Conferences are usually considered more prestigious than journals in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and AI ethics. The top two conferences in HCI are CHI and CSCW. FAccT and AIES are widely recognized as leading conferences in AI ethics. In the ICTD (Information and Communication Technologies and Development) domain, the top conferences are ICTD and COMPASS.​
