Descriptions of the workshops and symposia

WS1: AI Literacy: Finding Common Threads between Education, Design, Policy, and Explainability

Friday April 28, On-site workshop

Webpage: https://sites.gatech.edu/chi2023ailiteracy/

Organizers:

  • Duri Long, Northwestern University, USA
  • Jessica Roberts, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
  • Brian Magerko, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
  • Ken Holstein, Carnegie Mellon, USA
  • Daniella DiPaola, MIT Media Lab, USA
  • Fred Martin, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA

Description: Fostering public AI literacy has been a growing area of interest at CHI for several years, and a substantial community is forming around issues such as teaching children how to build and program AI systems, designing learning experiences to broaden public understanding of AI, developing explainable AI systems, understanding how novices make sense of AI, and exploring the relationship between public policy, ethics, and AI literacy. Previous workshops related to AI literacy have been held at other conferences (e.g., SIGCSE, AAAI) that have been mostly focused on bringing together researchers and educators interested in AI education in K-12 classroom environments, an important subfield of this area. Our workshop seeks to cast a wider net that encompasses both HCI research related to introducing AI in K-12 education and also HCI research that is concerned with issues of AI literacy more broadly, including adult education, interactions with AI in the workplace, understanding how users make sense of and learn about AI systems, research on developing explainable AI (XAI) for non-expert users, and public policy issues related to AI literacy.

WS2: Beyond Prototyping Boards: Future Paradigms for Electronics Toolkits

Sunday April 23, On-site workshop

Webpage: http://electrofab.prototyping.id

Organizers:

  • Andrea Bianchi, KAIST, Korea
  • Steve Hodges, Microsoft Research, United Kingdom
  • David Cuartielles, Malmö University, Sweden
  • Hyunjoo Oh, Georgia Institute of Technology, United States
  • Mannu Lambrichts, Hasselt University, Belgium
  • Anne Roudaut, University of Bristol, United Kingdom

Description: With this workshop, we aim to understand how recent software and hardware trends, from metamaterials to neurally-inspired processors, from printed electronics to reprogrammable digital and analog arrays (FPGAs & FPAAs), and from MicroPython to live-programming might be leveraged in future prototyping software platforms and hardware toolkits, beyond the well-established paradigm of mainstream microcontroller boards. What is the future of electronics prototyping toolkits? How will the requirements and applications of new prototyping toolkits evolve? How will these tools fit in the current ecosystem, and how will they be learned? What are the new opportunities for research and commercialization? This workshop will bring together those working in academia, industry, and beyond, with experience or interest in physical computing, electronic hardware design, software platforms for device prototyping, and digital fabrication of electronics for interactive artifacts. The workshop organizers will foster discussion, facilitate synthesis work, help the exchange of ideas to move the field forward, and build a community at CHI around electronic prototyping tools and toolkits.

  • Sharon Baurley, Royal College of Art, United Kingdom

Description: The emerging developments in multimodal interfaces open opportunities to bring materiality to the digital world as well as to transform the materiality of objects and bodies in the real-world, including the materiality of our own body. What are the current theories, approaches, methods, and tools that emphasize the critical role of materiality to body-based interactions with technology? To explore this, this workshop will focus on five related themes: material enabling expression, material as a catalyst for human action, material enabling reflection and awareness, material enabling transformation and material supporting the design process for the re-creation of the existing and the yet-to-exist. This workshop with technology presentations, panel sessions with experts, and multidisciplinary discussions will: (i) bring together researchers who work on (re)creating sensory properties of materials through technology with those who investigate experiential effects of materials and material-enabled interactions, (ii) discuss methods, opportunities, difficulties in designing materiality and material-enabled interactions, and (iii) form a multidisciplinary community to build synergies and collaborations.

WS4: Data as a Material for Design: Alternative Narratives, Divergent Pathways, and Future Directions

Friday April 28, On-site workshop

Webpage: https://materialfordesign.net/chi2023_workshop/

Organizers:

  • Matthew Lee-Smith, Loughborough University, United Kingdom
  • Jesse Benjamin, University of Twente, Netherlands
  • Audrey Desjardins, University of Washington, USA
  • Mathias Funk, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
  • William Odom, Simon Fraser University, Canada

  • Vasiliki Tsaknaki, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

Description: This one-day workshop will bring together a diverse group of practitioners and researchers within the CHI community to discuss and explore data’s increasing use as a material for design. This workshop encourages the submission of design exemplars, i.e., physical or digital works (in progress), design processes, or provocative or controversial pieces on the topic of data as a design material. If we are to continue to explore what data means as a design material and how we will continue to co-exist with them in our everyday lives through new and exciting ways and means, we must develop new strategies, tactics, tools, and outcomes. By bringing together products, processes, and provocations, this workshop will nurture and extend the continuation of research inquiring into data as a design material in its many forms. Our workshop will be conducted through physical and digital activities before, during, and after the onsite event at CHI 2023.

