Cooperative Intelligence: Human-Artificial Intelligence at Work

Abstract

This workshop investigates the developing notion of cooperative intelligence—the collaborative capability arising from human-AI interaction within working environments. Based on inter-disciplinary insights from CSCW (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work), HCI (Human Computer Interaction), and research on human-AI systems, it looks to engage with how AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems adapt cooperatively with humans, redefine work roles, affect team dynamics, communication, well-being, and identity. Foremost, studies have identified opportunities for mutually-beneficial decision-making as well as risks such as exclusion and ethical uncertainty. The increasing prominence of generative AI complicates the situation, rewriting white-collar work while generating new manager responsibilities. The workshop aims to investigate such dynamics, more notably regulation, power, and responsibility, and opens up for an array of submissions—from empirical case studies, through theory- and design-led ones. Through sharing of knowledge through collaborative activities, the workshop encourages cross-disciplinary and discursive dialogue, as well as the identification of pathways for incorporating AI into work practices that are both transparent, human-centred, as well as inclusive.
