The AFCP workshop encourages rigorous discussions among participants from all communities interested in topics of fairness, causality and privacy.

The workshop will include two tracks: a Paper track and an Extended Abstract track.

The Papers track serves to highlight novel contributions that will be presented during the workshop as contributed talks and at the poster session. At the discretion of authors, accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.

The Extended Abstract track welcome early unfinished work that would benefit from feedback from the concentration of experts at the workshop. Accepted submissions will be presented as posters.
