N.B.: This document is authored expressly for the purpose of informing the ACL Executive Board as required for the Quarter 1 2025 documentation. It is meant to be read by the ACL Executive Board and is also suitable for the ACL membership and the general public.
The content of this page is work in progress as of March 9, 2026.
Overview
The purview of the ACL Ethics Committee (AEC) is to define a set of guidelines and processes for dealing with ethical concerns, coordinate with the *ACL event ethics chairs on ethical reviewing, and coordinate the ethics resources (Source: ACLWeb).
Our committee is structured with three subcommittees:
Originally, there was a fourth Committee Procedure subcommittee, but because we have not made much progress, we have dissolved this subcommittee and may choose to re-enact it when needed. We discuss each of the three committees' progress, after first discussing changes in leadership.
Changes in Leadership and Membership Composition
We would like to put on the record thanks to our at-large committee members and past co-chairs from the previous term. As the terms of the previous committee members came to an end, new members were invited to join. This year, the first meeting of the committee was held on Wednesday, January 27, 2026. In selecting the new members, we carefully considered geographic and gender diversity, as well as outstanding expertise in ethics in NLP.
- Monojit Choudhury – monojit.choudhury@mbzuai.ac.ae (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), Abu Dhabi)
New chairs in 2025:
- Zhijing Jin – jinzhi@ethz.ch (University of Toronto, Canada)
- Aurélie Névéol – aurelie.neveol@lisn.fr (LISN, Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, France)
As per our ratified convention, the meetings are held every last Wednesday of the month, but rotating 8 hours in time of meeting, so as not to overly (dis)advantage any member in any particular timezone.
Ethics Tutorial, Education and Outreach
- update of the ACL ethics committee website with ethics tutorial material from the [ACL 2025 material]
