Workshop on Human Centric AI
The ENFIELD Workshop on Human-Centric AI took place on 9 September 2025, at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Central Library.
About the Workshop
As AI systems are increasingly used to support decision-making in complex and dynamic environments, ensuring that these systems are understandable, trustworthy, and aligned with human values remains a critical concern.
Organized by the ENFIELD project: European Lighthouse to Manifest Trustworthy and Green AI, the workshop focused on exploring the integration of AI-based decision systems into organizations, with a strong emphasis on transparency, accountability, and human oversight.
The event showcased work carried out within the ENFIELD research project while also welcoming contributions from other research projects, initiatives, and interdisciplinary efforts addressing challenges in human-centered artificial intelligence. The workshop brought together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to share insights, methodologies, and case studies that advance human-AI collaboration, explainability, and trust.
Key areas of focus included:
- Novel explainable AI methods for decision-making
- Methodologies for evaluating human-AI shared decision-making
- Interpretable data-driven decision support systems
- Societal impacts of AI-aided decision-making
In addition to advancing research and interdisciplinary solutions, the workshop facilitated exchanges and collaboration while reflecting on the implications and future directions of research on human-centered AI.
