HCAI4U 2023: First Workshop on User Perspectives in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence Turin, Italy, September 20, 2023

HCAI4U Workshop @ CHItaly 2023

• Website: https://sites.google.com/view/hcai4u2023

The emerging concept of Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) involves amplifying, augmentation, empowering and enhancing individuals. HCAI aims to ensure that AI systems operate transparently, deliver fair and equitable outcomes, and respect privacy while preserving human control. This approach involves multiple stakeholders, such as researchers, developers, business leaders, policymakers, and users, who are affected in various ways by implementing and evaluating AI systems.

The primary focus of the First Workshop on User Perspectives in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence (HCAI4U) is to examine the potential positive and negative impacts of automated decision-making systems on end-users and how human-centred aspects of reliability, safety, and trustworthiness influence their interaction with AI. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas within the community on advances in designing and implementing trustworthy, fair and privacy-preserving systems, as well as explainable user interfaces, with a specific focus on the users' perception in real-world scenarios rather than solely on the algorithmic and model performance.HCAI4U aims to foster cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary discussions between experts from various research fields, such as computer science, psychology, sociology, law, medicine, business, etc., to discuss problems and synergies in this exciting research topic.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Design and evaluation of reliable, safe and trustworthy systems;
• Empirical studies and evaluation of HCAI systems in real-world scenarios;
• Human-in-the-loop for HCAI systems;* Potential threats for users in HCAI systems;
• Bias detection and mitigation strategies in real-world scenarios;
• Novel approaches to Human-Computer Interaction in HCAI systems;
• Innovative methods for designing HCAI systems;
• Novel metrics for HCAI systems;* Privacy-preserving systems;
• User-adaptive explainable systems;
• Explainable user interfaces;
• Adaptive and personalised user interfaces;
• Transparent user profiling approaches.

Submission Guidelines

We encourage the submission of contributions investigating potential positive and negative impacts of automated decision-making systems on the actual end-users of the same and how the interaction is being influenced by the human-centred aspects of reliability, safety, trustworthiness and fairness.

We solicit the submission of four types of contributions:

• Full papers (max. 12 pages + references) should describe theoretical and practical aspects in detail, present reproducible experiments, and provide a comparison with state-of-the-art approaches.

• Short papers (max. 6 pages + references) can describe ongoing research, resources and demonstrations.

• Position papers (max. 6 pages + references) should introduce open challenges and future research directions concerning the workshop topics or discuss practice experiences of a group in these fields.

• Discussion papers (max. 4 pages + references) can include a summary of already-published works in influential venues (either conferences or journals), highlighting the aspect related to the workshop topics that are valuable for a prolific presentation and discussion.

Papers should be formatted in the CEUR-WS single-column format, following the official templates:

• LaTeX/Word template;

• Overleaf template.

Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcai4u2023

Submitted papers must not be under review in any other conference, workshop or journal at the time of submission.

Full, short and position papers will go through a double-blind peer-review process, while discussion papers will follow a single-blind process (since they present works that have already been published, authors should clearly point to the related papers).

All papers will be evaluated by at least two program committee members based on their originality, technical quality, clarity and relevance to the workshop.

Accepted papers will be published as a specific open-access CEUR Workshop Proceedings volume.
