This workshop will bring together researchers to reflect on the challenges of Responsible Innovation (RI) in digital societies and collaboratively develop strategies for the HCI community to engage with, practice, contribute to, critique, and evaluate the RI agenda with particular reference to digital technology.
The workshop will consist of short PechaKucha talks outlining participants positions, and several flexible Open Space workshops to explore and formulate positions surrounding the following questions:
1. What roles can HCI play in facilitating RI across computing education, practice, innovation, and research?
2. What can RI learn from existing principles and frameworks in HCI, and vice-versa?
3. How can we encourage effective application of RI within digital technology beyond superficial ‘tickbox’ approaches?
4. How can we evaluate, critique and improve RI applied to HCI and digital technology?
5. How can RI be integrated with (or challenged by) purpose-led agendas such as SHCI and HCI4D?
We aim to produce a collective statement and initiate collaborative working papers based on themes emerging from the workshop.
We invite submissions of 1-4 page position statements (including references) relevant to the above themes. These may take the format of extended abstracts, pictorials, sketches, or any other medium that the author sees fit.
Please direct submissions and queries to responsibleinnovationHCI@gmail.com.
At least one author of each accepted abstract must attend the workshop. All participants must register for the workshop and at least one day of the ACM CHI 2019 conference.
