We read with great interest about recent advances in AI medical diagnostic systems, self-driving cars, ability of AI technology to automate many aspects of business decisions like loan approvals, hiring, policing etc. However, AI systems may produce errors, can exhibit overt or subtle bias, may be sensitive to noise in the data, and often lack technical and judicial transparency and explainability. These shortcomings are raising many ethical and policy concerns not only in technical and academic communities, but also among policymakers and general public, and will inevitably impede wider adoption of AI in society.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">The problems related to Ethical AI are complex and broad and encompass not only technical issues but also legal, political and ethical ones. One of the key components of Ethical AI systems is explainability or transparency, but other issues like detecting bias, ability to control the outcomes, ability to objectively audit AI systems for ethics are also critical for successful applications and adoption of AI in society. Consequently, explainable and Ethical AI are very current and popular topics in various communities. Our proposed workshop aims to address technical aspects of explainable and ethical AI in general, and include related applications and case studies with the aim to address this very important problems from a broad technical perspective. </span><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">The topics comprise but are not limited to</span></b><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify;
