Diversity-aware Hybrid human artificial intelligence

June 26, 2023 – June 27, 2023

The increase in social media and Internet users’ exposure to diversity has not come with new instruments and skills to deal with it, despite the invariable impact that diversity has on human lives. This workshop — which will take place within the 2nd International Conference on Hybrid Human Artificial Intelligence (HHAI 2023) on June 26-27 — seeks to promote richer and deeper social interactions by enabling the Internet of Us, a Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence online platform, where human social relations are mediated and empowered by diversity-aware Artificial Intelligence. Read the WeNet manifesto here.

The workshop welcomes contributions across disciplines, in the form of papers connected either to the workshop’s theme and topics, or to the shared data-analysis task (see the call for contributions).

Main theme and topics

The focus of this workshop is how to improve upon the limitations of existing systems by empowering richer and deeper social interactions through diversity-aware Artificial Intelligence. The vision is that of enabling a Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence online platform (‘The Internet of Us’), which will be robust to the many forms of diversity and to the fact that most of them will be unexpected and unknown. It is a move from a network of computers, which in turn may be connected to people, to a hybrid network of people and AI systems, where the interactions are mediated and empowered by AI systems. In the same way the Internet connects computers by abstracting over their diversity via the creation of a common communication layer, the goal of the envisioned platform is to connect people and augment their social interactions, by creating a common human-level communication layer above their diversity, towards a better and more inclusive society.

Any topic relating to the general theme of the workshop is welcome. The following image  is an indicative, and non-exhaustive breakdown of the workshop and contributions themes:

Contributions are expected to be highly interdisciplinary, with a focus on human involvement and on how to develop meaningful paradigms of AI-enabled human-human interactions, human-AI interactions, human-centered AI-AI interactions. A non-exhaustive list of relevant disciplines and subdisciplines is: Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, Ethics, HCI, Knowledge Representation, Machine Learning, Ontologies, Privacy, Psychology, Social Computing, Social Psychology, Social Sciences.

The “Empirical Studies on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (EHHAI)” session

 A special session will be dedicated to papers describing the results of the empirical analysis of data about human behaviour provided by the workshop organisers. For details see: Visit the call for contributions page for details on how to participate.

Programme

The programme of the workshop will feature invited talks, a panel and discussion on the accepted submitted research papers. The complete agenda will be available in due time.

Submissions

All papers must be at most 4 pages (excluding references). All submissions should adhere to the IOS formatting guidelines (https://www.iospress.com/book-article-instructions). Papers should be written in English.

For submission, EasyChair must be used – Please submit here.

Important dates

  • Workshop papers submission: May 15, 2023 
  • Workshop papers notification: May 31, 2023 
  • Workshop dates: 26-27 June 2023

Publication of accepted research

All accepted papers will be published in the CEUR workshop proceedings (confirmation pending from HHAI). Extended versions of selected papers will also be invited to a special issue of AI Communications, The European Journal on AI, which will revolve around the same theme as the workshop. For more details on the special issue, please visit the dedicated page.
