HAIC 2025 - Preface to the First Workshop on Human-AI Collaborative Systems

In recent years, Human-AI Collaborative Systems (HAIC) has emerged as a key research frontier, with the aim of leveraging the complementary strengths of humans and artificial intelligence. Research in this area has demonstrated the potential of HAIC systems in a variety of fields, including healthcare, creative arts, finance, manufacturing, and education. These systems not only improve problem-solving and performance, but also enable novel forms of human–machine co-creation and decision-making. The HAIC workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum to explore these challenges and opportunities, fostering dialogue between communities towards a general framework for the design, evaluation and implementation of next-generation human-AI collaborative systems.
