4th Workshop on the Assessment of Indirect Effects of Digitalisation (WAID): Assessing the indirect effects of AI used in research
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently being used in various aspects of research, both in academic and applied settings. This full-day workshop aims to enable the ICT4S community to think about the indirect effects of using AI in research, how to assess these effects, and how to mitigate their environmental impacts. We invite all academic researchers and practitioners interested in AI and sustainability to join the conversation, both in person and online.
Prior to the workshop, participants are expected to submit one or more examples of using AI in research from their own practice or research to serve as case studies (by completing a Quick Survey before the end of May). In the first part of the workshop, we will identify the potential indirect effects of using AI in research of the selected case studies by using the Rebound Archetypes tool (design cards to think through indirect effects available here). In the second part, we will discuss the specificities of the different case studies’ indirect effects and work on a cartography of the possible assessment methods (qualitative, quantitative) for each category of indirect effects. Finally, the workshop will wrap up with a discussion on potential actions to be taken by the participants.

This room will be in use throughout the week for:
- Workshops on Monday and Friday
- Research Papers on Tuesday to Thursday
For the research paper sessions, there will be five tables, with a paper at each table. The author will have 30 minutes to discuss the paper with the group at each table, and will repeat this three times in the 90 minute paper session.
For the parallel paper video presentations, there will be 3 hybrid tables, with a paper at each table. The author will have 30 minutes to discuss the paper with the group at each table, and will repeat this three times in the 90 minute session.
