Call for Papers: Workshop on Trust, Autonomy, and Accountability in PKG-based Agentic AI (TAAPAAI 2026)

Motivation

The rise of Agentic AI—systems capable of autonomous reasoning and acting on behalf of users—marks a transformative moment in artificial intelligence. When powered by Personal Knowledge Graphs (PKGs), these agents can deliver highly personalized, context-aware services. Yet, this autonomy introduces profound challenges: How do we ensure trustworthiness? Who is accountable for decisions made by AI agents? How do we balance autonomy with human oversight?Addressing these questions is critical for building AI systems that are not only intelligent but also responsible, transparent, and aligned with human values. This workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to tackle these issues head-on and shape the future of PKG-based Agentic AI.

Topics of Interest

We invite submissions addressing one or more of the following themes (non-exhaustive list):

• Trust and transparency in PKG-based agentic systems
• Accountability frameworks for autonomous agents
• Ethical, compliance and legal considerations in personalized AI
• PKG-driven reasoning and decision-making for personal agents
• Explainability and interpretability in agentic AI
• Human-agent collaboration and oversight
• Security, privacy, and data governance in PKGs
• Evaluation metrics for trust and autonomy in AI agents
