[iva] CFP--Workshop on Theory of Mind in Human-AI Interaction at CHI 2024

This hybrid workshop will be held in conjunction with ACM CHI 2024, May
11-16 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.

Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to humans’ capability of attributing mental
states such as goals, emotions, and beliefs to ourselves and others. This
concept has become of great interest in human-AI interaction research.
Given the fundamental role of ToM in human social interactions, many
researchers have been working on methods and techniques to equip AI with an
equivalent of human ToM capability to build highly socially intelligent AI.
Another line of research on ToM in human-AI interaction aims at providing
human-centered AI design implications through exploring people’s tendency
to attribute mental states such as blame, emotions, and intentions to AI,
along with the role that AI should play in the interaction (e.g., as a
tool, partner, teacher, and more) to align with people’s expectations and
mental models.

Together, these two research perspectives on ToM form an emerging paradigm
of “Mutual Theory of Mind (MToM)” in human-AI interaction, where both the
human and the AI each possess some level of ToM-like capability during
interactions.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on
different perspectives of ToM in human-AI interaction to define a unifying
research agenda on the human-centered design and development of Mutual
Theory of Mind (MToM) in human-AI interaction. We aim to explore three
broad topics to inspire workshop discussions:

Designing and building AI’s ToM-like capability
Understanding and shaping human’s ToM in human-AI interaction
Envisioning MToM in human-AI interaction
