Explainable AI for the Arts 2 (XAIxArts2)

This second workshop on explainable AI for the Arts (XAIxArts) brings together a community of researchers and creative practitioners in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, AI, explainable AI (XAI), and Digital Arts to explore the role of XAI for the Arts. XAI is a core concern of Human-Centred AI and relies heavily on HCI techniques to explore how to make complex and difficult to understand AI models more understandable to people. Our first workshop explored the landscape of XAIxArts and identified emergent themes. To move the discourse on XAIxArts forward and to contribute to Human-Centred AI more broadly this workshop will: i) bring researchers together to expand the XAIxArts community; ii) collect and critically reflect on current and emerging XAIxArts practice; iii) co-develop a manifesto for XAIxArts; iv) co-develop a proposal for an edited book on XAIxArts; v) engage with the wider discourse on Human-Centred AI.
