Aims and Scope
The workshop A2ID — 1st International Workshop on Augmented Artificial Intelligence: a
Symbiotic Approach to Enhance Decision-Making has the objective to explore, through
discussion and exchange of views, the role of human-AI interaction in domains where humans
can make decisions with the help of AI-based systems. The workshop aims to investigate the
potential of Symbiotic AI (SAI), a specialization of Human-Centered AI (HCAI), that aims
at supporting humans, instead of replacing them while augmenting and enhancing their
skills. Building SAI systems requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates five
disciplines: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), AI, end-user Development (EUD), Law and
Ethics, and Software Engineering (SE).
The expected outcome concerns a collection of insights that can guide the future
definition of design patterns, evaluation techniques, and guidelines that can be applied
to creating SAI systems that can be used during the decision-making process.
Participants are invited to submit contributions that revolve around the following topics
focusing on the human-AI relationship in critical scenarios:
Novel interaction mechanisms to support professionals through AI.
Case studies investigating the relationship between humans and AI in critical contexts
(e.g., industry, medicine).
Re-engineering of already-existing AI systems for problem-solving and decision-making.
Application of HCD and development techniques to AI-powered software to support humans in
making decisions.
Evaluation methods and quality verification techniques for the creation or employment of
AI-based systems.
Application of EUD methods and techniques to AI-based solutions that can help humans in
making decisions.
Considerations of legal and ethical issues concerning the use of AI systems in contexts in
which human responsibility and accountability play a crucial role.
Investigation concerning the role of trustworthiness in AI to support decision-making
(e.g., AI systems used by professionals or patients for diagnostic/therapeutic support).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics
The key areas that will be investigated during the workshop revolve around the human-AI
relationship in decision making, specifically:
- Human-AI Decision Support Systems
- Human-Computer Interaction for AI
- End-User Development methods, techniques, and tools for AI
- Human-Centered Design (HCD) applied to the creation of AI
- Trustworthy AI
- Ethical and Responsible AI
- Legal Frameworks for AI
- Software Engineering for creating AI-based systems
- Evaluation and Assessment of AI-based Systems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions and Evaluation Criteria
Potential participants are invited to submit a position paper addressing the topics and
goals of the workshop. Participants may submit novel ideas, work-in-progress, or
well-founded works. Submissions should not exceed 10 pages in length (excluding
references), and should be carefully formatted using the single-column CEUR-WS CEURAT
template, available for both LaTeX and Word users at
https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip (an Overleaf template is also available for LaTeX
users at
https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt).
Contributions will be managed through EasyChair. Contributions can be submitted using the
following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=aid20250
Each submission will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program Committee, who will
assess the relevance of the submission to the workshop's topics, as well as the
technical soundness and presentation quality.
