This theme highlights the importance of keeping users in mind when developing explainable AI solutions, ensuring that explanations are social, accessible, relevant, and adaptable to different audiences. This is especially crucial for promoting a model of hybrid intelligence in society, as everyday explainability is required for humans and AI tools to build appropriate trust and ensure correct, and safe use. This can be challenging because it requires not only technical knowledge but also insights into human cognition, communication, and design.

Abstract
AI is increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, setting specific requirements for responsible development and deployment: The AI should be explainable and inclusive. Despite substantial research and development investment in explainable AI, there is a lack of effort into making AI explainable and inclusive to people with cognitive disabilities as well. In this talk, I present a position paper in which we outlined the first steps towards this research topic. We argue that three main questions guide this research, namely: 1) How explainable should a system be?; 2) What level of understanding can the user reach, and what is the right type of explanation to help them reach this level?; and 3) How can we implement an AI system that can generate the necessary explanations?
11:30 – 12:30
Short (10-minute) talks will introduce ideas, ongoing projects, or specific challenges related to creating user-focused explainable AI. The goal is to set the stage for discussion and exchanging ideas later in the day.

In the afternoon, participants will work in small groups to further explore the topics presented in the morning of their choice. These sessions will provide an opportunity to exchange perspectives, develop new ideas, and consider possible approaches or collaborations.
15:00 – 15:30
At the end of the day, each group will briefly share their insights with the rest of the audience as a quick wrap-up of the day and highlight the diversity of thoughts shared across the sessions.
