Workshops and Wicked Problems

Workshop submissions are expected to be the most competitive category. We strongly encourage workshop proposals that focus on AI 鈥淲icked Problems.鈥 These are complex, open-ended educational, societal, or organizational challenges where traditional linear solutions have proven insufficient.

Wicked Problems workshops should be highly interactive and emphasize:

  • Collaboration and dialogue
  • Multi-disciplinary perspectives
  • Exploration of tensions, trade-offs, and ethical considerations
  • Co-development of possible interventions or future directions

Abstracts not selected for the workshop format may be considered automatically for oral presentations or demonstration exhibits.
