The concepts of truth and bias are central to our understanding of cognition, decision-making, and societal structures. This workshop explores the dynamic interplay between truths—objective or perceived—and biases, which shape how we interpret, process, and act upon information.

Bringing together experts from cognitive science, psychology, criminology, justice studies, artificial intelligence, and related disciplines, the event delves into critical questions:
- How do cognitive biases influence human behavior and perceptions of truth?
- What role do biases play in the development and deployment of AI systems?
- How can justice systems address human and algorithmic biases to ensure fairness?

Through interdisciplinary discussions and presentations of cutting-edge research, this workshop aims to deepen our understanding of the emergence and impact of biases, how they distort truths, and the interventions needed to mitigate their effects. By tackling these questions, the event aspires to advance theoretical frameworks and develop practical solutions for navigating the complex interactions between truths and biases in human cognition and artificial intelligence.
