3rd Value and Responsibility in AI Technologies Conference 18-20 April 2027

The Department of Philosophy and the Institute for Informatics and Applied Technology at Gonzaga University are running the third Value and Responsibility in AI Technologies conference, 18-20 April 2027. 

Our 2027 theme is Principles to Practice: how can we learn, teach, work, innovate, lead and live with AI in ways that protect human dignity, strengthen human agency, and help people and communities flourish. We call for proposals from faculty, researchers, educators, students, industry professionals, and community partners in every field, from technology and business to philosophy and education. 

Collaborative, cross-disciplinary proposals are especially encouraged. Every proposal must look at AI through a human-centered lens and address its impact on people and/or society. Technical work is encouraged when it shows who is affected, how, and why it matters. 

Suggested topics areas: 

Education and learning; design and technical practice; work, business, and the economy; philosophy, society and community. Formats you may participate in include: regular talk (15~20 min), lightning talk (3~5 min), poster, demo, breakout session (50-min), and half-day workshop. 

The program committee will review the submissions and work with the authors to finalize the program. 

Submit at https://forms.gle/iSwBm5zWB4oAKWqE8 with the following:

a proposal title; 
names, affiliations and emails for all presenters; 
a 250~300-word abstract including reference to human and societal impact; 
your preferred format(s). 

Proposals are reviewed for human-centered focus and societal impact (required), connection to the theme, clarity, practical value, and contribution to a diverse program. 

Proposals due: 15 December 2026. 
Decisions sent: 1 February 2027.