WS5: Digital Skills for the Creative Practitioner: Supporting Informal Learning of Technologies for Creativity

Friday April 28, On-site workshop

Webpage: https://chi2023digitalskillsforthecreativepractitioner.wordpress.com/

Organizers:

  • Ingi Helgason, Edinburgh Napier University, UK
  • Michael Smyth, Edinburgh Napier University, UK
  • Inge Panneels, Edinburgh Napier University, UK
  • Susan Lechelt, University of Edinburgh, UK
  • Jonas Frich, Aarhus University, Denmark
  • Eric Rawn, University of California, Berkeley, USA
  • Bronnie McCarthy, BBC Research & Development, UK

Description: In many creative disciplines much of the workforce is made up of individual practitioners including freelancers, sole traders and small or micro enterprises. These talented creatives often need to be responsible for their own ongoing learning within challenging and ever-evolving digital and technological domains. Whether their creative practice is primarily analogue or digital, Creativity Support Tools (CSTs) and digital platforms are being adopted for use in many phases of the creative production and dissemination process. By necessity, much of the learning that creatives undertake during the adoption of technologies is self-directed, informal, and often involves peer-to-peer support. This one-day workshop will bring together participants from the HCI, creative and educational communities to discuss and share knowledge of technology learning and skills acquisition for working creatives. The workshop aims to examine ideas, strategies and experiences around supporting digital literacy, competency and confidence.

We aim to bring together a diverse set of experts and stakeholders to jointly discuss the opportunities and challenges at the intersection of public health care provisioning, patient and caretaker empowerment, monitoring provisioning of health care and its quality. This will require AI-supported, conversational decision-making interfaces that adhere to ethical and privacy standards and address issues around agency, control, engagement, motivation, and accessibility. The goal of the workshop is to create a community around intelligent data-driven interfaces and create a road map for their future research.

WS8: Integrating AI in Human-Human Collaborative Ideation

Friday April 28, On-site workshop

Webpage: https://www.joongishin.com/co-ideation-ai/

Organizers:

  • Joongi Shin, Aalto University, Finland
  • Janin Koch, Université Paris-Saclay, France
  • Andrés Lucero, Aalto University, Finland
  • Peter Dalsgaard, Aarhus University, Denmark
  • Wendy E. Mackay, Université Paris-Saclay, France

Description: People can generate more innovative ideas when they collaborate with one another, collectively exploring ideas and exchanging viewpoints. Advancements in artificial intelligence have opened up new opportunities in people’s creative activities where individual users ideate with diverse forms of AI. For instance, AI agents and intelligent tools have been designed as ideation partners that provide inspiration, suggest ideation methods, or generate alternative ideas. However, what AI can bring to collaborative ideation among a group of users has not been fully understood. Compared to ideating with individuals, ideating with multiple users would require understanding users’ social interaction, transforming individual efforts into a group effort, and—in the end—making users satisfied that they collaborated with other group members. This workshop aims to bring together a community of researchers and practitioners to explore the integration of AI in human-human collaborative ideation. The exploration will center around identifying the potential roles of AI as well as the process and form of collaborative ideation, considering what users want to do with AI or humans.

  • Misha Sra, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA
  • (*contributed equally)

Description: As knowledge around bio-digital interaction continues to unfold, there are new opportunities for HCI researchers to integrate biology as a design and computational material. Our motivation for the workshop is to bring together interdisciplinary researchers with interest in exploring the next generation of biological HCI and exploring novel bio-digital interfaces implicating diverse contexts, scales, and stakeholders. The workshop aims to provide a space for interactive discussions, presentations, and brainstorming regarding opportunities and approaches for HCI around bio-digital interfaces. We invite researchers from both academia and industry to submit a short position paper in the following areas: Synthetic Biology, Biological Circuits, Do-It-Yourself Biology (DIYBio), Biomimetic Interfaces, Living Interfaces, Living Artefacts, and Bio-ethics. We will evaluate submissions on fit, ability to stimulate discussion, and contribution to HCI. On our website we have included examples of past work in this area to help inspire and inform position papers. Our website will host a recording of the entire workshop session with accepted papers to support asynchronous viewing for participants who are unable to attend in-person or synchronously.

WS10: Physicalization from Theory to Practice: Exploring Physicalization Design across Domains

Friday April 28, On-site workshop

Webpage: http://dataphys.org/workshops/chi23

Organizers:

  • Kim Sauvé, Lancaster University, United Kingdom
  • Hans Brombacher, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
  • Rosa van Koningsbruggen, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany
  • Annemiek Veldhuis, Simon Fraser University, Canada
  • Steven Houben, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
  • Jason Alexander, University of Bath, United Kingdom

Description: Data physicalizations have been around for centuries, but little is known about how their context influences their design and interaction needs. For example, what does it mean for a physicalization to be designed for sustainability, and how does this differ from a physicalization placed in an office environment? In this workshop, we will explore four domain areas of data physicalization: personal informatics, sustainability, education, and office vitality. We are particularly looking for people working in these exemplary domains, but are also open to applications from other domains. Our goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in using physicalizations to solve real-world problems. Through discussions and hands-on activities, we will explore the needs and challenges of these domains. We invite experts in physicalization and the relevant domains to join us for this one-day workshop.

