Description

SOLD OUT

This highly interactive workshop invites participants to collaborate in building upon the IA-for-AI framework that was first presented at IAC 2021. We will work through what it means to understand, translate, and describe the types of situations where human-machine interaction occurs, and the way the relationship between the human and machine changes in real-time.

Participants will identify methodological approaches and dynamic documentation structures that support teams (including UX designers, data scientists, engineers, etc.) in AI system development and ongoing evolution. Participants will collaborate on capturing models, vocabulary, and designs that will be relevant and useful to their team. This workshop covers a wide range of AI application areas such as conversational agents, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles, AI-assisted research, decision support systems, and ideally additional contributions by the participants.

Participants will gain an understanding of the opportunities and responsibilities that IA brings to human-AI relationships; ability to identify vital approaches for creating a shared, coordinated interaction between a person and a machine in AI environments; and what needs to be learned from users – and when – throughout the lifecycle of research, design, development and ongoing use.

Workshop attendees are not presumed to currently work on AI systems, but rather this is a step forward in preparing IAs to do that work. Even without experience, the discussion aims to teach attendees vocabulary and sensitize them to the responsibilities and role of IA within an AI team.
