But often the information on these projects\, their initiators\, funders\, methods and objectives i s not transparent\, hindering the goal of serving the public. Many AI appl ications touch upon sensitive areas with public wellbeing at stake\, such as public health\, mobility\, and justice systems. In this interdisciplina ry workshop we will connect public interest theory to the debate about AI projects and foster exchange amongst existing projects that use AI to serv e the public interest to explore common challenges\, methods\, and standar ds.  \n\nThis workshop introduces the concept of public interest AI and aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in this field. We wis h to host a discussion on the criteria\, necessary processes and societal conditions for AI systems to serve the public interest. We invite submissi ons on case studies as well as broader research on this topic\, including issues around data collection\, data sharing\, who audits public interest driven systems\,and other aspects of the AI lifecycle. The motivation to u se AI for a common good is claimed widely. Aside from the popularity of th e claim\, the qualities that stand for the common good or public interest of AI are rather fuzzy. From a research perspective the lack of empirical data to analyze what kind of criteria and which actors define AI in the pu blic interest is problematic. \n\nWe hope this workshop can contribute to an exchange of recent empirical and conceptual research findings on AI sy stems serving the public interest. We hope to spark an interdisciplinary d iscussion on public interest AI and the economic\, organizational and tech nological conditions underpinning its success and sustainable impact. This workshop addresses AI methods from an interdisciplinary perspective bring ing the goal of serving public interest to the forefront. We encourage sub missions that report on work in progress\, case studies\, tools\, or prese nt a synthesis of empirical insights on AI in the public interest. Topics of interest include\, but are not limited to:\n\n AI for public health an d medicine\n AI for sustainability\n AI for mobility\n AI for accessibi lity\n AI for journalism \n AI for equality &\; equitable AI\n AI a nd fairness\, transparency\, and accountability questions\n\n \;\nWork shop Organisers\n\n Dr. Theresa Züger (HIIG) zueger@hiig.de (primary con tact person) \n Dr. Hadi Asghari (HIIG) hadi.asghari@hiig.de\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.hiig.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/P IAI-–-Gesamtprojekt-–-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Berlin X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Berlin BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230326T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0200 TZNAME:CEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
