Our workshop aims to bring together researchers with diverse scientific backgrounds, including (but not limited to) machine learning, human-computer interaction, philosophy, and policy studies. More broadly, our workshop lies at the intersection of computer and social sciences. We welcome all interested researchers to discuss the aspects of pluralistic AI, from its definition to the technical pipeline to broad deployment and social acceptance.

We invite submissions that discuss the technical, philosophical, and societal aspects of pluralistic AI. We provide a non-exhaustive list of topics we hope to cover below. We also broadly welcome any submissions which are broadly relevant to pluralistic alignment.

• Philosophy:
  • Definitions and frameworks for Pluralistic Alignment
  • Ethical considerations in aligning AI with diverse human values
• Machine learning:
  • Methods for pluralistic ML training and learning algorithms
  • Methods for handling annotation disagreements
  • Evaluation metrics and datasets suitable for pluralistic AI
• Human-computer interaction:
  • Designing human-AI interaction that reflects diverse user experiences and values
  • Integrating existing surveys on human values into AI design
  • Navigating privacy challenges in pluralistic AI systems
• Social sciences:
  • Methods for achieving consensus and different forms of aggregation
  • Assessment and measurement of the social impact of pluralistic AI
  • Dealing with pluralistic AI representing values that are offensive to some cultural groups
• Policy studies:
  • Policy and laws for the deployment of pluralistic AI
  • Democratic processes for incorporating diverse values into AI systems on a broad scale
• Applications:
  • Case studies in areas such as hate speech mitigation and public health

Submission Instructions

We invite authors to submit anonymized papers up to 4 pages, excluding references and appendices. All submissions should be in PDF format and made through OpenReview submission portal. Submissions must follow the NeurIPS 2024 template. Checklists are not required for submissions. Reviews will be double-blind, with at least three reviewers assigned to each paper to ensure a thorough evaluation process.

We welcome various types of papers including works in progress, position papers, policy papers, academic papers. All accepted papers will be available on the workshop website, but are to be considered non-archival.
