Norms in Language-Based Human-AI Interaction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagiellonian University, Krak\u00f3w, 5 June 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference \u201eNorms in Language-Based Human-AI Interaction” will take place on 5 June 2026 at the Faculty of Law of the Jagiellonian University in Krak\u00f3w and will explore the ethical, psychological, linguistic, and legal implications of communicating with increasingly human-like AI systems. The discussions will address how future AI platforms should be designed in order to support trustworthy, transparent, and socially responsible communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off conference<\/strong> on<\/strong> ‘AI Assertion<\/strong>‘<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

University of Graz, Austria, June 22-23, 2025. The program can be accessed here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to announce an interdisciplinary conference examining the nature of AI assertion<\/strong> through the perspectives of philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics<\/strong>, and human-computer interaction<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will examine when and how AI systems can be said to make assertions, and how these compare to human speech acts. It will explore whether existing conversational norms apply to AI, or whether new standards are needed. We will address questions of responsibility and accountability in AI-mediated communication, especially in cases of misunderstanding or deception. Finally, the conference will consider how concepts like trust<\/strong> and normativity<\/strong> operate in human-AI interaction, and whether trust in AI language use is meaningful or misplaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By bringing together theoretical and empirical approaches, the event aims to clarify how our communicative norms are evolving in response to artificial interlocutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
