CFP: Epistemic Injustice and AI

AI systems now play a role in many practices through which people are heard, interpreted, assessed, and trusted. This raises questions that are not just ethical or political, but also epistemic in nature: whose testimony is treated as credible, whose experiences are made intelligible, and who is able to participate in shared practices of knowledge production? The workshop focuses on these questions by bringing work on epistemic injustice into conversation with current debates about AI, including debates about algorithmic bias, transparency, linguistic exclusion, trust, institutional decision-making, and the distribution of epistemic authority. We welcome contributions on the philosophical, ethical, social, and political dimensions of epistemic injustice and AI. 

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Algorithmic bias and values in AI
• Testimonial and hermeneutical injustice
• Epistemic agency and epistemic trust
• Transparency and explainability in AI
• Injustices linked to linguistic exclusion and issues of communication
• Bridges between epistemic and distributive injustice
• Applications to domains such as medicine, education, and law
• Applications to policy and institutional contexts

We welcome abstracts of up to 500 words, excluding references. Submissions should be anonymised, argumentative, and clearly engage with the workshop theme.

The workshop will feature both oral presentations and a poster session; all presentations must be in person.

We encourage submissions from students and early-career researchers. 

Important dates:

• Submission deadline: 1 November 2026
• Notification of acceptance: 1 December 2026
• Workshop dates: 23-24 March 2027
