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.
