ABOUT SIAI

The Social Impact of AI: Research, Diversity, and Inclusion Frameworks (SIAI-ReDI workshop is part of the broader SIAI global initiative. SIAI is an international platform committed to exploring and addressing the societal effects of AI technologies, with a focus on diversity, ethics, and inclusion. Through a series of workshops, conferences, and collaborative events across multiple regions, SIAI fosters global dialogue and cross-disciplinary partnerships to ensure that AI benefits all communities while minimizing harm.

SIAI-ReDI continues this mission by providing a platform at AAAI-25 to discuss and develop inclusive frameworks for evaluating AI's societal impact across diverse contexts. As AI increasingly shapes healthcare, governance, education, and public safety worldwide, there is a growing need for tools that address issues like bias, fairness, and accountability. This workshop provides a unique platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to develop adaptable frameworks that consider diversity, equity, and inclusion while minimizing risks such as bias, exclusion, and privacy violations. Join us for insightful discussions and collaborative sessions to shape global AI practices and foster responsible innovation.
