Wednesday, October 23 2024 – The Global AI Ethics Institute (GAIEI) has announced a call for submissions for its inaugural White Paper Prize. The initiative seeks outstanding research papers on artificial intelligence (AI) ethics that have been published during 2024.
All writers, whether researchers or scholars, as well as public professionals worldwide who have contributed to the field of AI ethics through original works are encouraged to submit their papers for consideration. The submission deadline is the end of the calendar year 2024.
To be eligible, entries must meet two key criteria:
- Publication in a recognised medium: Submissions should have been published in 2024 in a reputable and accredited journal, newspaper, magazine, or book (as a chapter).
- Original work: The submissions must be entirely original works of the author.
The GAIEI White Paper Prize will award one winner with a $1000 cash prize. In January, the GAIEI will announce the winning paper through its publicist network and make it available on the GAIEI website with permission from both the author and original publication.
The topic of the published papers should be AI ethics, preferably from a global perspective. For instance, how AI affects a country or countries of the global south, far east, etc; or some aspect of AI governance and its consequences; or of structuring AI governance; or an effect of AI on society at large and its ethical dimensions. Any topics having to do with global AI ethics will be considered.
Kevin LaGrandeur, GAIEI research director (pictured above) said the White Paper Prize was important for encouraging ongoing research and ethical context into the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
“We are thrilled to announce the first Global AI Ethics Institute White Paper prize. The inaugural topic for submissions is ‘AI, ethics and the future of work’ with a global perspective,” he said.
“As leaders, companies, societies and the world, we have to get this right. We look forward to sharing not just the winner, but the key insights we gather from thought leaders in this critical area.
LaGrandeur said the institute was concerned with AI, ethics and the future of work, with a global perspective.