WS11: Sharing and Experiencing Hardware and Methods to Advance Smell, Taste, and Temperature Interfaces

Sunday April 23, On-site workshop

Webpage: https://smelltastetemperature.com

Organizers:

  • Jas Brooks, University of Chicago, USA
  • Alireza Bahremand, Arizona State University, USA
  • Pedro Lopes, University of Chicago, USA
  • Christy Spackman, Arizona State University, USA
  • Judith Amores, Microsoft Research, USA
  • Hsin-Ni Ho, Kyushu University, Japan
  • Masahiko Inami, University of Tokyo, Japan
  • Simon Niedenthal, Malmö University, Sweden

Description: There has been a monumental push from the CHI community to bring more human senses to interactive devices. This trend is significant because we use all our senses in everyday interactions but only an extremely narrow subset when interacting with computers. This workshop focuses on bringing together researchers to advance some of the most challenging senses to embed into interfaces, but arguably the most exciting: smell, taste, and temperature. To integrate these modalities into interfaces, researchers not only use methods from traditional mechanics or haptics (e.g., pumps, heating pads, etc.) but must also acquire tacit skills and understandings from psychophysics, neuroscience, anatomy, and chemistry (e.g., receptor signaling pathways or food chemistry). This demo-based workshop provides a platform to come together and bring their demonstrations, experiments, and hardware to experience, discuss, and advance the field.

WS12: The Second Workshop on Intelligent and Interactive Writing Assistants

Sunday April 23, On-site workshop

Webpage: https://in2writing.glitch.me/

Organizers:

  • Minsuk Chang, Google, USA
  • John Joon Young Chung, University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, USA
  • Katy Ilonka Gero, Columbia University, USA
  • Ting-Hao ‘Kenneth’ Huang, Pennsylvania State University, USA
  • Dongyeop Kang, University of Minnesota–Twin Cities, USA
  • Mina Lee, Stanford University, USA
  • Vipul Raheja, Grammarly, USA
  • Thiemo Wambsganss, EPFL, Switzerland

Description: In recent years, writing assistants have become increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, particularly large language models. As new use cases and models emerge, we expect the adoption rate to accelerate. In this interdisciplinary workshop, we, as a diverse group of researchers and practitioners interested in writing assistants, will create a taxonomy of writing assistants and discuss their desirable features and potential consequences. We invite writers, educators, researchers, industry practitioners, students, and anyone interested in creating, using, and testing future writing assistant technologies to join the conversation.

WS13: Behavioural Design in Video Games: Ethical, Legal, and Health Impact on Players

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://behaviouraldesign.my.canva.site/chi-2023

Organizers:

  • Max V. Birk, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
  • Simone van der Hof, Leiden University, Netherlands
  • Celia Hodent, Raising Good Gamers, USA
  • Kathrin Gerling, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
  • Antonius J. van Rooij, Trimbos Institute, Netherlands

Description: Videogames use behavioural design strategies, i.e., dark patterns, to increase engagement and drive revenue. These practices affect consumer behaviour, e.g., extended playtime, and subsequently health, e.g., social well-being. HCI approaches such as motivational design or personalization are central to behavioural design strategies. Some approaches, e.g., guild tripping of users, are ethically and legally questionable. In this workshop, we explore the ethical, health, and legal implications of behavioural design strategies. Our workshop aims to integrate interdisciplinary viewpoints, to co-develop a road map to address behavioural design, and collect contemporary perspectives on behavioural design. Participants will take away knowledge from different expert perspectives, concrete steps to address the impact of behavioural design, and a multidisciplinary expert network.

WS14: Behind the Scenes of Automation: Ghostly Care-Work, Maintenance, and Interferences

Friday April 28, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://yanaboeva.xyz/behindthescenesofautomation/

Organizers:

  • Yana Boeva, University of Stuttgart, Germany
  • Arne Berger, Hochschule Anhalt, Germany
  • Andreas Bischof, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany
  • Olivia Doggett, University of Toronto, Canada
  • Hendrik Heuer, University of Bremen, Germany
  • Juliane Jarke, University of Graz, Austria
  • Pat Treusch, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
  • Roger A. Søraa, NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
  • Jasmina Tacheva, Syracuse University, USA
  • Maja-Lee Voigt, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Germany

Description: Industry and media have long represented automation as a harbinger of development and convenience in different areas of life. An anxious prospect to some, automation systems promise “progress” and profitability to others by conjuring corporate computational futures. What remains behind the scenes of these predictions and imaginaries of automation is the invisible human labor of global ghost workers caring for, maintaining, and repairing technologies. Invisible but irreplaceable, computation performed by humans in precarious conditions fills gaps that computer technologies lack skills and sensibility for. In this hybrid workshop, we ask who the “ghosts” are in the machines. The workshop will address the ghostly presence of humans and human labor in automation and its challenges to HCI research and design.

WS15: Bridging Distances for Global Participation: Conducting and Theorizing Participatory Design and Research in Hybrid Contexts

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/urbanai/conducting-hybrid-pd

Organizers:

  • Aale Luusua, University of Oulu, Finland
  • Johanna Ylipulli, Aalto University, Finland
  • Dani K. Raju, Studio Hasi, India
  • Emilia Rönkkö, University of Oulu, Finland

Description: In this workshop, we explore the opportunities of conducting multi-site participatory design (PD) and research through hybrid present–telepresent participatory methods, and share issues, challenges, methods, and empirical examples pertaining to this as a goal. Participatory Design (PD) must increasingly be able to serve various global contexts. A fundamental need has been identified in the PD community to raise previously unheard global voices in design and development work, and to bring various underrepresented stakeholders together. During the world-wide social distancing efforts of 2020–2022, an enormous leap was made seemingly overnight in adopting novel modalities of distance collaboration, as teams and workplaces became forcibly physically disconnected. As we have since moved into a post social distancing world, it is important and timely to seize and further develop the lessons and practices learned from this pandemic-induced forced hybridization of collaboration. This rapid adoption of various synchronous and asynchronous communication methods through collaborative online tools offers opportunities for more dispersed and more diverse PD research teams, settings and processes. This raises new potentialities for novel spaces for participation, bridging global distances and bringing stakeholders of various identities and abilities together for the purposes of conducting multicultural, multi-site PD.

