Interdisciplinary Workshop on Human/AI Interaction

This workshop combines perspectives from different research areas focusing on Human/AI Interaction and more particularly in the areas of functionality, governance and regulation, security, resilience, trust and verifiability of autonomous AI systems. We are interested in questions such as the following:

• What types of design of autonomous AI systems allow for trustworthy frameworks for responsibility and accountability?
• How can we increase user confidence that the use of autonomous AI systems will be disruption free and safe from external physical/cyber threats?
• In what ways can we increase the verifiability of autonomous AI e.g. what sort of techniques or methods need to be in place and what challenges do we face?

The aim of the 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.
