25 November 2025 – Hybrid Event (Paris & Online)
Organized by the HCAI Working Group of the GDR IHM.

We are pleased to announce a one-day workshop dedicated to exploring current research in Human-Centred AI (HCAI) in France. This event brings together researchers, practitioners, and students interested in designing and understanding AI systems that place humans at the center.

The program features: keynote talks by Wendy Mackay and Jules Françoise, research presentations covering diverse aspects of HCAI and live demonstrations of emerging technologies and systems.

The workshop aims to generate three outcomes: a map of current HCAI research in France that highlights active themes; a list of funding opportunities through which new HCAI projects can be developed; and a set of concrete actions that the working group will pursue to structure future activities in this research area.

Attendance

This workshop will be held in hybrid format, welcoming participants both:

  • In person at the Institute for Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR), Sorbonne Université, Paris (see access map below)
  • Online via Zoom, for those unable to travel (Zoom link)

]]> Inauguration of the GDR IHM2025-07-03T00:00:00+00:002025-07-03T00:00:00+00:00https://gt-hcai.github.io/inaugurationWe organized a half-day workshop, which took place on July 3, 2025 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, as part of the inaugural day of the GDR IHM. The purpose of this half-day event was to discuss together the expectations of the working group on this theme, and how we should structure this working group to best support our community.

This half-day event was held face-to-face in Lyon, and online. The event was held in English. If you wish to attend in person, you must register for the GDR IHM inaugural day before Friday 20 June 2025. To prepare for this event, we prepared a quick survey (5min) that we invited participants to complete. This survey enabled us to find out whether you will attend the half-day event and, even if you don’t, to gather information for the GT.

Program

  • 1:30 pm – 1:45 pm Presentation of the working group’s theme
  • 1:45 pm – 2:30 pm Presentation of participants (1 slide – 1 minute/person)
  • 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm Discussion of current survey results
  • 3:00 pm – 3:30 pm Open discussion
