Responsible and Human Centred AI across Borders (Meet-up)

As AI deployment accelerates globally, the urgency for responsible AI(RAI) frameworks has catalysed unprecedented policy initiatives and research investments worldwide. The CHI community, positioned uniquely at the intersection of technology, people, society, and values, has a crucial role in shaping RAI development. This meet-up brings together international HCI researchers working across value-sensitive design, human-centred AI, ethics, explainability, trustworthy AI, sustainability and equitability to foster collaborative dialogue on CHI’s perspectives and potential in RAI. Through an interactive town hall format featuring community standups, democratic topic selection, and structured roundtable discussions, we will generate actionable outcomes, including network building, knowledge sharing, and concrete collaboration opportunities for the CHI community around RAI. This meetup would serve as a foundational response from the CHI community to establish priorities, forge connections, and catalyse the next generation of RAI research that centers human values, promotes fairness, and advances democratic principles in an era of AI transformation.
