WORKSHOP INFORMATION
* Workshop: Sustainable Artificial Intelligence for addressing Online Information Disorder (SAI4OID)
* Co-located with: 24th International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT 2025)
* Submission Deadline: 15 September 2025
* Main Conference Dates: 15 - 18 November 2025
* Location: London, United Kingdom
* Website: https://sai4oid.icar.cnr.it/


ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Digital ecosystems significantly shape public discourse and enable the rapid spread of content worldwide. However, they also introduce critical challenges, notably the widespread dissemination of unverified information often influenced by personal opinions and biases. This proliferation of misinformation undermines public trust, posing serious risks to social cohesion and political stability. Addressing these challenges requires sustainable, AI-driven methods to identify, understand, and mitigate online information disorder effectively.
The SAI4OID workshop invites interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners to collaborate in exploring cutting-edge AI-based solutions targeting misinformation, disinformation, and online manipulation. Contributions related to handling misinformation and modeling user behaviors on the web are particularly encouraged. Sustainability is a key theme, emphasizing strategies that prioritize not only effectiveness and fairness but also environmental and social responsibility.
All accepted new contributions will be published in a companion volume of the IEEE WIC ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI) (IEEE Xplore – Conference Table of Contents).