WS16: Bridging HCI and Implementation Science for Innovation Adoption and Public Health Impact

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://www.uwalacrity.org/hci-is-chi2023/

Organizers:

  • Aaron Lyon, University of Washington, United States
  • Sean Munson, University of Washington, United States
  • Madhu Reddy, University of California, Irvine, United States
  • Stephen Schueller, University of California Irvine, United States
  • Elena Agapie, University of California Irvine, United States

  • Gavin Doherty, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
  • Andrea Graham, Northwestern University, United States
  • Kaylee Payne Kruzan, Northwestern University, United States
  • Rachel Kornfield, Northwestern University, United States

Description: Human computer interaction (HCI) and implementation science (IS) each have been applied to improve the adoption and delivery of innovative health interventions, and the two fields have complementary goals, foci, and methods. While the IS community increasingly draws on methods from HCI, there are many unrealized opportunities for HCI to draw from IS and to catalyze bidirectional collaborations. This workshop will explore similarities and differences between fields, with a goal of articulating a research agenda at their intersection.

WS17: Building Credibility, Trust, and Safety on Video-Sharing Platforms

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://safevsp.github.io/

Organizers:

  • Shuo Niu, Clark University, USA
  • Zhicong Lu, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
  • Amy Zhang, University of Washington, USA
  • Jie Cai, Pennsylvania State University, USA
  • Carla Griggio, Aarhus University, Denmark
  • Hendrik Heuer, University of Bremen/ifib, Germany

Description: The participants will choose their interested topic and join one of the breakout groups. Each group will consist of 5-8 participants. During the ~1 hour of breakout room activity, the participants will brainstorm and reflect on more problems in this topic and identify examples of the problem (~30 mins). Then the participants should use the affinity diagram approach to summarize the findings (~30 mins). After that, we will have a 40-minute discussion to present what are the issues identified. After the break, we will start the second round of the discussion. Based on the actual topics identified from stage 1, we will create another three breakout rooms for “coming up with solutions.” The team will be asked to design one or a few design or technology solutions to address the problems.

WS18: Child-Centred AI Design: Definition, Operation, and Considerations

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://ccai2023.org/

Organizers:

  • Ge Wang, University of Oxford, UK
  • Kaiwen Sun, University of Michigan, USA
  • Ayça Atabey, Edinburgh University, UK
  • Kruakae Pothong, LSE/5Rights, UK
  • Grace Lin, MIT, USA
  • Jun Zhao, University of Oxford, UK
  • Jason Yip, University of Washington, USA

Description: AI systems and related algorithms are starting to play a variety of roles in the digital ecosystems of children – being embedded in the connected toys, smart home IoT technologies, apps, and services they interact with on a daily basis. Going forward, AI systems will, in all likelihood, become even more pervasive in children’s applications simply due to their sheer usefulness in creating compelling, adaptive, and personal user experiences. Yet, understanding the ways that AI-driven systems used by children operate, and how AI could be designed to better anticipate and respond to children’s diverse requirements is still a new and emerging area of investigation. Our goals of this workshop are to (1) extend the current critically constructive dialogue around the meaning of child-centred AI design and (2) explore ways to operationalise such child-centred AI design in practice, and finally (3) further expand and foster a community for those who are interested in designing and developing child-centred AI systems.

WS19: Collective Healing to Support Design Futures: Building Community and Exploring Methods

Friday April 28, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://sites.psu.edu/collectivehealing/

Organizers:

  • Catherine Wieczorek, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
  • Heidi Biggs, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
  • Margaret Jack, Syracuse University, USA
  • Laura Forlano, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA
  • Shaowen Bardzell, The Pennsylvania State University, USA

Description: This workshop explores the role of healing ourselves as a key aspect for transformative social change. It brings together social justice and community based work in HCI that engages with healing and joy to expand on current methodologies such as autoethnography, somaesthetics, and embodied design which aim to describe different ways of knowing and describing and living experiences as inputs for design futuring. Our concern of interest is the ways in which all of us have lived through continuous community grief and loss due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and a continued climate crisis; and the resulting symptoms like anxiety, depression, body pain, and scattered focus. We believe that we must acknowledge these experiences and feelings about these events in order to effectively work towards more optimistic futures. This workshop takes the space and time to consider our recent collective traumas and explore how to integrate them into futures that support the development of futures that fit our emotional, ethical, social and physical needs. Our aim is to build a greater understanding of how the CHI community can integrate healing in support of social change.

