Call for Posters!

We are excited to invite researchers, particularly junior researchers, to participate in the poster session at the DataNinja sAIOnARA 2024 Conference. You will have the chance to present your poster on Wednesday, June 26th, from 12.30-14.00h and again from 16:30-17:00h.

We welcome submissions of current work at any stage of the research process. Submission may also offer conceptual syntheses of existing knowledge to present a cohesive new concept or idea. If you’re exclusively submitting previously published work, make sure to clearly state where your work has appeared before at the beginning of the abstract. While previously published work is acceptable for presentation at the conference, note that the selection committee may decide not to include it in the conference proceedings to prevent double publication and maintain the integrity of academic publishing standards.

  • Ethical considerations in AI development and deployment
  • Transparency and explainability in AI algorithms
  • Fairness and bias mitigation strategies
  • Privacy-preserving AI technologies
