Artificial intelligence increasingly decides what we see, the jobs we're offered, the care we receive, and how we're governed. Those systems can widen opportunity — or quietly entrench bias, exclusion, and harm. The International Conference on the Social Impact of AI is a global, cross-disciplinary forum for confronting that tension directly.
Now hosted by the Digital Equity ACM Chapter, SIAI brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from every region to share evidence, build practical frameworks, and shape AI that benefits all communities. Join us for two days of keynotes, panels, and peer-reviewed paper sessions — in person or online.
Paper submission deadline: September 1, 2026 (23:59 AoE)
Notification to authors: September 30, 2026 (23:59 AoE)

We welcome original research papers, case studies, and position papers on the social impact of AI — from fairness, accountability, and inclusion to the effects of generative and agentic systems on work, democracy, wellbeing, and the environment. Accepted papers will be published by Springer Nature.
SIAI 2026 is a hybrid conference, with the same rate whether you join in person or online. Register by the October 9 early-bird deadline for the lowest price.
