and the matching between their approaches, methodologies, and notions raise many questions – to which the answers might come from different directions. And this is just one side of this relationship between XAI and Law: XAI itself has applications in the legal domain. Are these different from the "usual" XAI applications?
This year, therefore, EXTRAAMAS submissions are also encouraged in the topics of
– How do the recent trends in XAI relate to the legal requirements?
– What legal requirements should there be to be reflective enough of what can be achieved in XAI?
– How does the (technical) human-in-the-loop approach relate to the (legal) notion of automated decision making?
– Are special techniques and approaches needed when XAI concerns the very domain of law, and if so, what are these?
– Does an explanation provided by XAI in the legal domain count as a legal explanation?
– What can (X)AI do for explaining legal decisions?
The extended submission deadline is March 10.
