The Workshop is a one-day session held: Sunday 30 Sept (NordiCHI conference)
The position paper
Use 2-4 pages, following the SIGCHI Extended Abstracts (https://sigchi.org/templates/). Describe
prospective participants' backgrounds. Perspectives, research areas or projects may concern for example:
- Stakeholder and user perspectives: User empowerment (versus obliged use?) Digital citizenshipTeaching practicesCare practices (private use versus professional use, e.g., work equipment, independence versus isolation?)
- Values and norms: Ethics of care. Virtue ethics.Ethics and stakeholder perspectives. Policy. Discrimination. Research norms and practices.
- Human-oriented research: User-centred design. Critical design. Value sensitive design. Participatory design. Sociology. Anthropology. Media and communication studies
Relevant questions that the participants may address in their submission are for example:
- How, and to what extent are users/stakeholders involved in the design of HRI?
- How do current research and methods within HRI research approach the topics of virtue ethics and ethics of care (within the design process, or otherwise)?
- To what extent are the social consequences of HRI considered (for digital citizenship/user empowerment)?
- Digital citizenship is a term frequently used in policy circles and among regulators to denote the use of technology to enhance civic capacities among the adult population and to ensure responsible technology use among children [3][8]. How can the concept of digital citizenship be applied in the HRI field and what implications does it have for robot design?
- Today, it seems to be the case that citizens in general hold unrealistic beliefs about robots and their capabilities. What societal expectations are we as researchers encouraging by the robotic solutions we propose and endorse?
- How do the robotic solutions we create influence governmental policy setting, and how can we consider the risks associated with unsubstantiated policy setting that may negatively impact society?
- When it comes to pressing issues of technology and risk management (e.g., safety and privacy), which ethical considerations should be taken into account when thinking about robot design? And how can we ensure that these are actually reflected upon by commercial developers of technology (industry stakeholders)?
- How do industry stakeholders think about ethical design? How might these attitudes be reflected in their advertising campaigns for new robots? What can the marketing-related messages reveal about the virtues embedded in commercial robot design?
