Whilst automation in such technologies can offer many benefits -e.g., faster communication and reduced mental workload -, it can also reduce the users' agency over how they present themselves in social contexts. In this workshop, we will be identifying and discussing the ethical considerations, as well as implications relating to usability and accessibility, that automation introduces when used in systems for remote communication. This will be a half-day, hybrid workshop consisting of brainstorming and guided discussion activities, aiming to initiate a conversation regarding the multifaceted implications of automation in this field and set directions for future work.

This workshop on AI and Healthcare is dedicated to building community and exploring new partnerships and project opportunities in this important area. First, we will introduce the TAME Pain case study, showcasing how AI-driven solutions can improve pain management through successful collaborations in the UK and US, highlighting both the challenges faced and the impactful results achieved. Then, we will introduce the HEAD collaboration and its mission to foster interdisciplinary research and innovation in AI and healthcare. We will discuss three innovative projects that emerged from the recent summer residency program, detailing their objectives, methodologies, and potential impacts. Each presentation will include a feedback and discussion session, fostering engagement and insights into the future of AI in healthcare. This workshop will provide a platform for knowledge exchange and the formation of meaningful collaborations. +- title: Trustworthy AI for Enhancing Decision-Making in Healthcare + description: > + As AI technology advances, its role in healthcare decision-making becomes increasingly prominent, necessitating a focus on trustworthiness and collaboration.

Trust is a key concept relating to autonomous systems as is outlined in AI Ethics guidelines, frameworks, and regulation. While there is universal agreement on the importance of trust and there are common key principles, there is no agreement on what defines trust and how to develop, design and deploy trustworthy systems. Furthermore, different disciplines approach trust in various ways. This workshop aims to facilitate interactive discussions on how to address issues of trustworthiness in autonomous AI systems through an interdisciplinary lens. Workshop participants will hear insights from guest speaker Steve Kramer, Chief Scientist at KUNGFU.AI, an Austin-based AI consulting firm providing interdisciplinary AI expertise. Following a presentation, participants will be encouraged to approach AI from a set of diverse lenses with the goal of reaching consensus on key ethical issues through a case study challenge. This event is designed to broadly appeal to researchers from various backgrounds (both technical and non-technical) working on or interested in issues at the intersection of AI and ethics. + +- title: "Human-AI Alignment: Developing a research agenda by bridging interdisciplinary approaches" + description: > + With the increased capability and proliferation of AI systems across various domains, ensuring that these systems align with human intentions and values is crucial. Research across disciplines, such as computer science, human-computer interaction, philosophy, and policy, usually targets one aspect of AI alignment, leading to a siloed understanding of its challenges. This workshop aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of human-AI alignment through the integration of diverse disciplinary perspectives. + website: https://sites.google.com/utexas.edu/tas24human-aialignment/home \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/program/workshops.md b/program/workshops.md index e8926d0..43954a9 100644 --- a/program/workshops.md +++ b/program/workshops.md @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ menus: weight: 4 --- -The day prior to the main program, 16th September 2024, we will be hosting a series of workshops related to the themes of the conference.
