HMC22 is the second workshop in the Algorithmic Futures Policy Lab series, and will focus on identifying challenges and opportunities presented by collaborations between humans and algorithmic systems (including artificial intelligence-powered systems) in an uncertain world, with a particular focus on aspects of relevance to the EU and Australia.

Within the two-day workshop, HMC22 will cover “What is human-machine collaboration?” from a multi-disciplinary perspective on day 1, and will address safety, responsibility and sustainability for systems involving human-machine collaboration on day 2. A list of confirmed speakers can be found here.

HMC22 is a collaboration between ANU Centre for European Studies, ANU School of Cybernetics, ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society, University of Canberra, DIMACS at Rutgers University, and CNRS LAMSADE. It is made possible with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
