Call for Paper - AAAI 2024 Spring Symposium “Bi-directionality in Human-AI Collaborative Systems” (Stanford University, March 25-27, 2024)
Lorenzo Corti
Dear colleagues,
The AAAI 2024 Spring Symposium “Bi-directionality in Human-AI Collaborative Systems” (Stanford University, March 25-27, 2024) is inviting papers that address the challenges in creating synergistic human and AI-based autonomous system-of-systems.
Symposium website: https://sites.google.com/view/bidirectionality2024
Theme: Recent advances in generative AI techniques such as Large Language Models have exacerbated the growing concerns associated with AI such as the risk, trust, and safety from the use of machines/AI in open situations. These concerns present major hurdles in the development of verified and validated engineered systems involving bi-directional pathways across the human-machine barrier; bi-directionality in this context means understanding the design and operational consequences of the human on the agent, and vice-versa. Current discussions on human-AI interactions are fragmented, focusing either on the impact of AI on human stakeholders (and relevant human factors considerations), or potential ways of involving humans in computational interventions (e.g., data annotation, behavior interpretation). We believe the challenges associated with humans-AI collaborative systems cannot be adequately addressed if the underlying challenges associated with bi-directionality are not taken into consideration.
Topics: We are interested in the concepts associated with bi-directionality including, but not limited to: 1. Explainability; 2. Risk, trust, and safety; 3. Joint awareness; 4. Shared mental models; 5. Systems design & engineering; 6. Assurance; 7. Test and evaluation.
Submission Requirements
Papers submitted either as a research paper of up to 8 pages or an extended abstract (1-2 pages). Authors should follow the formatting guidelines in the AAAI-24 Author Kit.
Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bhaics2024
Accepted papers will be published as part of the “Proceedings of the AAAI Symposium Series” by the AAAI Library. Authors can choose their papers to be not included in the proceedings.
Opportunities: 1. Revised papers for a book (Elsevier) post symposium; 2. We plan a follow-up conference with AHFE and another book (Taylor and Francis); 3. A call with Entropy is open (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy/special_issues/Human_Machine_Teams).
