AI Trustworthiness Assessment

The accelerated developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) hint at the need for considering "Trust" as a design principle rather than an option. Moreover, the design of AI-based critical systems such as in avionics, mobility, defense, healthcare, finance, critical infrastructures, ... requires proving their trustworthiness. Thus, AI-based critical systems must be assessed across many dimensions by different parties (regulators, auditors, developers, customers, technical inspection companies, reinsurance companies, end-users) for different reasons. Such assessment begins from the early stages of development, including the definition of the specification requirements for the system, the analysis, the design, etc.
To judge AI-based systems merely by the accuracy percentage is a highly misleading metric. Due to the multi-dimensional nature of trust and trustworthiness, one of the main issues is to establish objective attributes such as correctness, data quality, resilience, robustness, safety, security, explainability, fairness, privacy etc, map them onto the AI processes and provide methods and tools to assess them. The choice of attributes depends on contextual elements such as the criticality of the application, the expected use, the nature of the stakeholders involved, etc.

Topics

The goal of this symposium is to grow a community of researchers and practitioners for AI trustworthiness assessment leveraged by AI science, system and software engineering, metrology, and SSH. It aims to explore innovative approaches, metrics, methods, and tools, with a particular focus on the following topics (but not limited to):

• Dataset qualification
• Performance indicators (accuracy, robustness, etc.)
• Test examples generation
• Risks and vulnerabilities
• Non-functional requirements such as accountability, reliability, privacy etc.
• Explainability and interpretability
• Trustworthiness measure and trade-offs (metrics, indicators…)
• Processes and governance mechanisms in organizations
• Sectorial specificities, applications

Format

The symposium will consist in keynotes, presentations of papers, a poster session, round table discussions and one final general discussion.

Submissions

Interested individuals should submit a paper or abstract by the deadline listed below, unless otherwise indicated by the symposium organizers on their supplemental website. Please submit your submissions directly to the individual symposium according to their directions. Do not mail submissions to AAAI. 

8 pages for full papers; 4 pages for poster papers Online submission: http://aita.sciencesconf.org
