CALL FOR PAPERS


HHAI 2025 - Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence

https://hhai-conference.org/2025/

June 9–13, 2025, Pisa, Italy

==================================================================


Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI) is an international conference
series that focuses on the study of Artificial Intelligence systems that
cooperate synergistically, proactively and purposefully with humans,
amplifying instead of replacing human intelligence. HHAI aims for AI
systems that work together with humans, emphasizing the need for adaptive,
collaborative, responsible, interactive and human-centered intelligent
systems. HHAI systems leverage human strengths and compensate for human
weaknesses, while taking into account social, ethical and legal
considerations.


HHAI 2025 will be held on June 9–13, 2025, in Pisa, Italy, and is the
fourth conference in the series. The HHAI field is driven by developments
in AI, but it also requires fundamentally new approaches and solutions.
Thus, we encourage collaborations across research domains such as AI, HCI,
cognitive and social sciences, philosophy and ethics, complex systems, and
others. In this fourth international conference, we invite scholars from
these fields to submit their best original – new as well as in progress –
works, and visionary ideas on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence.


The conference will feature three outstanding keynote speakers:


- Prof. John Shawe-Taylor (University College London, UK)

- Dr. Jonathan Stray (Berkeley Center for Human-Compatible AI, University
of California, US)

- Prof. Sandra Wachter (Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, UK)

can be included in these proceedings, unless the authors request the paper
to remain unpublished.


REVIEWING PROCESS & SUBMISSION GUIDELINES


Submissions of full, blue-sky, and working papers should be original work
without substantial overlap with pre-published papers. All submissions
should adhere to IOS formatting guidelines. Papers should be written in
English and detailed submission instructions can also be found here.


**Important**


HHAI 2025 will follow a double-blind reviewing process. Thus, submissions
must exclude all information that might disclose the authors’ names or
affiliations.


All studies involving human participants should have received
human-research ethics consent from the relevant institutions and mention
this in the paper.


Work should be submitted in PDF format via Easychair (link to be announced

HHAI2025 - Call for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals


Workshops and tutorials (Pisa, Italy): June 9-10, 2025

Main conference (Pisa, Italy): June 11-13, 2025


Workshop and tutorial proposals submission: January 31, 2025


Website: https://hhai-conference.org/2025/workshops-and-tutorials/

==================================================================


-------------

Aim and scope

-------------

We invite proposals for two-day, full-day, and half-day workshops at HHAI
2025, the Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial
Intelligence. We also invite tutorials to run alongside the workshops.


Some of the accepted workshops and tutorials will form part of the second
edition of the HHAI Summer School.


The HHAI 2025 workshops and tutorials provide a platform for discussing a
topic related to Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence with an audience
specifically interested in that topic in an informal setting (compared to
the main conference).


We invite submissions for events fostering cross-disciplinary interaction,
scientific discourse, and creative and critical reflection rather than just
mini-conferences. We offer organizers flexibility on formats that best suit
the goals of their event. We also welcome submissions from research
communities that may not be prominently featured in AI events and
conferences.


Workshop and Tutorials will be in person – online/remote versions will not
be accepted.


---------------

Types of Events

---------------

We welcome three types of contributions: traditional workshops, interactive
events, and tutorials.


1. Traditional Workshops

Traditional workshops typically match the topics and challenges of the
general call for papers to the main conference. In a traditional workshop,
the organizers may consider a program involving one or more invited talks
and presentations of accepted papers around a certain theme.


We encourage workshops focusing on emerging topics and applications, open
research questions and challenges, and broader topics that interest a wider
community. In addition, we also encourage workshops with previous editions
in HHAI, which could attract communities that have been working in the same
research area for some years.


2. Interactive Events

In the spirit of reflection and community-building, we invite academics
from all disciplines and people representing different communities of
practice (including journalism, advocacy, activism, education, art, law,
and policy) to contribute creative and reflective events related to HHAI.
The format for these events is flexible. Alternative formats include but
are not limited to:


2a. Lightning Talks: Short, time-limited presentations, usually lasting
5-10 minutes, where speakers quickly share key ideas or insights on a
topic. They are designed to be concise and engaging, often used in
conferences or workshops to cover a wide range of topics quickly.


2b. Debates or Rump Sessions: Informal, open-ended discussions where
participants debate topics, share ideas, or discuss unresolved issues in a
less structured format than formal sessions. Often, these discussions are
lively and allow for spontaneous, free-flowing conversation;


2c. Unconference: A participant-driven, informal conference where attendees
propose and lead sessions or discussions on topics of interest. Unlike
traditional conferences with pre-scheduled agendas, an unconference allows
for flexible, spontaneous collaboration and open sharing of ideas.


2d. Open space or world cafe sessions: Facilitative group discussion
formats where participants engage in collaborative conversations on topics
of mutual interest. In “Open Space”, attendees create their own agenda and
move between discussions freely, while in “World Café”, small groups rotate
between tables, sharing ideas in a structured, conversational environment.
Both aim to foster open dialogue and collective problem-solving.


2e. Interactive Workshop: A hands-on, participatory session where attendees
actively engage in activities, exercises, or discussions to learn and apply
new skills or knowledge. The focus is on collaboration, practice, and
direct involvement rather than passive listening.


2f. Competitions: they are a powerful tool for encouraging researchers to
engage in discussions, exchange knowledge, and advance the development and
assessment of theories and practices in hybrid intelligence systems. By
introducing challenging competitions to the HHAI community, competition
organizers can help push the state-of-the-art in specific fields and
address problems of practical significance.


3. Tutorials:

Unlike the workshops and interactive events, tutorials are intended for
reasonably well-established topics. However, considering that HHAI is an
emerging research topic, we particularly welcome tutorials that connect
well-established topics in AI and other disciplines to HHAI topics. We
encourage tutorials to be interactive to engage the audience.


Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:


- Introduce novices to major topics of HHAI research;

- Survey a mature area of HHAI research or practice;

- Motivate and explain HHAI topic of emerging importance;

- Present a novel synthesis combining distinct HHAI research lines;

- Discuss/showcase technological resources of value for the HHAI research
community;

- Introduce HHAI audiences to an external topic that can motivate, use, or
be useful to HHAI research.
