Understanding and Shaping Human-Technology Assemblages in the Age of Generative AI

Generative AI capabilities are rapidly transforming how we perceive, interact with, and relate to machines. This one-day workshop invites HCI researchers, designers, and practitioners to imaginatively inhabit and explore the possible futures that might emerge from humans combining generative AI capabilities into everyday technologies at massive scale. Workshop participants will craft stories, visualisations, and prototypes through scenario-based design to investigate these possible futures, resulting in the production of an open-annotated scenario library and a journal or interactions article to disseminate the findings. We aim to gather the DIS community knowledge to explore, understand and shape the relations this new interaction paradigm is forging between humans, their technologies and the environment in safe, sustainable, enriching, and responsible ways.
