Abstract

While existing work has discussed ethics and fairness in relation to data generally, and a small number of papers have raised the same issues within games specifically, work on addressing fairness and ethical issues with game data collection and usage is still rare. With game AI, LLM integration, data analytics, and machine learning on the rise, a new dimension to the responsible and ethical treatment of data opens up, comprising factors unique to video games. Our goal for this workshop is, thus, to bring together researchers and professionals working in the spaces of game human–computer interaction (HCI), game data and AI, and ethics in both games and AI to discuss and identify interdisciplinary research opportunities and devise potential solutions to existing problems.
