<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this message finds you well. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are excited to announce an upcoming workshop that aims to break new ground in the realm of affective computing. The workshop, titled “From Lab to Life: Realising the Potential of Affective Computing”, will encourage discussion from both
academic and industry experts, which promises to be an enriching experience for both professionals and researchers alike.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D1D2C;background:white"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D1D2C;background:white">Machine capabilities are on the rise. New advances in AI and Robotics have enabled the creation of ever more competent artificial systems that have the potential to contribute to various types
of human activities. However, for this potential to result in a step-change in how humans and machines interact and work with each other, machines also need to be competent at understanding their human counterparts. How can task-competent machines become competent
teammates, assistants, and companions for human users? How can technology make sense of human behaviour, responses, and experiences?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:#0D1D2C">Affective Computing research has been spearheading the effort to answer these questions and resolve challenges of human-machine interaction. To take the unique
insights and innovations developed in Affective Computing from lab prototypes to robust and reliable technology solutions for human users, there is a need for academic and industry researchers to come together. In this workshop, we create a forum for this
conversation structured around three specific themes: (1) ethics and regulations, (2) industry perspectives, and (3) academic perspectives.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s what you can expect from the workshop:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<b>Expert insights:</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>gain valuable insights from renowned experts in academia and industry who will share their experiences, perspectives, and ethical considerations on affective computing.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<b>Interactive discussions:</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>participate in discussions with experts by submitting a 2 page perspective piece and sharing your perspectives during a moderated panel where both you and speakers can discuss.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
