------

THE WORKSHOP

"Human-AI teaming" has become one of the most widely invoked concepts in AI=
 research, design, and policy, yet the questions underneath it are largely =
unresolved. Rather than asking whether "teaming" is the right term, this wo=
rkshop asks a more generative question: what work does the teaming construc=
t actually do, and for whom?

For researchers it may frame coordination and division of labor. For design=
ers it may suggest interaction structures beyond simple tool use. For end-u=
sers it may set expectations, helpful or misleading, about agency, accounta=
bility, and trust. We bring together researchers from HCI, cognitive scienc=
e, clinical studies, and AI to examine the concept's functions and limits, =
compare it against alternatives like augmentation, delegation, and scaffold=
ing, and work toward a more precise vocabulary for expert-AI collaboration.

The workshop is a full day of keynotes, paper feedback sessions, group disc=
ussion, and structured brainstorming.
