Human-AI Collaboration and Culture for Equity and Inclusion
at 26th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, Palermo, Italy
Introduction
Introduction
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
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

This workshop brings together researchers, educators, developers, and policymakers to explore the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and ethical dimensions of human-AI collaboration in education. Grounded in principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, it fosters a transdisciplinary dialogue on designing AI systems that support inclusive learning, promote equitable participation, and respond to diverse cultural and contextual needs. By bridging technical innovation with human-centered design, the workshop aims to advance collaborative understanding and responsible integration of AI in educational settings.
