Workshop Schedule

📅 Time and Venue

• Monday 13 April, 2:15 PM – 3:45 PM
• Venue: P1 – Room 128

Please aim to arrive a few minutes early so we can get started on time — we only have 90 minutes and we want to make the most of it.

🗓️ What to Expect

This is a fully hands-on workshop — there are no presentations or talks. From the moment we start, we will be working in small groups through three activities:

• Welcome and ‘Bias Bingo’ icebreaker (10 mins)
• Activity 1: Mapping cognitive biases across human-AI interaction scenarios + critically reflections (20 mins)
• Activity 2: Brainstorming (wild!) design interventions — mitigating biases and (controversially) leveraging heuristics (30 mins)
• Activity 3: What’s missing and what should come — setting a research agenda (20 mins)
• Closing notes: Surfacing key patterns and reflections as a group (10 mins)

📝 Notes

Your laptop and charger — you will need them to contribute to the Miro board during activities.

The workshop is open-door this year, so feel free to invite colleagues or fellow CHI attendees who might find the topic relevant.

Please also note: the workshop is in-person only — there is no hybrid or remote participation option. If something comes up and you’re unable to attend, we’ll share the finalised Miro board with you afterwards so you can still review what the group produced.

📚 Come Prepared: Bias Clusters and Provocation Scenarios

We are sharing a bias ‘cheat sheet’ to help you think about the different categories of biases that can exist in human-AI interactions. First, a reading on the key cognitive bias clusters we’ll be drawing on during the workshop. Buster Benson’s Cognitive Bias Cheat Sheet is a great orienting resource that organises the landscape of biases around four core problems our brains are trying to deal with:

• Too Much Information
• Not Enough Meaning
• Need to Act Fast
• Memory Limitations

We’ll be using these clusters explicitly during Activity 1, so it’s worth having them in mind. You can read the full piece here: https://buster.medium.com/cognitive-bias-cheat-sheet-55a472476b18

There is an updated community-sourced version of the bias clusters too: https://bias.transhumanity.net/act-fast/

Second, we have prepared a set of provocative scenario cards – designed to get you thinking about where and how these biases surface in human-AI interactions (and what can be done about them in terms of better understanding, mitigating, and leveraging them).
