DESCRIPTION
------------------------------
Managing privacy online continues to be a challenging task.  On one
hand, regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are
coming into effect with the aim of providing transparency and privacy
guarantees to users.  On the other hand, privacy violations are occurring
more than ever.  Increasingly, users need intelligent tools that can help
them understand,
analyze, and manage privacy online.  Artificial Intelligence (AI)
techniques can be used to develop new algorithms or methods to address this.

Preserving privacy of users becomes especially difficult in
social software, where users interact extensively, such as collaborative
systems, massively online multiplayer games, or Internet of Things (IoT)
applications.
Traditional software,  such as banking or e-commerce systems, allow users
to make transactions on their own account and thus  ensure isolation of
transactions; i.e., one user's actions do
not have affect on a second user.  However, the main idea of social
software is that users' transactions are interleaved in a way that
facilitates social interaction.  For example, in online social
networks, users are allowed to create and share content about
themselves and others.  The content may affect others in ways that
might not be foreseen by others up front; i.e., a piece of content may
easily reach unintended individuals and further inference can reveal
more information about the user. Hence, preserving privacy in social
software requires methods that are beyond those used for traditional
software. This brings about interesting research questions such as:  How to
learn the privacy preferences of users? How to
ensure that each individual's privacy is respected? How to develop software
to help users to manage their privacy better? How to explain the
privacy decisions of the software to users?

This workshop is interested in bringing together AI and privacy
researchers to tackle privacy problems with AI approaches. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

* AI approaches for detecting/preventing privacy violations
* Analysis of privacy policies using AI techniques
* Collective intelligence and decision-making for privacy
* Crowd-sourcing for managing privacy
* Commonsense reasoning for privacy
* Trust in the context of privacy
* Privacy in IoT systems
* Privacy applications
* Privacy engineering
* Privacy by design
* Privacy testing and evaluation methods
* Validation and verification of privacy requirements
* Efforts for collection of privacy benchmark data
* Learning users' privacy expectations, habits, and behaviours
* User studies for understanding privacy
* Human aspects (ethical, psychological, sociological) of usable security
and privacy
* AI for explaining privacy decisions
* Privacy-aware AI
