1st Annual Workshop: Human-AI Collaboration and Culture for Equity and Inclusion

 This half-day In-Person workshop aims to bring together educators, researchers, technologists, and designers to explore how collaborative AI systems can foster equity, inclusion, and cultural responsiveness in education. We're not accepting any paper submission; Instead, this workshop emphasizes hands-on, activity-driven participation. Join us for a day of dynamic engagement through design sprints, group brainstorming, and conceptual mapping activities focused on Human-AI collaboration in diverse educational contexts.

 Key Topics and Themes

The workshop explores questions at the intersection of AI design, collaboration, and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), including:

• Defining Human-AI Collaboration in education and learning contexts

• Establishing the role of AI as a teammate vs. a tool

• Methodologies for studying Human-AI teaming in collaborative environments

• Exploring platforms, infrastructure, and technical design for AI teammates

• Investigating psychological and social dynamics of Human-AI interaction

• Examining the impact of AI on DEI 

• Understanding how AI surfaces and amplifies conversations about bias

• Promoting Responsible AI design through inclusive and ethical frameworks

• Considering how AI drives new urgency around DEI in education

• Measuring inclusion with AI: Developing metrics to detect equity, participation balance, and belonging in collaborative settings

• Facilitating inclusion and psychological safety: Designing AI teammates that respond to social dynamics, encourage voice, and mitigate marginalization

• Building testable infrastructure: Identifying platforms, data pipelines, and experimental setups to evaluate Human-AI teaming in real-time, authentic learning environments

• Reflecting on Universalisms and Cultural Specificities when Considering Equity in AIED
