The AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society (AIES) is a peer-reviewed academic conference series focused on societal and ethical aspects of artificial intelligence. The conference is jointly organized by the Association for Computing Machinery, namely the Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGAI), and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, and "is designed to shift the dynamics of the conversation on AI and ethics to concrete actions that scientists, businesses and society alike can take to ensure this promising technology is ushered into the world responsibility."[1][2] The conference community includes lawyers, practitioners, and academics in computer science, philosophy, public policy, economics, human-computer interaction, and more. Its papers are regularly cited highlighting ethical issues with AI technologies,[3][4] including automation,[5] democracy,[6] policy,[7] power,[8] or bias.[9][10]

As of 2025, the conference is sponsored by the National Science Foundation as well as various large technology companies including Google, Lenovo, and IBM Research.[11] In recent years, sponsors include Sony, eBay, Salesforce, DeepMind, Meta and others.[12]
