Recent advances in AI have increased the expectations for users when it comes to information access systems. With powerful LLMs, users engage with information using natural language instead of artificial query languages. At the same time, this raises not only technical but also ethical concerns, such as sustainability, reliability, and privacy. NLDB has established itself as a venue to discuss precisely the intersection of natural language and information systems. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute.
