CFP: CSCW 2026 Workshop on Ethics Governance for AI Research

Join us for the Ethics Governance for AI as Research Object and Research Tool workshop at CSCW 2026!

Are you working on ethical guidelines and norms for AI as either a research object (developing or evaluating AI) or a research tool (using AI to support research)? Do you do digital research and experience ethics gaps when interacting with boards such as the IRB?  In the tradition of CSCW workshops that address emerging research challenges by developing consensus, procedures, and new research ideas, this workshop will focus on AI challenges for CSCW research.

We will map the current landscape of methods and interventions available to govern AI research practices, and will cooperatively brainstorm next steps for governing practices in the CSCW community. We will begin with case studies of ethics governance as tools to think with and critique, and ask participants to present their own research on ethics governance, the doing of ethics in research, or stakeholder perspectives on ethical issues in AI research. We will work together on a potential special issue highlighting themes from the day, and come up with next steps to respond to the ways AI challenges ethics in CSCW research.
