Workshop description
The workshop on Embracing Human-aware AI in Industry 5.0” is designed to delve into the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in the industrial sector, placing emphasis on how AI should reflect and respond to human activities and demands. As industries worldwide transition into the realms of Industry 5.0, integrating AI technologies becomes not just an asset but a necessity. This shift heralds unprecedented opportunities and challenges, where the interplay between human workers and advanced AI systems takes centre stage. Our workshop aims to explore this critical intersection, focusing on how AI should be designed, implemented, validated and managed in a human-aware way. Human-aware AI calls for novel solutions that allow humans and machines to collaborate seamlessly within the complexities of the real world, driving sustainability, resiliency, and benefits to people and society. In business branches like commerce, the need for human-aware AI is already taken for granted. Industry, including product design, manufacturing, aftermarket, maintenance and all forms of industrial engineering, seems to lag behind since the focus for many years has been pure automation. By delving into these topics with a human-aware lens, this workshop will significantly contribute to the ECAI conference, offering scientific discussions that align well with its themes and goals.

The workshop invites original work in the area and will feature a series of presentations from the contributing participants, two keynote talks, open discussions, and interactive panel sessions led by experts in the field of AI for Industry 5.0. We solicit submissions on a wide array of topics, ranging from ethical considerations and human-AI collaboration to AI-driven process optimisation, decision support systems, integration of domain and expert knowledge in AI algorithms and the future of work on the industrial floor. The workshop intends to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue on how AI can be human-aware and effectively integrated into various industrial processes by bringing together academicians, industry professionals, and AI practitioners. Particular emphasis will be placed on practical applications, challenges, and the latest research findings in the field. Our objective is to provide a comprehensive platform for participants to gain insights into the current trends, potential benefits, and challenges associated with the deployment of AI in the industry in collaboration with and supporting (not replacing) humans – even on a cognitive level. The workshop is expected to spark innovative ideas, encourage collaborations, and contribute significantly to advancing human-aware AI in the industrial sector. Through this workshop, we aspire to shape the future of the industry where AI not only enhances efficiency and productivity but also aligns seamlessly with human needs and values.
