Q. The ACM LaTeX style files suggest using 1 column for submission. Do we need to submit the paper in 1 column or 2 column format?

Please use the 2 column format for submission. 

Q. Will AIES consider (extended versions of) papers that are under review at FAccT?

No. The AIES submission policy does not allow for submission of work that is substantively similar to a submission to another conference with an ongoing review process. 

Q. When should we specify disclosures and acknowledgments?

In order to maintain double-blindness through the review process, please do not include disclosures or acknowledgments in the paper at the time of submission. We will send instructions to authors of papers that are accepted about how to include disclosures and acknowledgments in the final camera-ready version.
