Abstract

Recommender systems are among the most widely used applications of artificial intelligence. Because of their widespread use, it is important that practitioners and researchers think about the impact they may have on users, society, and other stakeholders. To that effect, the NORMalize workshop seeks to introduce normative thinking, to consider the norms and values that underpin recommender systems in the recommender systems community. The objective of NORMalize is to bring together a growing community of researchers and practitioners across disciplines who want to think about the norms and values that should be considered in the design and evaluation of recommender systems, and further educate them on how to reflect on, prioritise, and operationalise such norms and values. This document is a report on the first workshop, co-located with ACM RecSys'23 in Singapore.
