Call for Papers

This workshop is aimed at students, researchers, and educators interested in the societal implications of generative AI, although we will focus on the challenges faced by individuals in their last academic years. The aim is to explore various themes related to the integration of generative AI tools in everyday life, both in educational and domestic settings, to promote social agency and autonomy. Participants will engage in discussions to exchange experiences and ideas, and to share achievements. It is also expected to offer solutions, recommendations, and strategies to mitigate potential social challenges and enhance individual success. By considering the impact of these factors on social practices and habits, this workshop aims to provide valuable insights for all participants. Several keywords are listed to share the potential themes with interested participants, while the topics are not limited to the provided keywords.

Keywords:

• Social Dynamics of Generative AI
• Learner agency
• Autonomous Engagement in Learning Societies

Ways to Participate

To break the barriers of time and space and to provide seamless communication opportunities for worldwide scholars, both online and offline participation methods are supported for the workshop. Participants are encouraged to bring their own insights, experiences, and examples to share with the group through either presenting a poster online or attending in person.

Poster Session

The poster session will provide an opportunity for researchers to present their work in a visual and interactive way, allowing for more engagement and discussion with other attendees. Authors of qualified papers will be invited to present their works with digital posters. We believe that this online poster session will still be a great platform for participants to share, discuss, and cooperate.

All accepted authors will receive an invitation email to present at the official workshop website. Please note that all poster presenters must submit the poster before October 21, 2024. Detailed information on your presentation date and time will be confirmed closer to the meeting. If you have any questions, please email ws_sydney@icihcs.org.

Attendance Onsite

The workshop welcomes participants to attend on-site and share the innovative experiences and researches with the group. Therefore, we provide some general information about the visa application. If you want to attend the workshop on-site, please email the workshop committee: ws_sydney@icihcs.org.
