Hybrid Automation Experiences – Communication, Coordination, and Collaboration within Human-AI Teams

Automated systems and AI-assisted workflows are evolving from support tools to sophisticated collaborators in so-called “hybrid” teams with human and AI-based members. This evolution presents new challenges and opportunities in the field of “Automation Experience”, particularly in how these team members communicate, coordinate, and collaborate. This workshop aims to contribute to the design of automated systems that augment humans’ capabilities, maintain human autonomy, and create positive automation experiences in human-AI teams. Through presentations, a keynote talk, discussions, and interactive collaborative activities, researchers and practitioners from different fields will address challenges regarding communication, coordination, and collaboration within hybrid human-AI teams. The workshop aims to spark innovative research directions and foster collaborative interdisciplinary initiatives that will advance our understanding of automation experiences in an increasingly AI-dominated landscape.
