The conference will be held September 5-7\, 2025\, at the \;University of Bucharest\, Romania\, as part of \;"The \;effects \;of \;LLM \;interaction in digital and virtual environments on TOM" \;ICUB grant in enhancing institutional performance at the University of Bucharest\, gathering a research team from Philosophy\, Linguistics\, Cognitive Psychology and Evolutionary Biology.
\nIt will have a \;mixed format\, in that speakers may choose whether they present online only or face to face at the event's location (if so\, their session will enjoy a live audience\, but it will also be streamed to remote participants). Regular presentations will be 30 minutes long\, followed by 10 minutes long Q&\;A and 10 minutes breaks.
\nThe conference explores the ways in which LLMs impact the autonomy of users in the digital environment. It targets the issues raised by interacting with such AI\, especially when it comes to data privacy of users\, data control (the ways in which users get to choose what happens with their data)\, and the ways in which they influence users' decision-making process.
\nPanels include\, but are not limited to:
\n1. LLMs\, privacy and data control - how LLMs bear on user autonomy.
\n2. LLMs and their impact on misinformation\, echo chambers\, fake news and context collapse (opportunities and risks).
\n3. Accountability\, confidentiality\, responsibility and intellectual rights attribution when LLMs collaborate with human users (data generation such as text production\; therapy bots\;
\n4. Do users and LLMs interact epistemically? Are LLM outputs reliable? What leads to epistemic dependence on LLMs? \; Should it be prevented? \;If \;so\, \;how?
\n5. Can we \;trust \;therapy bots? (autonomy\, trust\, and trustworthiness - AI/Chatbot interaction in the context of mental health)
