CfP: FLAIRS-39 Track on Human-AI Collaboration and Augmented Intelligence (HAICAI)

[Christopher MacLellan]

Dear colleagues,

We invite submissions to the FLAIRS-39 Special Track on Human-AI Collaboration and Augmented Intelligence (HAICAI), to be held 17-20 May 2026 in Marco Island, Florida

This special track on Human-AI Collaboration and Augmented Intelligence (https://sites.google.com/view/haicai/home) invites research toward amplifying human potential through agentic action or timely information provided to the user. Papers that either explore novel instantiations of AI collaboration or augmented intelligence are appropriate. Further, papers that explore fundamental questions regarding HAICAI are encouraged. Highest priority will be given to papers that explore the intersection of natural language and HAICAI.

Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to):

• Collaborative Tools & Systems: Development of NLP-driven tools that foster seamless human-AI collaboration and productivity enhancement
• Evaluation of Models: Evaluation of models and their relevant capabilities for human-collaboration
• Understanding Uncertainty: Investigating the impact of, and strategies for, managing uncertainty in collaborative interactions human-AI Communication: Foundational research on AI systems understanding and supporting human directions and preferences
• Domain Applications: Integration of NLP within healthcare, education, and business contexts to extend human knowledge
• Agentic Systems: Applications showcasing collaborative AI agents improving desired outcomes
• Evaluation Studies: Human-centered research evaluating the effectiveness of AI-assisted workflows, productivity tools, and decision-support systems
• Ethical Considerations: Examining challenges in creating transparent, trustworthy AI systems that empower rather than replace human capabilities
• Fundamental Questions: Investigation of the fundamental problems associated with human-AI collaboration and efforts to augment human intelligence through AI.

The track is accepting three types of paper submissions:

• Full papers (up to 6 pages)
• Short papers (up to 4 pages)
• Posters (up to 2 pages)

For full details on the track and how to submit see the track website: https://sites.google.com/view/haicai/home

We look forward to your contributions!
