‘Language in the Human-Machine Era’ (https://lithme.eu/) welcomes everyone interested in the impact of new and emerging language technologies that integrate with human senses. Whether you are a tech developer who wants to learn more about linguistics, or a linguist who wants to know more about tech, we want to hear from you! You can find out more about our themes of interest from our published forecast report ( https://doi.org/10.17011/jyx/reports/20210518/1) and our animations ( https://lithme.eu/animations).

Our 4th annual conference will be held at UCLouvain (Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) on 2-3 September 2024. This year's theme is: ‘Exploring the Dark Side of Future Language Technologies: Linguistic (In)security, Ethics, and Privacy in the Human-Machine Era’.

The call for papers is now open, and we warmly encourage submissions from any eligible researcher or practitioner who is interested in exploring these timely topics. We welcome experienced developers, but no technological expertise is required, only an interest in exploring the possible effects of these near-future advances in language technology.

Presentations can address any of the topics that fall within the interests of LITHME. Selection for funded places will be made by the conference scientific committee. The deadline for submitting your abstract is June 8th, 2024. More details of funding eligibility, the conference theme, and a link to the abstract submission form are on our website: https://lithme.eu/conference2024/

Please forward this message to anyone who may be interested, and please repost the social media announcements here: https://twitter.com/LgHumanMachine/status/1787799682338390457 https://bsky.app/profile/lghumanmachine.bsky.social/post/3krvwfjaqpk2f

All the best, Dave (on behalf of the organising committee)
