CALL FOR Participation

 This one-day, in-person, and hybrid CHI 2025 workshop invites researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and community members interested in fair and inclusive speech AI technologies to explore the challenges, impact, and opportunities of speech AI for people with speech diversities. 

Participants will have the opportunity to directly engage with and learn from impacted communities and experts from technical and non-technical fields to build a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities for fair and inclusive speech AI. Leveraging the collective knowledge shared during the workshop, participants will co-create a roadmap for fair and inclusive speech AI, driven by a cross-sector coalition of scholars and stakeholders formed through the workshop.

Participants are encouraged, but not required, to submit position papers, tech demo papers, technical research papers, policy papers, or experience reports and briefs from other fields, under the general theme of understanding and improving speech AI technologies for and with people with speech diversities. Accepted papers will be presented during the workshop as oral or poster presentations, and published on the workshop's website.

Interested participants can apply by completing the application form below to share their background and motivation for participation, with an option to attach a paper of up to ten pages (plus references) in the ACM single-column format. 

The workshop organizing team will select participants based on the alignment between the participants' backgrounds and the workshop themes, while striving to assemble a diverse group across a range of disciplines, methodologies, and seniorities. Find more details in the workshop proposal.
