These systems filte r\, sort\, score\, recommend\, personalize\, and otherwise shape human exp erience\, increasingly making or informing decisions with major impact on access to\, e.g.\, credit\, insurance\, healthcare\, parole\, social secur ity\, and immigration. Although these systems may bring myriad benefits\, they also contain inherent risks\, such as codifying and entrenching biase s\; reducing accountability\, and hindering due process\; they also increa se the information asymmetry between individuals whose data feed into thes e systems and big players capable of inferring potentially relevant inform ation.\nACM FAccT is an interdisciplinary conference dedicated to bringing together a diverse community of scholars from computer science\, law\, so cial sciences\, and humanities to investigate and tackle issues in this em erging area. Research challenges are not limited to technological solution s regarding potential bias\, but include the question of whether decisions should be outsourced to data- and code-driven computing systems. We parti cularly seek to evaluate technical solutions with respect to existing prob lems\, reflecting upon their benefits and risks\; to address pivotal quest ions about economic incentive structures\, perverse implications\, distrib ution of power\, and redistribution of welfare\; and to ground research on fairness\, accountability\, and transparency in existing legal requiremen ts.\nThe sixth annual ACM FAccT conference will be held in Hyatt Regency M cCormick Place (You can start to book your hotel stay at Hyatt with the sp ecial group rate here.) in Chicago from Monday 12th through Thursday 15th of June 2023. The conference brings together researchers and practitioners interested in fairness\, accountability\, and transparency in socio-techn ical systems. It builds on the success of the 2022 conference held in Seou l\, South Korea.\nOur research community is multidisciplinary in its make- up and orientation. The conference organizers welcome your contributions a nd insights. If you have thoughts and suggestions about this year’s confer ence\, please e-mail the ACM FAccT 2023 General Co-chairs Christina Harrin gton\, Sarah Fox\, Aziz Huq\, and Chenhao Tan at general-chairs@facctconfe rence.org.\nFrom Research Insight to Policy Impact: How You Can Engage in Current AI Policy Debates\nJune 12 at 4:30-6 pm CT / 3:30-5 pm ET\nSpeaker s:\n\nAlexandra Givens\, Center for Democracy &\; Technology\nBrian Che n\, Data &\; Society Research Institute\nSorelle Friedler\, Haverford U niversity\, former White House Office of Science &\; Technology Policy \nSarah Myers West\, AI Now\, former Senior Advisor on AI at the Federal T rade Commission\nRidhi Shetty\, Center for Democracy &\; Technology\n\n Now is an incredibly active time for AI policy and regulation\, and FAccT researchers have much to contribute. How can you plug in? This interactive session will provide an overview of major AI policy-making efforts curren tly underway in the US and EU\, and give guidance / build connections for researchers who want to get more involved. The session leads are advocates and former government staff who are working on policy efforts ranging fro m the AI Act in Europe\, to next steps for the AI Bill of Rights\, NIST AI Risk Management Framework\, and other various agency and state initiative s in the U.S. Participants will leave the workshop with specific ideas of how they might engage in policy processes\, and tools\, guidance and relat ionships to act on those ideas. Attendees already working on these and oth er policy efforts are warmly welcomed to share their own experiences and b uild connections.\nCo-Design Perspectives on Algorithm Transparency Report ing: Guidelines and Prototypes\nJune 15 at 1:15-2:15 pm CT / 2:15-3:15 pm ET\nSpeakers:\n\nMichal Luria\, Center for Democracy &\; Technology\n\n Recommendation algorithms by and large determine what people see on social media. Users know little about how these algorithms work or what informat ion they use to make their recommendations. But what exactly should platfo rms share with users about recommendation algorithms that would be meaning ful to them? Research has looked into frameworks for explainability of alg orithms as well as design features across social media platforms that can contribute to their transparency and accountability. We build on these pri or efforts to explore what a recommendation algorithm transparency report may include and how it should present information to users. Through a huma n-centered co-design research process we present the following results: (1 ) A set of guidelines for recommendation algorithm transparency reports\; (2) initial suggestions\, in the form of prototypes\, for more engaging an d interactive forms of transparency\; (3) an evaluation of these prototype s’ strengths and weaknesses\, and areas of exploration for future work.\nR egister here.
