Children are the builders of the future and crucial to how the technologies around us develop. They are not voters but are participants in how the public spaces in a city are used. Through a workshop designed around kids of age 9-12, we…
The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present unique challenges for policymakers that seek to govern the technology. In this context, the Delphi method has become an established way to identify consensus and disagreement on…
Plausible findings about futures are inherently difficult to obtain as they require critical, well-informed speculations backed with data. HCI scholars tackle this challenge via user studies wherein futuristic prototypes and other props…
The aim of this workshop was to enable critical discussion on AI futures using fictional news articles and discussion groups. By collaboratively imagining and presenting future scenarios in a journalistic news article format, participants…
This community paper developed out of the NSF Workshop on the Future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Mathematical and Physics Sciences (MPS), which was held in March 2025 with the goal of understanding how the MPS domains…
The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by students in learning presents new challenges for assessing their learning outcomes in project-based learning (PBL). This paper introduces a co-design study to explore the potential of…
We present an innovative methodology for studying and teaching the impacts of AI through a role play game. The game serves two primary purposes: 1) training AI developers and AI policy professionals to reflect on and prepare for future…
Our earlier paper "Patterns of Patterns" combined three techniques from training, futures studies, and design in a design pattern called PLACARD that helps groups of people work together effectively. We used that pattern in five hands-on…
In this position paper, we advocate for the idea that courses and exams in the AI era have to be designed based on two factors: (1) the strengths and limitations of AI, and (2) the pedagogical educational objectives. Based on insights from…
This policy memo examines the evolution of the international AI Summit series, initiated at Bletchley Park in 2023 and continued through Seoul in 2024 and Paris in 2025, as a forum for cooperation on the governance of advanced artificial…

Latest addition to the toolbox of human species is Artificial Intelligence(AI). Thus far, AI has made significant progress in low stake low risk scenarios such as playing Go and we are currently in a transition toward medium stake scenarios…
The goal of this series is to chronicle opinions and issues in the field of machine learning as they stand today and as they change over time. The plan is to host this survey periodically until the AI singularity paperclip-frenzy-driven…
This visual narrative is a first-person reflection of the previous pictorial at the 1st International Workshop on Explainable AI for the Arts (XAIxArts) at ACM Creativity and Cognition 2023. The initial workshop pictorial explored a…
Meetings often suffer from a lack of intentionality, such as unclear goals and straying off-topic. Identifying goals and maintaining their clarity throughout a meeting is challenging, as discussions and uncertainties evolve. Yet meeting…
People with visual impairments (PVI) use a variety of assistive technologies to navigate their daily lives, and conversational AI (CAI) tools are a growing part of this toolset. Much existing HCI research has focused on the technical…
This is a report of an NSF workshop titled "Envisioning National Resources for Artificial Intelligence Research" held in Alexandria, Virginia, in May 2024. The workshop aimed to identify initial challenges and opportunities for national…
These are notes for lectures presented at the University of Stuttgart that provide an introduction to key concepts and techniques in AI Planning. Artificial Intelligence Planning, also known as Automated Planning, emerged somewhere in 1966…
This chapter introduces a research project titled "Analyzing the Political Discourse: A Collaboration Between Humans and Artificial Intelligence", which was initiated in preparation for Greece's 2023 general elections. The project focused…
This article unpacks the design choices behind longstanding and newly proposed computational frameworks aimed at finding common grounds across collective preferences and examines their potential future impacts, both technically and…
