Human-AI Interaction in the Global Majority: Workshop at Deep Learning Indaba 2025

 About

How is AI being used by the global majority, how are AI tools evolving based on user needs and how are workflows changing/impacted as a result of AI system deployment? 

Human-AI collaboration for the global majority requires meeting people where they are to integrate AI into existing workflows while ensuring accessibility, agency, and responsible use. This workshop will (1) capture the breadth of deployed applications of AI on the continent and (2) discuss patterns for collaboration alongside AI covering the importance of interface design and of algorithms that account for downstream use. We aim to promote new paradigms and evaluation protocols to advance the state of the art in human-AI collaboration for such open-ended complex tasks where, oftentimes, there is no structured ground-truth output.
