Abstract Submission

Guidelines

We ask you to submit one A4 page as a PDF. You can structure it however you like—more like a classic abstract, a short position piece, a mini‑proposal, or something more visual. Figures are welcome. The only requirements are that it fits on a single A4 page, and that it contains at least 250 words of text.

​

Abstracts should touch upon how the presentation will answer (one of) the three main questions of the workshop:

​​

• How will society be impacted by synthetic relationships in 5-10 years?

• Which theories will remain relevant to this topic?

• For which aspects of synthetic relationships do we need new theories?

​

We invite researchers from all career-stages to present their work and their vision/answers on the above. Examples of research work (not exhaustive):

​

• AI as a tool (e.g., writing assistants, search engines)

• Agents in the home (e.g., smart speakers, wearables, and smart appliances)

• Mental well-being and chatbots

• Emotional attachment to artificial partners

• Embodied AI (e.g., robots and virtual agents)

​

If you are unsure if your work fits the scope of the workshop, please submit anyway!​​