WS20: Combating Toxicity, Harassment, and Abuse in Online Social Spaces: A Workshop at CHI 2023

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://combatingonlinetoxicity.sites.uu.nl/

Organizers:

  • Regan Mandryk, University of Saskatchewan, Canada
  • Julian Frommel, Utrecht University, Netherlands
  • Nitesh Goyal, Google, USA
  • Guo Freeman, Clemson University, USA
  • Cliff Lampe, University of Michigan, USA
  • Sarah Vieweg, Cash App, USA
  • Yvette Wohn, New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA

Description: Online social spaces (e.g., social media, multiplayer games, social VR) provide much needed connection and belonging—particularly in a context of continued lack of global mobility due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and climate crisis. However, the norms of online social spaces can create environments in which toxic behaviour is normalized, tolerated or even celebrated, and occurs without consequence, leaving its members vulnerable to hate, harassment, and abuse. Although there is significant work on toxicity in the SIGCHI community, approaches and knowledge have typically been siloed by the domain of investigation (e.g., social media, multiplayer games, social VR). We argue that cross-disciplinary efforts will benefit not only the various communities and situations in which abuse occurs, but that bringing together researchers from different backgrounds and specialties will provide a robust and rich understanding of how to tackle online toxicity at scale.

WS21: CUI@CHI: Inclusive Design of CUIs Across Modalities and Mobilities

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop (half-day)

Webpage: https://www.conversationaluserinterfaces.org/workshops/CHI2023/

Organizers:

  • Jaisie Sin, University of Toronto, Canada
  • Heloisa Candello, IBM Research, Brazil
  • Leigh Clark, Bold Insight, United Kingdom
  • Benjamin R. Cowan, University College Dublin, Ireland
  • Minha Lee, Technical University of Eindhoven, Netherlands

  • Robin N. Brewer, University of Michigan, United States
  • Ana Paula Chaves, Northern Arizona University, United States
  • Razan Jaber, Stockholm University, Sweden
  • Amanda Lazar, University of Maryland, United States

Description: Conversational user interfaces (CUIs) are often advertised to be accessible and easy-to-use, yet it is still not known how to make them fully inclusive and acceptable for all of their potential users, especially for those who may stand to benefit the most from CUIs. This workshop is the latest installment of a workshop series on conversational user interfaces and will bring together scholars, practitioners, and researchers to discuss the state of CUI design for marginalized and vulnerable populations, how inclusive design is considered (or neglected) in current CUI design practice, and how to move forward when it comes to designing CUIs for inclusion and diversity. Our aim is to spark vigorous and interesting discussions from multiple perspectives on issues related to inclusive design, marginalization, and the benefits and harms of CUIs. This workshop additionally serves as a platform on which to build a community and determine future directions to tackle important topics of inclusivity and equity in CUI design.

WS22: Designing Technology and Policy Simultaneously: Towards A Research Agenda and New Practice

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: http://designpolicy.one

Organizers:

  • Qian Yang, Cornell University, USA
  • Richmond Wong, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
  • Thomas Gilbert, Cornell Tech, USA
  • Margaret Hagan, Stanford University
  • Steven Jackson, Cornell University, USA
  • Sabine Junginger, The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland
  • John Zimmerman, Carnegie Mellon University, USA

Description: Accounting for technologies’ unintended consequences—whether they are misinformation on social media or issues of sustainability and social justice—increasingly requires HCI to consider technology design at a societal-level scale. At this scale, public and corporate policies play a critical role in shaping technologies and user behaviors. However, the research and practices around tech and policy design have largely been held separate. How can technology design and policies better inform and coordinate with each other in generating safe new technologies? What new solutions might emerge when HCI practitioners design technology and its policies simultaneously to account for its societal impacts? This workshop addresses these questions. It will 1) identify disciplines and areas of expertise needed for a tighter, more proactive technology-and-policy-design integration, 2) launch a community of researchers, educators, and designers interested in this integration, 3) identify and publish an HCI research and education agenda towards designing technologies and technology policies simultaneously.

Description: The design of civic tech is often confronted with impediments, barriers, and a lack of resources. These and other causes may lead to the discontinuation and even abandonment of initiatives. Since seemingly failed projects are much more difficult to publish as articles, this workshop will provide academics and practitioners with a rare opportunity to exchange experiences and insights on discontinued civic tech initiatives. The goal of the workshop is to develop a better understanding of why some civic tech initiatives fail and ask whether discontinued initiatives may still somehow contribute to social change and the growth of digital civics. A variety of subquestions around discontinued civic tech will be addressed in the workshop, including matters of participation, citizen science, public management, power structures and biases, and communication.

The first half of the workshop will focus on discussions on solidarity, and the next half will focus on mentoring early career researchers. After a short welcome, we will start with a panel discussion introducing the workshop theme, which will guide the rest of the event. Our panel members will discuss global issues and opportunities to express solidarity as a community. We will then request the groups to discuss ideas to express solidarity and critically reflect on designing appropriate technology for these contexts. Finally, we will regroup to share our key insights from the small group. We will spend the last session synthesizing ideas into themes to consider for global solidarity.

