Reports of the Workshops Held at the 2023 International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media

The Workshop Program of the Association of the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's 17th Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM-23) was held in Limassol, Cyprus from June 5-8. There were six workshops in the program: Disrupt, Ally, Resist, Embrace (DARE): Action Items for Computational Social Scientists in a Changing World, Images in Online Political Communication (PhoMemes 2023), Data for the Wellbeing of Most Vulnerable, Novel Evaluation Approaches for Text Classification Systems (NEATCLasS), Mediate 2023: News Media and Computational Journalism, and TrueHealth 2023: Combating Health Misinformation for Social Well-being. In the past decade, many sophisticated AI-powered tools have been developed and released to the scientific community and the public at large. At the same time, the socio-technical platforms that are at the center of our observations have transformed in unanticipated ways. Many of these developments have occurred against a backdrop of political and social polarization, and, public health and macroeconomic crises, which offer multiple lenses to contextualize (or distort) scientific reflexivity.
