Special Theme: Measuring the Societal Impact of AI and NLP This year we would like to find an answer to the question: How can we measure the social impact of AI and NLP? With even the bigger raise of opportunities of AI and language technologies, we would like to understand how it influences society and if in positive manners. Position, philosophical-grounded, and new evaluation framework suggestion papers are very much welcomed to enhance the discussion!
We are very much looking forward to discussions on how modern AI and language technologies can be responsible and safely applied for various societal applications.
