Building Connections: From Human-Human to Human-AI Collaboration

Human-AI collaboration is increasingly becoming prevalent in various 
domains, ranging from healthcare to finance to education. However, 
current AI systems often fall short in providing natural interactions, 
especially in the context of teamwork. Unlike current human-AI 
interactions, human-human interactions are rich and complex, with 
multi-modal information exchange for task completion, as well as 
trust-building, dispute resolution, and negotiation.

This workshop aims to bring together experts from two different areas: 
human-AI collaboration and human-human collaboration to explore 
potential connections and synergies between the two. The symposium will 
provide a platform to discuss the challenges and opportunities in 
designing AI systems that can interact with humans in a more natural and
collaborative way. The workshop will consist of a series of interactive 
sessions, including talks, panels, and group discussions, aimed at 
fostering collaborations and identifying potential research directions 
in this area.

Key Aims:

1. To identify the challenges and opportunities in designing AI systems 
that can collaborate with humans in a natural way.

2. To explore potential connections and synergies between human-AI and 
human-human collaboration.

3. To foster collaborations between researchers from human-AI 
collaboration and human-human collaboration.


Topics:

The following are a (non-exhaustive) list topics that will be of 
interest in the symposium:

· Algorithms for collaborative agents with novel partner and/or humans

· Human partner modeling

· Communication in human-AI/multi-agent teams

· Coordination and conflict resolution in human-AI teams

· Cognitive and affective aspects of human-AI collaboration

· Robustness of collaborative AI agents

· Explainability for collaborative AI agents

· Trust, safety and reliability of collaborative AI agents

· Large language models for human-AI collaboration


Format:

The symposium will involve a mix of activities including keynotes, paper 
sessions, breakout brainstorming sessions, panel discussions, and poster 
sessions.


Submissions:

We are accepting paper submissions for position, review, or research 
articles in two formats: (a) short papers (2-4 pages) and (b) full 
papers (6-8 pages).

For accepted submissions, authors will have the option to publish their 
work in an open access proceedings site.

Papers can be submitted through the AAAI Summer Symposia EasyChair site 
here: https://easychair.org/conferences/submissions?a=30767585
selecting the appropriate track and theme.
