The rapid rise of generative AI across many domains makes it essential to reflect on how it can be democratized responsibly. This long-format, in-person workshop aims to map both the current state and the future of genAI democratization, and to explore how HCI can help guide these developments.
We invite researchers, designers, and practitioners to submit a short position paper (2–4 pages, ACM single-column template) relating to responsible AI democratization in one of our focus domains: education, health, sustainability, culture and society, art and creativity, social inclusivity and ethics, or the manufacturing industry.
The review process will be single blind. The submissions will be evaluated by the program committee and the organizers on suitability for the workshop, diversity across domains, and their quality. Accepted submissions will be published on ArXiv and/or on this website. At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop. All participants must register for the workshop.
