### Welcome to AIES 2026 - The 9th AAAI Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society

Artifcial intelligence (AI) has become a pervasive, powerful, and contested feature of contemporary society. No longer experimental artifacts, AI systems now function as infrastructural components shaping governance, labor, knowledge production, and social relations. As these systems move from design into large-scale deployment, their societal impact is
increasingly driven by processes of scaling and institutional entrenchment rather than technical choices alone.

With increased interplay between AI systems and their socioeconomic and geopolitical context, notably in terms of entrenching (or countering) power asymmetries and concentrated control, social and ethical questions around who controls, deploys and governs them are ever more relevant.

While AI has the potential to empower individuals and improve society, the ethical ramifications of AI systems and their impact on human societies require deep and urgent reflection. International organizations, governments, universities, corporations, and philanthropists have recognized this need to embark on an interdisciplinary investigation to help chart a course through the new territory enabled by AI.

AIES is convened each year by program co-chairs from Computer Science, Law and Policy, the Social Sciences, Ethics and Philosophy, and welcomes a broad range of methodological approaches, including empirical, normative, participatory, critical, and technical work. Our goal is to encourage talented scholars in these and related fields to submit their best work related to morality, law, policy, psychology, the other social sciences, and AI, encouraging contributions that make their methodological commitments explicit and speak meaningfully across disciplinary boundaries.

**AIES 2026 Conference will be held in Malmö, Sweden from October 12 to 14, 2026. Please contact <aies@aaai.org> with any questions.**

EMNLP 2026 Workshops and Tutorials Program

The Charleston Conference is an informal annual gathering of librarians, publishers, electronic resource managers, consultants, and vendors of library materials in Charleston, SC, in November, to discuss issues of importance to the library and scholarly publishing landscape. It is designed to be a collegial gathering of individuals from different areas who discuss the same issues in a non-threatening, friendly, and highly informal environment. Presidents of companies discuss and debate with library directors, acquisitions librarians, reference librarians, serials librarians, collection development librarians, and many, many others. Begun in 1980, the Charleston Conference has grown from 20 participants in 1980 to almost 2,500 in 2023.
