Abstract

The third workshop on Explainable AI for the Arts (XAIxArts) continues to bring together and expand a community of researchers and creative practitioners in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, AI, explainable AI (XAI), and Digital Arts to explore the role of XAI for the Arts. XAI is a key concern of Responsible and Human-Centred AI, emphasising the use of HCI techniques to explore how to make complicated and opaque AI models more understandable to people. The previous workshops moved from mapping the landscape of XAI for the Arts to co-developing an XAIxArts manifesto. To continue driving discourse on XAIxArts, the anticipated outcomes of this workshop are: i) fresh insights into the evolving challenges of AI bias, lack of transparency and barriers to inclusivity through discussion of current and emerging XAIxArts practices; ii) co-developed speculative futures which expand XAIxArts discourse beyond post-hoc rationalisations of AI decisions into the imaginative possibilities of AI as an interlocutor in the creative process; iii) plans for a co-developed proposal of an edited book on XAIxArts; and iv) community expansion and engagement in wider discourses on Responsible and Human-Centred AI.
