Yeah, there's a new pope but did you know there's also a new #NLP workshop at @colmweb.org? The First Workshop on Optimal Reliance and Accountability in Interactions with Generative LMs (ORIGen) will be held October 10 at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal!

To discuss these problems, we will host the first ORIGen workshop at @colmweb.org! Submissions welcome from NLP, HCI, CogSci, and anything human-centered, due June 20 :)
