Dear all,
This workshop aims to explore the interdisciplinary nature of AI Safety, focusing on its socio-technical, ethical, and legal implications. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from various fields to encourage diverse approaches to designing, deploying, and regulating AI systems that prioritize safety and align with societal values. In line with the HHAI conference goals, the workshop will examine the intersections of AI Safety and HHAI, particularly focusing on AI systems designed to complement human abilities. Key discussions will include technical robustness, governance frameworks, ethical considerations, and human-AI collaboration, addressing challenges in sectors like healthcare, finance, transportation, and governance.
The workshop will cover both theoretical and practical perspectives on AI Safety, contextualized within the field of HHAI, including topics such as, but not limited to:
Technical robustness of AI systems working alongside humans
Governance and regulatory frameworks for hybrid human-AI systems
Ethical considerations in the design of AI systems that interact with people
Trust, acceptance, and societal implications of AI technologies in high-stakes domains
Transparency, fairness, and accountability architectures in human-AI collaboration
Challenges in enforcing safety standards across jurisdictions and technologies
