DESCRIPTION:Advancement in AI technologies is a double-edged sword in term
 s of its impact on our\nsociety. While AI has been used to accelerate the 
 development of our economy\, improve our\nquality of life\, and more impor
 tantly\, save lives\, it can also cause problems such as\ndiscrimination\,
  loss of jobs\, and even threaten human existence if not managed properly.
 \nThis workshop attempts to develop a framework on which the social goodne
 ss of AI can be\nstudied and evaluated. We shall survey existing AI techno
 logies that have been employed to\nimprove our quality of life (e.g.\, AI 
 to estimate air pollution and how to avoid it)\, save lives\n(AI for medic
 al diagnostics\, predictions\, and recommendation systems)\, and to ensure
  our\nprivacy and data security (AI to self detect outliers and unusual ac
 tivities). We shall also\ninvestigate the problems of AI\, such as discrim
 ination\, unethical and immoral applications\,\nand threats to humans. Our
  goal is to investigate whether it is possible to have an automated\nsyste
 m which is capable of checking whether a machine is making decisions in an
  ethical\,\nmoral\, trustworthy\, and just manner. This system may have mu
 ltiple components that\nautomatically monitor each other and report any br
 eaches in privacy\, data security\, etc.\nThere will be paper presentation
 s and a panel discussion.
