Building SAI systems requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates five disciplines: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), AI, end-user Development (EUD), Law and Ethics, and Software Engineering (SE).
The expected outcome concerns a collection of insights that can guide the future definition of design patterns, evaluation techniques, and guidelines that can be applied to creating SAI systems that can be used during the decision-making process.
Participants are invited to submit contributions that revolve around the following topics focusing on the human-AI relationship in critical scenarios:
Novel interaction mechanisms to support professionals through AI.
Case studies investigating the relationship between humans and AI in critical contexts (e.g., industry, medicine).
Re-engineering of already-existing AI systems for problem-solving and decision-making.
Application of HCD and development techniques to AI-powered software to support humans in making decisions.
Evaluation methods and quality verification techniques for the creation or employment of AI-based systems.
Application of EUD methods and techniques to AI-based solutions that can help humans in making decisions.
Considerations of legal and ethical issues concerning the use of AI systems in contexts in which human responsibility and accountability play a crucial role.
Investigation concerning the role of trustworthiness in AI to support decision-making (e.g., AI systems used by professionals or patients for diagnostic/therapeutic support).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics
The key areas that will be investigated during the workshop revolve around the human-AI relationship in decision making, specifically:
- Human-AI Decision Support Systems
- Human-Computer Interaction for AI
- End-User Development methods, techniques, and tools for AI

CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS
Second Workshop on Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases
Co-located with the 4th International Conference on Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI25)
June 10, 2025 | Pisa, Italy (in-person)
https://sites.google.com/view/frictional-ai/home
--------------------------------------------------
**Workshop Overview**
Building on the success of its first edition at HHAI 2024, the full-day workshop on "Stimulating Cognitive Engagement in Hybrid Decision-Making: Friction, Reliance, and Biases" advances the exploration of over-reliance and biases in Human-AI Interaction. Central to this discussion are approaches that intentionally introduce moments of cognitive effort and reflection into AI interactions to prevent passive or automatic reliance. While conventional AI design prioritises efficiency and seamlessness, this workshop invites participants to examine AI systems that strategically slow down decision-making when necessary to mitigate automation bias, cognitive offloading, and over-trust, ultimately fostering accuracy, responsibility, and human oversight.
Such friction-in-design encompasses strategies that encourage users to reflect before acting, such as requiring justification before accepting AI recommendations, displaying confidence scores with uncertainty visualisations, or using explainability mechanisms that slow decision-making to reinforce human oversight.
This workshop fosters interdisciplinary dialogue across AI research, cognitive science, HCI, and governance to ensure AI systems empower users rather than encourage unchecked reliance. The program will feature keynote presentations by leading experts in academia and industry, author presentations, and interactive discussions to advance the discourse on cognitively engaging and responsible AI design.
Keynote speakers include:
• Prof. Federico Cabitza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) – Expert in AI-assisted decision-making and medical AI.
• Bart Van Leeuwen (Fire Services Expert, Netherlands) – Expert in human factors and situational awareness in high-risk environments.
**Topics of Interest**
We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics including, but not limited to:
• Design principles for cognitive engagement
• Measuring and mitigating automation bias, algorithmic aversion, and cognitive offloading
• Ethical and governance perspectives on Friction-in-Design
• Applications, Case Studies and Experimental Findings
We encourage submissions from a variety of disciplines, including AI, HCI, cognitive science, law, philosophy, and beyond.
**Submission Details**
• Types of Submissions: Extended Abstracts (500-1,000 words)
• Format: CEURART-WS (see workshop website for template)
• Submission Portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FrictionalAIWorkshop2025
