Background

The primary goal of this workshop is to bridge disciplinary boundaries between various fields, included but not limited to AI, HRI, and HCI, in order to gather a multi-perspective view on the topic of Communication in Human-AI Interaction. In particular, we are interested in exploring the core characteristics of AI communicators and human-AI communication, exchanging research methods, and fostering long-term collaboration between practitioners of different fields.
As the study of communication in human-AI interaction is by essence a multidisciplinary approach, we aim for this workshop to be a multidisciplinary platform where researchers can learn to work together and pave the way to impacting research. We also wish to use this opportunity to draw a tentative disciplinary map of the topic of Communication in Human-AI Interaction, describing different perspectives, research directions, methods, and how these perspectives can be related to one another within the research area as a whole.

The morning will focus on networking. First participants will introduce themselves, and participants who have a position paper accepted will present it in a round of lightning talks. After the keynote and the coffee break, we will organize a poster session for participant to discover each-others research. The afternoon will be organized as a World Café where participants will reflect on topics related to Communication in Human-AI Interaction. Depending on the number of participants, we will hold between three and five rounds of discussion.
