SemSys at AAAI25

In February 2025, Laura Waltersdorfer had attended the 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2025) in Philadelphia, USA. She participated in the AIGov workshop with the paper, “Provenance Question-based AI Transparency and Accountable AI Governance” co-authored with Dominique Hausler and Tanja Auge.

The paper discusses the following aspects:

– Provenance question support framework – showing a conceptual framework that uses an AI system workflow description and a provenance questionbank as input to support technical AI governance.

– Application scenario and example questions – An example scenario from explainable AI is modeled in Prov-O to showcase the approach and analyse example questions on a linguistic and provenance level.

 The paper is available here.

Beyond presenting this work, there were multiple highlights such as inspiring keynotes, “Lunch with a Fellow”, very interesting sessions (e.g. “AI Incidents and Best Practices”) or the Women’s Mentoring Lunch.
