CHI2022-Explainability-in-action
This is a holding page for a proposed workshop for CHI 2022 (https://chi2022.acm.org/) on the theme of explainability (X-AI) in relation to concepts and research on human social action.
The workshop organizers will use this page to collate submission information and other resources until the workshop website is set up in time for submissions.
Workshop overview
Explainability in AI is a crucial aspect of interaction with and through machines. It has also been a key concern in HCI from early usability heuristics onwards. This workshop focuses on three under-explored aspects of explainability that can enrich and expand upon existing HCI research in explainable AI (X-AI).
These include:
- explanation as a joint, co-constructed action,
- explanation as a pervasive norm underpinning all social interaction and
- the self-explanatory nature of human conduct in the social world.
This workshop invites X-AI oriented HCI researchers with ethnomethodologists, conversation analysts, discursive psychologists, and researchers from other fields that center on human social action to present papers that explore the pragmatics of X-AI and help to unpack the social foundations of explanation. Alongside giving presentations, participants will be invited to co-author a position paper and to contribute to a proposal for a special issue of Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) on the workshop theme.
