<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;" class="">AI systems are increasingly present in everyday society, from simple computer systems to agents such as autonomous vehicles or social robots. In this context, several researchers have
noted that it is critical to understand how human users perceive such systems - in particular, the degree to which they understand how the system works, and what mental models they build of the underlying algorithms. "Explainable AI" thus refers to AI systems
that behave or provide the necessary information so that their working becomes comprehensible to the human user.</span> <br class="">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;" class=""> </span><br class="">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;" class="">For this meeting, we are interested in AI systems that operate at least somewhat autonomously based on real-world sensory data (in particular, based on machine vision). This includes
robotics and autonomous vehicles, but can also cover disembodied systems such as decision support systems.</span><br class="">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;" class=""> </span><br class="">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;" class="">We are particularly interested in contributions that give detailed consideration to the fact that these are AI systems that sense (often through machine vision) the environment, and consider
the possible role of understanding human cognitive mechanisms in the design of such systems. Relevant human cognitive mechanisms could include, for example, how humans perceive and interpret information themselves (which may be relevant in the design of explainable
information processing by a machine) or how they interact with other intelligent agents (including their expectations on such interactions), which may impose constraints on the design of explainable systems that may be perceived as an intelligent, interactive
agent by human users.</span><br class="">
