Ethics in Clinical AI Applications Workshop @ IJC AI–ECAI 2026

Dear colleagues,


We are pleased to invite submissions to the workshop “Ethics in Clinical 
AI Applications (ETHICAIA)”, to be held in conjunction with IJCAI/ECAI 2026.

🌐 Website: https://ethicaia.loria.fr/
📍 Location: Bremen, Germany
📅 Workshop dates: August 15–17, 2026 (TBC)
📝 Submission deadline: May 15, 2026

*About the workshop*

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in clinical 
contexts—supporting diagnosis, risk prediction, treatment planning, and 
patient interaction. However, these applications raise critical ethical 
challenges related to fairness, bias, accountability, transparency, 
privacy, and patient safety.

ETHICAIA provides a dedicated forum to explore these issues as an 
integral part of AI research, not as an afterthought. We particularly 
emphasize the connection between ethical concerns and the robustness and 
real-world reliability of clinical AI systems, including challenges such 
as data shifts, uncertainty, and deployment conditions.

We welcome contributions from across AI fields, including machine 
learning, NLP, computer vision, multimodal systems, and foundation 
models in healthcare.

*Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):*

  *
    Fairness, bias, and representation in clinical AI
  *
    Ethical challenges in clinical decision support
  *
    Robustness and resilience under real-world conditions
  *
    Multimodal and foundation models in healthcare
  *
    Explainability, accountability, and contestability
  *
    Human–AI interaction and shared decision-making
  *
    Privacy, consent, and secondary use of clinical data
  *
    Synthetic data: benefits and ethical risks
  *
    Evaluation beyond accuracy (metrics, benchmarks, validation)
  *
    Regulatory and governance challenges
  *
    Real-world case studies and failure analyses
  *
    Ethical-by-design methodologies for clinical AI
