[visionlist] IJCAI 2025 / Special Track on Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence

[Mehul Bhatt]

IJCAI 2025
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) — Montreal, Aug 16 - 25, 2025  /  https://2025.ijcai.org <https://2025.ijcai.org/>

IJCAI is the premier international gathering of researchers in AI! This call is to solicit submissions for the IJCAI 2025 Special Track on Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence (HAI).
A brief description is available below, and detailed instructions have been announced online.


IJCAI 2025  SPECIAL TRACK:
	Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence
	—  Multidisciplinary Contours and Challenges of Next-Generation AI Research and Applications
	https://2025.ijcai.org/call-for-papers-human-centred-artificial-intelligence/


The special track aims to explore the multidisciplinary scientific contours and challenges of next-generation artificial intelligence research and its applications in real-world contexts. The special track welcomes and aims to inspire a multifaceted perspective on approaching next-generation Human-Centric AI Research primarily, but not exclusively, at the confluence of formal, computational, and cognitive aspects on the one hand, and social, cultural, and ethico-legal dimensions influencing AI development and their application on the other hand.

The special track welcomes original research that:

·  Recognises and articulates a nuanced view of computational intelligence in relation to the depth, diversity and multi-faceted nature of `human intelligence’ in diverse naturalistic real-world problem solving, as well as in everyday human activity and interaction contexts. We welcome demonstrated and systematically evaluated computational models of one or more aspects of human-intelligence, be it with or without the integration of diverse AI techniques/methods.

·  Concretely addresses the practical `AI design implications’ emanating from the (human-centric) cognitive, social, ethical and legal dimensions driving AI/ML methodological developments. By design, implied are questions pertaining to human-centric AI engineering, deployment, usability, evaluation, benchmarking, and standardization of AI/ML techniques. Such AI-design may be pursued, for instance, in the explicit backdrop of emerging AI regulation, or it may be conceptually rooted (and `systematically’ justified) vis-à-vis social and ethical considerations identifiable in a specific task/context or application domain.

Integrative research efforts combining computational methods with behavioural or empirical techniques aimed at exploiting synergies in the study of artificial and human intelligence are also welcome, as long as the technical novelty from the viewpoint of AI method development is clearly articulated and evaluated, and constitutes the key aspect of the submitted work.


FOCUS  /  AI, Human Cognition, and Embodied Interaction.

The 2025 edition of the special track focusses (though not exclusively) on the role of `Human Cognition’ and `Embodied (Multimodal) Interaction’ in diverse naturalistic settings for the design and development of next-generation foundational methods and techniques in AI and ML. By `Humans’ and `Human Cognition’, entailed are human behaviours, preferences and expectations, decision-making, multimodal interaction modalities, problem-solving skills (etc) as relevant from perspectives such as (a) Human perception and cognition; (b) Society and culture; (c) Ethics and emerging AI-related regulatory compliance; and (d) Standardization. Here, the special track will particularly prioritise research focussed on human-behavioural studies involving quantitative and/or qualitative empirical analyses of human-behaviour in naturalistic settings as a means to systematically influence the design of human-centred AI methods. Also in focus are specific technical implications for the (human-centric) design of AI in applications relevant to, for instance:

·  Human (in-the-loop) assistance and collaborative autonomy in everyday life and professional work contexts (e.g., autonomous and assisted driving, human-robot collaboration, social interaction between human and robots)
·  Clinical or medical practice (e.g., involving cognitive diagnosis, rehabilitation, multimodal neurocognitive imaging, neuroethics)
·  Collaborative problem-solving for engineering design synthesis, discovery, diagnostics, creativity etc. (e.g. architecture design, media design)
·  Entertainment computing (e.g., AI-driven digital visuo-auditory media synthesis)
·  Media (e.g., disinformation and fake news mitigation, AI in education)

The above application areas are merely indicative, and by no means exhaustive. We welcome all systematically investigated AI application contexts that have not been explicitly mentioned in this call.