WS27: HCI for Climate Change: Imagining Sustainable Futures

  • Nuno Jardim Nunes, ITI / LARSyS Instituto Superior Técnico University of Lisbon, Portugal
  • Robert Soden, University of Toronto, Canada

Description: As the climate crisis is turning into one of the most critical issues of our time, HCI researchers keep reflecting on the role their work can play in reducing the impact of adverse environmental changes. Suggestions have been made to expand Sustainable HCI (SHCI)’s intervention area to policy design to have a larger impact, consider non-human actors’ perspectives to incorporate the value of biodiversity, develop multidisciplinary competencies and work across disciplines to understand climate change, and finally make it understandable to citizens and pave the way for their action. This workshop calls to discuss the different angles from which the problem of climate change has been addressed by the CHI community so far. We believe these different angles have several contact points, and the convergence of these different perspectives would help HCI researchers better imagine sustainable futures.

Description: Technology for promoting reflection can help people understand their emotions and thought patterns, motivating them to take action to adopt healthy behaviors. The uptake and efficacy of these technologies are impacted by many individual and social factors — economic status, culture, faith, etc. — yet prior work has only explored a handful of these influences. During our interactive hybrid workshop, we will discuss the two questions in our workshop. First, what individual and social contexts should HCI researchers consider while promoting reflection? Second, what role can various forms of technology (e.g., just-in-time adaptive interventions, peer-support platforms) play in supporting and augmenting reflective practices? Through our workshop, we hope to bring together a community of multidisciplinary researchers and practitioners who aim to design and develop reflection interventions that are situated within the fabric of users’ individual and social contexts.

WS29: Intervening, Teaming, Delegating: Creating Engaging Automation Experiences

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: http://everyday-automation.tech-experience.at/

Organizers:

  • Peter Froehlich, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Austria
  • Matthias Baldauf, Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland
  • Philippe Palanque, Université Paul Sabatier – Toulouse III, France
  • Virpi Roto, Aalto University, Finland
  • Fabio Paternó, C.N.R.-ISTI, Italy
  • Wendy Ju, Cornell University, USA
  • Manfred Tscheligi, University of Salzburg and AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Austria

Description: Automated systems are becoming common in private, public and professional life. Given their increasing ubiquity and availability to a growing diversity of users, it is important to explore requirements, design principles, and user experience factors across application sectors and scientific disciplines. This workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners active in the field of “Automation Experience”. With the advent of flexible and powerful settings of automation, for example collaboration between teams of humans and robots, the question arises how to make also these accessible to non-automation professionals within their everyday contexts. Based on these considerations, this workshop sets out to investigate novel forms of human engagement with automated technology: (i) monitor and intervene, (ii) team up and cooperate, and (iii) orchestrate and delegate. The objectives of the workshop are to (1) Explore factors of engagement with automation, (2) discuss major challenges of automation engagement, and (3) identify promising future research topics in the form of project ideas and a research agenda.

WS30: Moral Agents for Sustainable Transitions: Ethics, Politics, Design

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Organizers:

  • Matthias Laschke, University of Siegen, Germany
  • Amy Bucher, Lirio, USA
  • Paul Coulton, Lancaster University, UK
  • Marc Hassenzahl, University of Siegen; Germany

  • Dan Lockton, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands
  • Geke Ludden, University of Twente, the Netherlands
  • Sebastian Deterding, Imperial College London

Description: Artificial moral agents – systems that engage in explicit moral reasoning on their own and with users – present a potential new paradigm for behavior and system change for social and environmental sustainability. Moral agents could replace current individualist, prescriptive, inflexible, and opaque interventions with systems that transparently state their values and then openly deliberate and contest these with users, or agents that represent human and non-human stakeholders such as future generations, species, or ecosystems. Indeed, moral agents could mark a genuine new form of more-than-human interactions and human-technology relation, where we relate to artificial systems as a counterpart. To jointly articulate key questions and possible futures around moral agents, this workshop convenes HCI, AI, behaviour change, and critical and speculative design researchers and practitioners.

  • Scott MacLeod, Heriot-Watt University, UK
  • Sara Cooper, PAL Robotics, Spain

Description: Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) are being developed to fulfil a range of roles that support humans. As the complexity and capability of SARs increase, they will be expected to adopt higher degrees of responsibility and execute greater levels of autonomous decision-making. Therefore, it is imperative that the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and more widely the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community seriously consider how SARs communicate about their role and the motivations and intentions behind their decisions. This workshop will address challenges with respect to SAR decision-making, discuss current approaches to these challenges, and develop ideas and strategies for how the wider CHI community should move forward in this area.

WS33: Supporting Social Movements Through HCI and Design

Friday April 28, Hybrid workshop

  • Shamika Klassen, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA
  • Maggie Jack, Syracuse University/UC Irvine, USA
  • Jun Liu, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
  • Priyank Chandra, University of Toronto, Canada

Description: The use of digital technologies in grassroots community organizing has multifaceted implications. It has extended the scope of sharing information and experiences, building solidarities and coordination, and fostering common identities to enable participation and amplify the voice of diverse actors in social movements. However, the rise of surveillance technologies, computational propaganda and internet shutdowns are creating novel barriers to democratic action, particularly affecting the participatory parity of marginalized grassroots groups. This one-day hybrid workshop will invite conversations on the complex interrelation between ICTs and social movements and devise ways to support grassroots movements by bringing together HCI researchers, activists and designers. We invite formal position papers to participate in workshop and encourage participants to ideate and contribute in creating zines that can serve as helpful resource for supporting grassroots movements.

