Topics
This workshop explores how fairness principles and tools must evolve as AI systems increasingly reason, adapt, and act autonomously. We welcome submissions of novel work relating to fairness in alignment procedures, agentic AI, and foundation models, including (but not limited to):
Normative foundations of alignment and fairness
Fairness-aware value learning and preference modeling
Cultural and contextual dimensions of alignment
Governance and oversight for agentic systems
Ethical and accountability frameworks
Long-term fairness and societal impact
Fairness metrics and evaluation for agentic AI
Bias mitigation in foundation models
Trade-offs between fairness, alignment, and performance
We continue to welcome broad work on fairness including, fairness metrics and mitigation techniques, novel formalizations of fairness, algorithmic approaches to capturing and mitigating evolving biases, and methods in fairness related subfields (model multiplicity, interpretability, robustness, etc.)
