Human-AI collaboration spans several domains, requiring us to rethink design principles to accommodate user-centred AI. This demands robust theoretical foundations, innovative methodologies, and practical solutions to ensure AI can act as a reliable, transparent, and ethical partner to human users. The targets of this symposium lie at the intersection of human cognition, ethical considerations, and technological advancement. The symposium emphasizes explainable AI, human-in-the-loop approaches, and immersive environments like virtual and augmented reality to enhance interpretability and collaboration in AI systems. Applications include the fields of healthcare, education and creative industries, where AI-driven insights are increasingly impactful but must be used judiciously and responsibly.
This symposium aims to foster practical insights and skills for building ethical, effective, and user-centred AI systems. The focus is on methods for harnessing the diversity of human cognitive abilities and varied AI models to create more adaptable and effective hybrid intelligent systems. The symposium addresses the challenges of integrating diverse human inputs and perspectives while discussing ethical considerations and strategies for designing inclusive, user-centred AI solutions. Attendees will benefit from discussions, hands-on workshops and interdisciplinary exchanges, supporting the development of AI functions to enhance human expertise and decision-making across different sectors.
