As a result of the latest developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models applications, like ChatGPT and Bard, millions of people started using them. Even more people are interested in using them. These are people from all walks of life, including students, academics, engineers, lawyers, designers, writers, media experts, programmers, politicians, artists, and private citizens across the globe.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together, for knowledge sharing, practitioners, researchers, and scholars in the field of AI, Natural Language Processing, and HCI. The focus of the workshop will be to elaborate on the impact of Large Language Models on our lives, exploring the multifaceted implications of these technologies on daily activities, the industry, academia, and society as a whole.
The workshop aims to facilitate knowledge sharing between practitioners, researchers, and scholars in the field of AI, while working on the currently popular topic of Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models.
Furthermore, participating authors will have the option of publishing the outcomes of the workshop in a chapter of a book that will be edited by the Workshop organizers.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
The workshop will span four hours comprising two parts.
The first part will begin with a short introduction by the workshop organizers, to be followed by position talks by participants, presenting their work on the workshop topic.
The second part will be an interactive session for reflections and outlook.
The following is a framework for the program of the workshop:

Prospective authors should submit their proposals in PDF format through the HCII Conference Management System (CMS). You are welcome to submit your ideas exploring the workshop topics in the form of short papers, research in progress whitepapers, and abstracts.
The contributions to be presented in the context of Workshops will not be automatically included in the Conference proceedings.
However, after consultation with the Workshop Organizer(s), authors of accepted workshop proposals that are registered for the conference are welcome to submit, through the HCII Conference Management System (CMS), an extended version of their workshop contribution to be considered, following further peer review, for presentation at the Conference and inclusion in the “Late Breaking Work” conference proceedings, either in the LNCS as a long paper (typically 12 pages, but no less than 10 and no more than 20 pages), or in the CCIS as a short paper (typically 6 pages, but no less than 4 and no more than 11). The submission deadline for the camera-ready papers (long or short) for the “Late Breaking Work” Volumes of the Proceedings is the 24th of May 2024.
