Call for Participation in the Association in Computational Linguistics (ACL) Ethics Survey The ACL has recently assembled an ethics committee to coordinate the efforts for a unified approach to ethics in computational linguistics and natural language processing research. As part of this effort, we are writing to urge you to participate in this survey so that we may better understand the community perspective on AI and NLP ethics. We hope that you will take five minutes of your time to fill in this short survey which contains only seven short questions, where you can optionally elaborate your response in detail. Please visit the anonymous survey here: https://framaforms.org/acl-ethics-committee-initial-survey-163947332 <https://framaforms.org/acl-ethics-committee-initial-survey-1639473328>8 We urge you to participate so that our membership can get a sense of the current, global perspective about the role of ethics in NLP research. We especially encourage responses from possibly underrepresented researchers and students and other interested parties. The survey closes on February 2, 2022. We hope to compile the results from the survey and disclose the analyzed results to the ACL membership by the end of February. Thank you for your participation! Please spread the word of the survey. Sincerely, The ACL Ethics Committee <acl-ethics-chairs@inria.fr> Lucia Benotti, Mark Drezde, Karën Fort, Pascale Fung, Dirk Hovy, Min-Yen Kan, Jin Dong Kim, Malvina Nissim and Yulia Tsvetkov
