About the workshop

As generative AI systems such as large language models and synthetic media generators become deeply integrated into big data ecosystems—spanning journalism, governance, healthcare, cybersecurity, and other critical sectors—, they introduce complex challenges and critical questions around trust, governance, and harm mitigation.

This half-day workshop addresses the intersection of generative AI and big data from both technical and ethical perspectives. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss unintended consequences of generative AI, explore real-world failure scenarios, and collaboratively identify solutions.

The workshop includes a keynote and/or an interactive panel with audience Q&A, and lightning talks selected through an open call.

We invite lightning talk submissions that bring forward original insights, early-stage ideas, case studies, and provocations. The workshop will foster interactive discussion and interdisciplinary exchange, with the goal of shaping a research and policy agenda for responsible generative AI integration in data science and big data environments.

Themes and topics

We will examine the ways in which generative technologies may disrupt core components of the data lifecycle—from collection to reporting—and investigate emerging approaches to mitigate their potential harms.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Failures, biases, and unintended consequences in generative AI models.
Data assurance and trust in generative content.
Transparency, red-teaming, and risk mitigation techniques.
Impact on data protection, provenance, and auditability.
Policy and regulatory responses to synthetic media and AI-generated content.
Detection and prevention of malicious uses of generative AI (e.g., deepfakes, fraud, misinformation).
Governance models for safe and ethical deployment of generative systems.
Trustworthiness and interpretability in AI-enhanced big data applications.

Extended abstracts (at least 5 pages, excluding references): ongoing projects, new ideas, or early-stage results.
Non-archival papers: relevant work recently accepted or currently submitted at other venues, including abstracts, discussion papers, critical reviews of recently published work, position papers, and presentations of ongoing or incomplete research.

How to submit

Formatting and submission: Papers must be written in English and formatted using the CEURART style required for publication with CEUR-WS (You can find the Overleaf LaTeX template here). Submissions must be uploaded in PDF format through the Microsoft CMT system at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ITADATA2025 by selecting the option "Workshop: Risks and Unintended Harms of Generative AI Systems" when creating a new submission.
Publication: Accepted papers will be published in an open-access volume of the CEUR Proceedings. The proceedings will include only original contributions (regular papers, short papers, and extended abstracts of at least 5 pages). Non-archival submissions can present relevant work recently accepted or currently submitted at other venues. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper.
