AAAI 2025 Workshop on

Preventing and Detecting LLM Misinformation (PDLM)


March 3, 2025 (Afternoon)
Philadelphia, PA, USA

The workshop will be held in a hybrid format.




Overview

As large language models (LLMs) become more sophisticated and pervasive, the risk of misinformation they generate poses significant challenges. This workshop aims to address the specific issues related to misinformation produced by LLMs, focusing on both prevention and detection strategies.

The widespread use of LLMs makes addressing misinformation they generate more urgent than ever. As these models become more advanced, they can produce text that seems credible but may contain false information, impacting areas like healthcare, finance, and public policy.

This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to foster collaboration, share insights, and inspire new research directions in the responsible development and deployment of LLM technologies. By focusing on these key issues, we aim to mitigate the harm caused by LLM-generated misinformation across various domains.

Call for Papers

We invite papers that focus on various aspects of mitigating misinformation generated by LLMs. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Fact-based alignment techniques for LLMs
  • Editing and improving LLM knowledge for enhanced factuality
  • Developing responsible deployment strategies for LLMs
  • Integrating fact-checking and verification methods with LLMs
  • Hallucination detection and mitigation in LLMs
  • Watermarking techniques for identifying LLM-generated text
  • AI-generated text detection methods
  • Fake news detection using LLMs
  • Developing benchmarks and evaluation metrics for LLM-generated misinformation
  • Evaluating the impact of LLM-generated misinformation on society
  • Multimodal misinformation detection and mitigation
  • Cross-lingual and multilingual misinformation challenges and solutions
  • Collaborative human-AI approaches to combat misinformation
  • Ethical considerations in mitigating LLM-generated misinformation
