A new Scientific Working Group: Responsible AI for AIM Research Are we ready for the moment when AI agents start submitting generated scenarios to the IAMC database? The IAMC's newest Scientific Working Group, Responsible AI for IAM Research (AI4IAM), will be the community's response.
AI4IAM is a platform for shared learning, best practices, and formal guidance on how AI is used across the IAM research workflow, from data preparation and model emulation to scenario analysis and manuscript drafting. The group works to ensure that AI adoption supports transparency, robustness, and open science, while strengthening the IAMC's connection to the broader AI research community.
The co-chairs are Haewon McJeon (KAIST), Yang Ou (Peking University), and Laurent Drouet (CMCC), supported by an advisory committee spanning eight institutions across four continents.
An expression of interest call will follow shortly. Participation from all IAMC members is highly encouraged. More... |
