ABSTRACT
=========

The GENERAL workshop explores advances in General and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GGAI), including breakthroughs in areas like natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV). It emphasizes the emerging capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) and promotes Human-Centered AIs with applications like ChatGPT and Midjourney. The workshop delves into generating human-like content across text and images, highlighting the creative, coherent, and unexpected properties of these AI models. A key aspect is AI explainability, focusing on understanding, explaining, and controlling the complexities of these AI systems in terms of fairness, accountability, and transparency. Additionally, it encourages interdisciplinary collaboration between fields like HCI, psychology, social studies, and the arts to enrich the understanding of AI's societal and cultural impacts.

======
TOPICS
======
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

∑ GENERATIVE AI
– Users perceptions of images, texts and sounds generated by Generative AIs
– Machine Psychology
– AI Assistants, Chatbots and Virtual Agents
– Emerging properties of human-like intelligence in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs)
– Interfaces and techniques for interacting with Generative AIs
– User studies on systems leveraging Generative AI

∑ AI EXPLAINABILITY TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
– AI explainability, transparency, and accountability in large-scale models
– Human-machine cooperation

∑ ETHICS IN GENERATIVE AI
– Ethical issues in Generative AI
– Consequences of Generative AIs on individuals and societies
– Safety and control mechanisms for large language models: analyzing and mitigating harms from generative AI like misinformation, biases, or synthetic media

∑ INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AND AI COMMUNICATION
– Emerging applications of AI and interdisciplinary research
– Communicating the potential of AI to the general public and fostering public understanding.

============
SUBMISSIONS
============
We accept two kinds of submissions:

(A) Regular papers (up to 12 pages, including references)
(B) Position Papers, Ongoing projects and Demos (5-8 pages + references)

Submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=general23

All submitted papers will be evaluated by two members of the program committee, based on originality, significance, relevance, and technical quality. Note that the references do not count toward page limits. Submissions should be single-blinded, i.e. authors’ names should be included in the submissions.

We aim to publish all accepted papers in CEUR WS Proceedings, as a joint volume. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop.

================
IMPORTANT DATES
================
Early submissions are strongly encouraged. We adopt a rolling review system: early submissions will be immediately reviewed and the notification will be sent out approximately two weeks after the submission.

* Paper submissionfinal deadline: June 30, 2023
* Notifications to authors: July 14, 2023
* Camera-ready version deadline: July 21, 2023.
