31 October - 3 November 2023, Workshop on Proof Theory, Modal Logic and Reflection Principles (Wormshop 2023), Bern, Switzerland
The tradition of modal logics inspired by the notion of formal proof dates back to Gödel, but their study has gained great momentum in the last decade due to novel applications in the foundations of mathematics. Their study moreover requires the interaction of several disciplines in mathematical logic and beyond, including computational logic, proof theory, and point-set topology.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in relevant fields in order to discuss recent advances and foster new collaborations.

2 - 5 November 2023, Challenges and Adequacy Conditions for Logics in the New Age of Artificial Intelligence (ACLAI23)
The widespread diffusion of AI systems today creates new challenges for logics and systems of formal reasoning. If logic is to help make AI more accountable, logic itself needs to be accountable. It should therefore be susceptible to critical examination and evaluation of its adequacy for the objectives which its designers and users have set it. The ACLAI23 workshop will be devoted to challenges and adequacy conditions for logics in light of their important role in contributing to accountable AI.
The workshop will include technical work on current systems of logic for AI as well as philosophical reflections on logical methodology, besides examining external desiderata for logics that arise for instance from legal or ethical requirements for AI systems.

6 - 9 November 2023, 2nd international workshop on the emerging ethical aspects of AI, with a focus on Bias, Risk, Explainability and the role of Logic and Computational Logic (BEWARE-23), Rome, Italy
Current AI applications do not guarantee objectivity and are riddled with biases and legal difficulties. AI systems need to perform safely, but problems of opacity, bias and risk are pressing. Definitional and foundational issues about what kinds of bias and risks are involved in opaque AI technologies are still very much open. Moreover, AI is challenging Ethics and brings the need to rethink the basis of Ethics. In this context, it is natural to look for theories, tools and technologies to address the problem of automatically detecting biases and implementing ethical decision-making.
This workshop addresses issues of logical, ethical and epistemological nature in AI through the use of interdisciplinary approaches. We aim to bring together researchers in AI, philosophy, ethics, epistemology, social science, etc., to promote collaborations and enhance discussions towards the development of trustworthy AI methods and solutions that users and stakeholders consider technologically reliable and socially acceptable.
BEWARE23 is co-located with the AIxIA 2023 conference.
7 December 2023, Conference on Techniques from Logic in Mathematics (CTLM 2023), Vienna, Austria

30 - 31 March 2024, 4th Tsinghua Interdisciplinary Workshop on Logic, Language and Meaning (TLLM IV): "The Connectives in Logic and Language", Beijing, China
The propositional connectives – and, or, not, if-then, etc. – are fundamental building blocks in formal as well as natural languages. Propositional Logic is the fundament of practically all current systems of logic; every beginning logic course starts with it. Still, the proof theory and semantics of systems of propositional logic are far from trivial, and have been studied intensely by logicians in the last one and a half century, not least in recent decades. Perhaps the most familiar recent work in this area concerns conditionals in formal and natural languages. In this workshop we also focus on the apparently simpler connectives expressing (various versions of) conjunction, disjunction, and negation.
Researchers working from a cross-linguistic perspective also focus on how the connectives are encoded in different languages, and ask whether classical logic is capable of capturing the variations and universals exhibited. There is also growing interest in the acquisition and processing of natural language connectives. In the context of the hotly discussed Large Language Models (LLMs), understanding connectives presents novel challenges that deserve in-depth exploration.
The idea behind the TLLM workshops is to bring together logicians and linguists around a specific theme of common interest. Thus, we welcome contributions on any general or particular aspect of the propositional connectives in logic or languag.
We invite submissions of 2-page abstracts (including references) on any of the broad themes related to the connectives in logic and language as suggested above. After a review procedure, authors of accepted abstracts will have the opportunity to present their papers at the workshop. After the workshop, a volume of full papers (properly refereed) will be published in the Springer LNCS – FoLLI series. Abstracts should be submitted via Easychair.