WS34: The EmpathiCH Workshop: Unraveling Empathy-Centric Design

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

  • Thiemo Wambsganss, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland
  • Andrea Mauri, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France
  • Himanshu Verma, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands

Description: EmpathiCH is a workshop focusing on exploring and expanding “Empathy-Centric Design”. It aims to consolidate the existing theoretical and conceptual constructs of empathy from diverse domains to reflect on its temporality, materiality, and the risks related to its instrumentalization. With a mix of author panels, expert discussion, and interactive activities, the workshop will foster collaboration, expand the community, and shape the future directions of empathy in design. Building on the discussions that emerged in the previous edition, the main objective is to form a comprehensive and coherent framework that utilizes empathy as a new dimension of human-factors research and practice.

WS35: The Future of Computational Approaches for Understanding and Adapting User Interfaces

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://sites.google.com/nd.edu/computational-uichi23/

Organizers:

  • Yue Jiang, Aalto University, Finland
  • Yuwen Lu, University of Notre Dame, United States
  • Christof Lutteroth, University of Bath, United Kingdom
  • Toby Jia-Jun Li, University of Notre Dame, United States
  • Jeffrey Nichols, Apple Inc, United States
  • Wolfgang Stuerzlinger, Simon Fraser University, Canada

Description: Building on the success of the first workshop on understanding, generating, and adapting user interfaces at CHI2022, this workshop will advance this research area further by looking at existing results and exploring new research directions. Computational approaches for user interfaces have been used in adapting interfaces for different devices, modalities, and user preferences. Recent work has made significant progress in understanding and adapting user interfaces with traditional constraint/rule-based optimization and machine learning-based data-driven approaches; however, these two approaches remain separate. Combining the two approaches has great potential to advance the area but remains under-explored and challenging. Other contributions, such as datasets for potential applications, novel representations of user interfaces, the analysis of human traces, and models with multi-modalities, will also open up future research options. The proposed workshop seeks to bring together researchers interested in computational approaches for user interfaces to discuss the needs and opportunities for future user interface algorithms, models, and applications.

WS36: The Future of Hybrid Care and Wellbeing in HCI

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop (half-day)

Webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/hybrid-care-wellbeing-chi2023/submit

Organizers:

  • Karthik S. Bhat, Georgia Tech, USA
  • Azra Ismail, Georgia Tech, USA
  • Amanda K. Hall, Microsoft Research, USA
  • Naveena Karusala, Harvard University, USA
  • Helena Mentis, University of Maryland Baltimore County, USA
  • John Vines, University of Edinburgh, UK
  • Neha Kumar, Georgia Tech, USA

Description: This workshop focuses on remote care and wellbeing as we transition into a world increasingly adopting hybrid lifestyles and modes of operation. Care and care work have predominantly been researched in traditionally in-person interpersonal contexts. The burgeoning uptake and incorporation of information and communication technologies towards remote care have created new workflows and resulted in emerging questions around the definitions and scope of care practice in response. The confluence of technological, sociocultural, geopolitical, and climatic realities of the current day brings into focus the need to unpack the idea of “care,” and the role that HCI researchers could play in creating equitable futures of remote and hybrid care. This workshop will focus on questions such as “What does holistic wellbeing look like in the era of hybrid caregiving” and “How does environmental care factor into our research practice” We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry in this workshop to reflect on these questions and advance the future of remote care work at CHI.

WS37: Towards an Inclusive and Accessible Metaverse

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop (half-day)

Webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/accessiblemetaverse

Organizers:

  • Callum Parker, The University of Sydney, Australia
  • Soojeong Yoo, University College London, United Kingdom
  • Youngho Lee, Mokpo National University, South Korea
  • Joel Fredericks, The University of Sydney, Australia
  • Arindam Dey, The University of Queensland, Australia
  • Youngjun Cho, University College London, United Kingdom
  • Mark Billinghurst, University of South Australia, Australia

Description: The push towards a Metaverse is growing, with companies such as Meta developing their own interpretation of what it should look like. The Metaverse at its conceptual core promises to remove boundaries and borders, becoming a decentralised entity for everyone to use – forming a digital virtual layer over our own “real” world. However, creation of a Metaverse or “new world” presents the opportunity to create one which is inclusive and accessible to all. This challenge is explored and discussed in this workshop, with an aim of understanding how to create a Metaverse which is open and inclusive to people with physical and intellectual disabilities, and how interactions can be designed in a way to minimise disadvantage. The key outcomes of this workshop outline new opportunities for improving accessibility in the Metaverse, methodologies for designing and evaluating accessibility, and key considerations for designing accessible Metaverse environments and interactions.

WS38: Workshop on Trust and Reliance in AI-Human Teams (TRAIT)

Sunday April 23, Hybrid workshop

Webpage: https://chi-trait.github.io/

Organizers:

  • Gagan Bansal, Microsoft Research, USA
  • Zana Buçinca, Harvard University, USA
  • Kenneth Holstein, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
  • Jessica Hullman, Northwestern University, USA
  • Dr. Alison Marie Smith-Renner, Dataminr, USA
  • Dr Simone Stumpf, University of Glasgow, UK
  • Sherry Wu, Carnegie Mellon University, USA

