Welcome to
STAIG@CHI'25
We stand at a pivotal time in technology development and its impacts on society. Rapid advancements in and adoption of frontier AI systems have amplified the need for AI governance measures across the public sector, academia, and industry.
To this end, we welcome your participation in the first CHI workshop on Sociotechnical AI Governance, where we rally the interdisciplinary expertise of the HCI community to tackle AI governance through a sociotechnical lens.
Join us at the PACIFICO in Yokohama, Japan or online. See our proposal!
Call for Participation
As AI systems become increasingly powerful and pervasive, there is an urgent need to design effective AI governance measures around both technical and social factors. Sociotechnical AI governance recognizes that AI's real-world impacts are always a product of both technical capabilities and broader social factors including stakeholders, organization structures, power dynamics, and cultural norms. To explore this important emerging topic, we invite authors from across academia, industry, the legal domain, and the public sector to submit papers to the Sociotechnical AI Governance workshop at CHI 2025 (STAIG @ CHI '25).
This workshop aims to build community and collaboratively draft a research agenda for sociotechnical AI governance. In particular, we outline four governance challenges for authors to consider: anticipating high-priority risks to address with governance; identifying where to focus governance efforts and who should participate in and lead those efforts; designing appropriate interventions and tools to implement governance actions in practice; and evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions and tools in context.
Topics authors may choose to tackle include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical and empirical understanding of stakeholders' needs and goals in AI governance.
- Novel interactive tools and interventions for collaborative governance.
- Case studies of governance in various sociotechnical scenarios.
- Evaluation methods for governance measures in practice.
Submission Guide
Format. Submitted papers should be up to four [4] pages in the ACM single-column format, excluding references and appendix materials. You can use ACM's LaTeX or Word templates. If you are using LaTeX, please use \documentclass[manuscript,review,anonymous]{acmart} in your preamble.
Reviewing process. Submissions will go through a double-blind peer review process based on quality. Each paper will receive two high-quality reviews. We will advertise the accepted papers on our workshop website. We encourage submitted authors to also review for the workshop.
Attendance and presentation. Accepted papers are non-archival and will be presented as posters in the workshop. At least one author must register for and attend the workshop to present their paper.
Submissions are now closed.
