ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop aims to encourage creative consideration of optimistic and pessimistic futures, encouraging attendees to explore the opportunities and barriers that lie ahead through an imaginative game. Considerations of the future will be mapped out in greater detail through the drafting of research agendas, by which attendees will get to know each other’s expertise and networks of resources. The two day workshop, consisting of two 90-minute sessions, will facilitate greater communication and collaboration between these communities, connecting researchers to work together to influence the futures they imagine in the workshop.
POTENTIAL TOPICS
Some of the topics we may cover include, but are not limited to:
- The costs and benefits of multitasking in the car.
- Pros and cons of integrating CUIs into our vehicles.
- Technical challenges and horizons in CUI and Automotive UI design.
- Ethical issues and solutions surrounding the AI in CUIs and Automotive UIs.
- The upsides and downsides of children interacting with Automotive CUIs.
- Legal frameworks to support or suppress the use of Automotive CUIs.
- Doors of accessibility opened or closed by Automotive CUIs.
- Automotive CUIs for multiparty collaboration or multiparty frustration.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
We invite researchers from academia and industry practitioners to express their interest in our workshop by submitting three positive views of the future and three negative views of the future of Automotive CUIs. To fit the theme of our game, these views can be single sentences, expressed in the form “Fortunately, …” or “Unfortunately …”
We also invite the submission of one-paragraph biographies to get to know our participants and arrange groups to have diverse sets of interests.
Submissions of views of the future and of one paragraph biographies should be made by email to Justin Edwards any time before the beginning of the conference.