Description: As humans increasingly interact (and even collaborate) with AI systems during decision-making, creative exercises, and other tasks, appropriate trust and reliance are necessary to ensure proper usage and adoption of these systems. Specifically, people should understand when to trust or rely on an algorithm’s outputs and when to override them. Significant research focus has aimed to define and measure trust in human-AI interaction, and design and implement interactions that promote and calibrate trust. However, conceptualizing trust and reliance, and identifying the best ways to measure these constructs and effectively shape them in human-AI interactions remains a challenge, especially across contexts and domains. This workshop aims to establish building appropriate trust and reliance on (imperfect) AI systems as a vital, yet under-explored research problem. The workshop will provide a venue for exploring three broad aspects related to human-AI trust: (1) How do we clarify definitions and frameworks relevant to human-AI trust and reliance (e.g., what does trust mean in different contexts)? (2) How do we measure trust and reliance? And, (3) How do we shape trust and reliance? The workshop will build on the success from running it at CHI 2022, with a focus on “Learning from Practice” — how can we better tie theory-building to real-life use cases? As these problems and solutions involving humans and AI are interdisciplinary in nature, we invite participants with expertise in HCI, AI, ML, psychology, and social science, or other relevant fields to foster closer communications and collaboration between multiple communities.

  • Suleman Shahid, Lahore University of Management Science, Pakistan
  • Devanuj K. Balkrishan, JK Lakshmipat University, India

Description: With the advancements in technologies, the need for Human’s perspective and human-centered designs are in much demand, and its essential to understand diverse cultural needs. The community in South Asia has been recognized to have a unique and diverse socio-cultural, political, infrastructural, and geographical background of the region. However, we witness a lack of HCI work presented by South Asian research community promoting diverse methods, cultures and behaviors. We believe this is due to limited experience in the field and resources thus in this online workshop, we take advanced steps to operationalize collaborations and resource sharing between HCI researchers across South Asia. Our aim is to broaden the perspective of the CHI research and community towards the contributions from the region including and beyond development, by bringing together researchers, designers, and practitioners working or are interested in working within these regions on diverse topics.

WS40: GenAICHI 2023: Generative AI and HCI at CHI 2023

Friday April 28, Virtual workshop

Webpage: https://generativeaiandhci.github.io/

Organizers:

  • Michael Muller, IBM Research, USA
  • Lydia B. Chilton, Columbia University, USA
  • Anna Kantosalo, University of Helsinki, Finland
  • Q. Vera Liao, Microsoft Research, Canada
  • Mary Lou Maher, University of North Carolina, USA
  • Charles Patrick Martin, Australian National University, Austalia
  • Greg Walsh, University of Baltimore, USA

Description: This workshop applies human centered themes to a new and powerful technology, generative artificial intelligence (AI). Unlike AI systems that produce decisions or descriptions, generative AI produces new instances of types of data that can include images, texts, music, design, and motion. However, it is not yet clear how humans can make sense of generative algorithms and outcomes. We invite original submissions about generative applications, design issues, emerging capabilities, and the ethics of human-AI configurations. Empirical reports, speculative designs, theories, and critiques are all welcome.

WS41: Human-centered Explainable AI: Coming of Age

  • Hal Daumé Iii, University of Maryland & Microsoft Research, USA
  • Andreas Riener, Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), Germany
  • Mark O. Riedl, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA

Description: Explainability is an essential pillar of Responsible AI that calls for equitable and ethical Human-AI interaction. Explanations are essential to hold AI systems and their producers accountable, and can serve as a means to ensure humans’ right to understand and contest AI decisions. Human-centered XAI (HCXAI) argues that there is more to making AI explainable than algorithmic transparency. Explainability of AI is more than just “opening” the black box — who opens it matters just as much, if not more, as the ways of opening it. In this third CHI workshop on Human-centered XAI (HCXAI), we build on the maturation through the first two installments to craft the coming-of-age story of HCXAI, which embodies a deeper discourse around operationalizing human-centered perspectives in XAI. We aim towards actionable interventions that recognize both affordances and potential pitfalls of XAI. The goal of the third installment is to go beyond the black box and examine how human-centered perspectives in XAI can be operationalized at the conceptual, methodological, and technical levels. Encouraging holistic (historical, sociological, and technical) approaches, we emphasize “operationalizing.” Within our research agenda for XAI, we seek actionable analysis frameworks, concrete design guidelines, transferable evaluation methods, and principles for accountability.

Our goals for EduCHI 2023, the 5th Annual Symposium on HCI Education, are as follows: (1) Continue growing the HCI education CoP; (2) Provide a platform to build and disseminate knowledge about HCI education; (3) Share innovative pedagogies and teaching methods by HCI educators to encourage inclusive teaching practices; and (4) Promote and support a global, diverse, and inclusive vision for HCI education.

Description: The Workgroup on Interactive Systems in Healthcare (WISH) connects academic and industry researchers across human-computer interaction, medical informatics, health informatics, digital health, and beyond to foster a community around innovations in consumer and medical health and wellbeing. The WISH Symposium at CHI 2023 will regather the HCI health and wellbeing research community for the first in-person community meeting in four years, allowing us to discuss and disseminate findings, methods, and approaches towards understanding and creating interactive health and wellbeing systems. We will continue the tradition of providing mentoring opportunities for early- and mid-career researchers, ranging from undergraduates to post-PhD, to establish future generations of scholars in the area. This will be the tenth WISH meeting, following a successful tradition of workshops at relevant venues including CHI over the past decade.
