We seek short papers (3,000–4,000 words, excluding bibliography) that engage critically with the following topics, broadly conceived:

• Autonomy, responsibility, and AI
• The nature of intelligence: Human vs. Artificial
• Bias, fairness, and transparency in AI systems
• AI and influence on belief, evidence, intellectual character  

After an initial screening, all relevant submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review by an expert panel. Selected papers will be presented at the conference, after which authors will have the opportunity to revise their work for publication.  Final versions of the accepted papers will be published in a special proceedings issue of the diamond open-access journal Philosophy of AI:https://journals.ub.uni-koeln.de/index.php/phai/index  We anticipate space for around 30 paper presentations in two parallel sessions. In addition to paper presentations, we will also host a poster session, with space for up to 30 posters. Papers rejected as paper presentations might still be accepted as posters.    Important Details:
