NeurIPS 2023 Affinity Events

The Muslims in ML workshop seeks to promote awareness, collaboration, and the development of mitigation strategies to ensure that machine learning and artificial intelligence advancements are implemented fairly and equitably for Muslims worldwide. By bringing together a diverse range of experts and incorporating multiple perspectives and backgrounds, our workshop aims to examine the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI/ML in the lives of Muslims and those in Muslim-majority countries. The workshop's focus extends beyond religious identification, encompassing cultural association and proximity to the Muslim identity. This broad approach acknowledges the complexity and diversity within the Muslim community and emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and understanding in addressing the potential impact of AI/ML technologies.

Indigenous In AI’s vision is to build an international community of Native, Aboriginal, and First Nations who will collectively transform their home communities with advanced technology. By elevating the voices of Indigenous ML researchers we will inspire future impactful work and break stereotypes. Additionally, this group will strive to educate the broader NeurIPS on contemporary indigenous issues relevant to information technology and practices.
