CHAIR 2023: Interdisciplinary Workshop on Human/AI Interaction organised by the Department of Computer Science, University of Nottingham, Horizon, University of Nottingham and the Department of Philosophy, University of Nottingham
Link to join this event online via MS Teams
The aim of the CHAIR workshop is to contribute to network building and create an infrastructure to kick-start new partnerships and research collaborations between the different disciplines working on the field of Human/AI Interaction e.g. Computer Science, Law, Philosophy, Psychology, Engineering, Neuroscience, Sociology, Anthropology etc.
This workshop combines perspectives from different research areas focusing on Human/AI Interaction and more particularly in the areas of emotion and empathy, security, vulnerability, trust and responsibility relating to AI systems. We are interested in abroad range of questions related to Human/AI interaction such as the following:
· What emotions are generated when using non-invasive or invasive AI applications e.g Brain Computer Interfaces and how should these be regulated?
· What challenges do we face in our attempt to widen the use of AI systems by the wider public whilst at the same time minimising the lack of transparency involved in several areas e.g. machine learning, data mining etc.?
· How can we increase user confidence that the use of AI systems will be safe from external physical/cyber threats or that it will not render users vulnerable to algorithmic bias?
· How can we improve legal and regulatory frameworks to increase trust and avoid harms in the use of AI systems and who is responsible for alleviating these harms?
· How can we facilitate knowledge exchange across disciplinary boundaries to bring about a paradigm change in scientific discovery and research methods in this area?
