Through discussions and the exchange of perspectives, the workshop has the goal of investigating the key components of the interaction between the two parties. Participants will gain deeper insights into the implications of integrating AI into various aspects of daily life, facilitating problem-solving activities such as learning, decision-making, and co-creation. The workshop will be structured as follows: after an initial introduction by the organizers concerning the topics and objectives, there will be presentations for each contribution (10 minutes circa), followed by questions from the other participants. At the end of the session, there will be a participatory activity, through which we will be able to exchange ideas, comments, and reflections concerning the best practices and challenges of Symbiotic Artificial Intelligence for Collaborative Learning Environments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics The topics that will be addressed in the workshop are the following: The impact of a symbiotic human-AI relationship in collaborative environments. Human-Computer Interaction methodologies and techniques to foster symbiosis between humans and AI. Using AI in human learning processes to assist humans cognitively. Using AI for education and skill development. Methodologies and techniques for transferring knowledge between humans and AI through feedback mechanisms. Ethical considerations in human-AI collaborative environments (bias mitigation, fairness, non-discrimination, etc). AI adaptability for personalized interaction experience based on individuals' requirements. The role of trustworthiness in human-AI collaboration for critical activities. Design and evaluation of systems that foster and support human-AI collaboration. Case studies of AI in real-world applications (medicine, healthcare, education, etc). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions and Evaluation Criteria Contributions for the workshop must be submitted through EasyChair using the following link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=colsai2025, following the LaTeX or Microsoft Word template, available at: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip.
