Dear colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming workshop at Mensch und Computer (MuC) 2025 “GenAI and Well-Being: Designing for Agency and Beyond”

We will explore how generative AI can support meaningful, healthy lives and strengthen human agency in everyday contexts.

🎤 We are thrilled to feature a keynote by Jasmin Niess, who will speak on how AI-driven tools can enable new forms of empowerment, while also pushing us to rethink traditional ideas around autonomy, control, and decision-making.

This will be a hands-on and interactive workshop, bringing together diverse perspectives to map out opportunities, surface risks, and shape future research directions. We welcome contributions from HCI, design, ethics, psychology, and related disciplines.
