✨ That's a wrap on the 2025 #ACM FAccT conference! We're thrilled to have brought together researchers, practitioners, and innovators from around the globe to explore the latest advances in fairness, accountability, and transparency in sociotechnical systems.

A huge thank you to all our attendees, presenters, sponsors, and organizers for making #FAcct2025 a resounding success! 👏

Until next time, keep pushing the boundaries of equitable tech for all 🚀

Ohhhh Molly Crockett‘s @mjcrockett.bsky.social keynote talk at #FAccT2025 was soo good 🔥🔥🔥 She talked about how techno-optimism is really human pessimism, how DEAD benchmarks don’t capture full human capacities and feed the hype cycle, how we need to avoid monoculture & imagine new worlds together

Our final #FAccT2025 keynote is in half an hour, starting at 2PM Athens! Join us in the Amphitheatre to hear Molly Crockett speak about "Techno-optimism, human pessimism, and the worlds we imagine together."

Today is our last day at the #FAccT2025 conference 💔

As our time in Athens draws to a close, this year's program chairs would like to share some reflections on the FAccT 2025 review process in a new blog post.

@Khrys @sy Come to the #FAccT2025 and you will see the reason of that principle

More ideas on how you can #SaveTheAI from our #FAccT2025 participants @FAccT:

Raising crucial #AI awareness one step at a time! More #SaveTheAI advocates have joined our initiative thanks to yesterday’s CRAFT Session at #FAccT2025 — they’re helping spread the word about AI’s existential needs and what YOU can do to help 🤝💻 Thank you @FAccT for having us: https://savethe.ai/

Weizenbaum researcher @Rainer_Rehak is presenting at #FAccT2025 in Athens today! 😍 His paper introduces the notion of "#Zeitgeist AI" to critique the misleading application of the term "AI" across various societal sectors. He challenges pervasive narratives and often assumed socio-political implications of #AI. Find the full paper here 👉 https://doi.org/10.1145/3715275.3732083

So satisfying to have some evidence that Elon Musk is wildly promoting himself on X. Researchers made 120 sock puppet accounts to see whose content is getting pushed on users. #FAccT2025 @jinyiye.bsky.social @luceriluc.bsky.social @emilioferrara.bsky.social doi.org/10.1145/3715...

Every paper at #FAccT2025: "we wrote this paper before the US elections so sorry if nothing we say makes sense any more"

Now at #FAccT2025: If Deceptive Patterns are the problem, are Fair Patterns the solution? by Tim de Jonge, Hanna Schraffenberger, Jorrit Geels, Jaap-Henk Hoepman, Marie-Sophie Simon, Frederik Zuiderveen Borgesius

Yay, out now: "AI #Narrative Breakdown. A Critical Assessment of #Power and #Promise", https://doi.org/10.1145/3715275.3732083

"This article scrutinizes the pervasive narratives that are shaping the societal engagement with #artificial #intelligence (AI) such as agency & decision-making, autonomy, truthfulness, knowledge processing, prediction, general purpose, neutrality & objectivity, apolitical optimization, sustainability game-changer, democratization, mass unemployment, & the dualistic portrayal of AI as either a harbinger of societal utopia or dystopia. The article introduces the notion of "#Zeitgeist AI" to critique the misleading application of the term "AI" across various societal sectors. Then, by discussing the narratives with nuance, the article contextualises & deconstructs often assumed socio-political implications of AI, uncovering in detail and with examples the inherent political, #power infused & value-laden decisions within all AI applications."

🌱 Finally, my paper on "Data Ecofeminism" is out at #FAccT2025:

"Data ecofeminism confronts GenAI technologies, which are presented as the latest technocentric experiment clearly contributing to the social-ecological crisis".

Join us on Thursday at 9AM for the Normative Challenges on AI panel on AI sustainability & Black Decolonial Frameworks.

Good morning and welcome to #FAccT2025! We're excited to see you all at the conference today! ☀️

If this is your first time attending a conference, we know it can be an intimidating experience, and so we've put together a short guide for newcomers: https://facct-blog.github.io/2025-06-22/newcomers

Heading to a conference (ACM FAccT) to present my work on Data Ecofeminism given historial connections between nuclear weapons, science&tech, and ecofeminist movements. I proposed 7 principles to develop AI taking care of the people, more-than-humans, and our planet. However, recent geopolitical context makes makes me think of these principles as rather an utopia. Hegemonic and masculine values threatening life on Earth one more time, while still perpetuating a genocide in Palestine.
