REACT Workshop Explores Responsible and Ethical AI in CUI Technologies

The Digital Media Lab Bremen recently hosted the REACT workshop, focusing on Responsible and Ethical AI in Conversational User Interface (CUI) Technologies. Organized by Nima Zargham, Thomas Mildner, and Professor Rainer Malaka, the event brought together a distinguished group of researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, University College Dublin, and Stockholm University.

A highlight of the workshop was the engaging contributions by speakers such as Benjamin Cowan, Minha Lee, and Robert Porzel. Professors Porzel and Malaka, both actively involved in the EU-funded MUHAI (Meaning and Understanding in Human-centric AI) project, offered unique insights into the intersection of AI, responsibility, and conversational technologies.

The workshop fostered transdisciplinary collaboration by bridging perspectives from academia, design, and industry, sparking dynamic discussions and innovative ideas. Attendees explored new pathways for advancing AI research while addressing ethical and responsible approaches in the field.
