Description The “Forging Trust in Artificial Intelligence” workshop focuses on enhancing AI trustworthiness through transparency, fairness, and privacy. A special focus is given to outlining and addressing the challenges in using sequential, continuous and multimodal data in NLP and AIoT (Artificial Intelligence in IoT). This year’s event highlights explainability as vital for understanding and debugging neural networks and ML models, from LLM outputs to IoT decisions, and improving AI performance. Fairness and bias mitigation remain central, ensuring ethical AI applications. By aligning with IJCNN’s mission, the workshop provides actionable insights to develop AI systems that are transparent, ethical, and reliable.

General Topics of Interest (For a detailed list of topics, please visit the workshop website): Explainability/Interpretability in ML and NLP Models Explainability/Interpretability in Artificial Intelligence over IoT Data Causal Analysis for Predictive Maintenance Fairness and Ethical Development in AI Privacy Preservation in continuous data analysis and ML Interpretable LLM Architectures and Prompt Engineering
 

Article Types and Publication: The workshop welcomes submissions in the form of full papers (8 pages), or short papers (4 pages). Full papers are going to be reviewed following the same reviewing process as the main conference articles, by at least three members of our expert technical program committee and will be considered for publication at the IJCNN proceedings, on the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
