Last week several members of the AIDA research group traveled to Rotterdam to participate in the AI Hype, Hope & Humanity Festival, organized by the ELSA labs in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. During this 3-day event, our collegues engaged in conversations on ethical 🩺, legal ⚖️ and responsible 👷 AI, and on how to put this into practice across various disciplines.

An overview of our contributions to the event:

📢 Talks:

• Maria-Louisa Wightman - People Are Not Just Their Countries. Disentangling Social Determinants of LLM Value Alignment Across Europe

📜 Posters:

• Julian Peire - Not Speaking Your Language: Socioeconomic Disparities in LLM Style Matching
• Noémie De Vlaminck - Large Language Model Based Persuasion Through the Lens of Agency and Obedience
• Filippos Vlahos - Grokipedia vs Wikipedia: An LLM-Based Audit of Neutrality Across Political Ideologies

A big thanks to the organizers for bringing together such an interdisciplinary crowd, and to everyone who stopped by our posters and presentation for a quick chat and to share ideas. 🚀
