Table of Contents

Summary: This volume includes the proceedings of five workshops, which accepted a total of 33 papers.

Workshop 1: Adaptive XAI - Towards Intelligent Interfaces for Tailored AI Explanations (AXAI)

Organizers: Tommaso Turchi (University of Pisa, Italy), Alessio Malizia (University of Pisa, Italy), Simone Borsci (University of Twente, Netherlands), Alan Chamberlain (University of Nottingham, United Kingdom)

The Adaptive XAI Workshop explores the design of interfaces that dynamically adapt to offer tailored AI system explanations. It emphasises understanding and crafting explanations that resonate across diverse user needs, reflecting a commitment to human-centric, responsive AI. Participants will explore solutions that bridge the gap between AI functionality and end-user understanding.

Workshop 2: 5th Workshop on Human-AI Co-Creation with Generative Models (HAI-GEN)

Organizers: Werner Geyer (IBM Research AI), Mary Lou Maher (University of North Carolina, Charlotte, USA), Justin D. Weisz (IBM Research AI), Daniel Buschek (University of Bayreuth, Germany), Lydia B. Chilton (Columbia University, New York, USA)

Generative AI introduces a new UI paradigm called intent-based outcome specification shifting control over from people to AI, enabling new forms of co-creativity and co-creation. This workshop will explore the implications of this shift, deepen our understanding of the human-AI co-creative process, and examine how we can design, build, use, and evaluate human-AI co-creative systems that are both effective and safe.

Workshop 3: SOCIALIZE and HUMANIZE Combined Workshop

Organizers: Bruce Ferwerda (Jönköping University, Sweden), Giuseppe Sansonetti (Università di Roma 3, Italy), Marko Tkalcic (University of Primorska, Koper, Slovenia), Fabio Gasparetti (University of Roma 3, Italy), Panagiotis Germanakos (SAP SE, PulseX Research Institute gUG, Germany), Cristina Gena (Università of Torino, Italy)

The combined SOCIALIZE/HUMANIZE workshop addresses intelligent interactive techniques rooted in social and psychological theories. We welcome contributions, including social robots, that may foster the social and cultural inclusion of a broad range of users, with a focus on vulnerable groups (e.g., children, elderly, autistic, and disabled people) and disadvantaged, at-risk categories (e.g., refugees and migrants). Furthermore, we welcome research integrating psychological theory features (e.g., personality, cognitive styles) into models of systems like recommender systems. Additionally, we seek studies on enhancing (AI) explainability, fairness, transparency, and reducing bias in intelligent systems' data or output.
