Abstract

This report provides insights into the challenges, emerging topics, and opportunities related to human-data interaction and visual analytics in the AI era. The BigVis 20241 organizing committee conducted a survey among experts in the field. They invited the Program Committee members and the authors of accepted papers to share their views. Thirty-two scientists from diverse research communities, including Databases, Information Visualization, and Human-Computer Interaction, participated in the study. These scientists, representing both industry and academia, provided valuable insights into the current and future landscape of the field.
