Abstract

Faced with multiple, intersecting crises, numerous computing technologies have emerged and interacted with the crises. Amidst the growing prominence of AI, the discourses on AI-related harms predominantly focus on AI deployment and use, shifting attention away from their social and structural underpinnings. In response, this workshop seeks to reflect and map how AI intersects with the crises through framing the costs of AI. With costs of AI we refer to the human and natural toll of AI systems, such as labor exploitation, environmental degradation, and perpetuated social inequality, and emphasize the inherent and inevitable trade-offs in AI development and use. We invite contributions on various forms of AI-related costs, and critical engagement with methods to approach and address these costs. This workshop aims to (1) map the various costs of AI; (2) explore and reflect on concepts, frameworks, and methods to approach and engage with them; and (3) foster exchanges and collaborations in an interdisciplinary community.
