SUMMARY:Bridging AI and Behavior Change (ABC)
DESCRIPTION:MediaFutures director professor Christoph Trattner together with an international team organises a bridge event at the world leading AI conference AAAI in Singapore next January. Read how you can submit a paper below. \nThe event Bridging AI and Behavior Change (ABC) brings together the AI and behavioral science communities to address the urgent need for responsible\, explainable\, and effective behavior-aware technologies. With the rapid rise of LLM\, generative AI\, reinforcement learning\, and agentic systems capable of shaping human decisions\, this bridge aims to establish common ground between technical innovation and behavioral science theories of decision-making\, nudging\, and motivation. Their objective is to catalyze sustained collaboration across AI\, psychology\, behavioral economics\, digital health\, sustainability\, and public policy\, enabling the design of ethical and transparent interventions for health\, well-being\, sustainability\, and civic engagement. \nKey themes include:\n\npersonalization vs. public interest\nboundaries of responsible nudging\nintervention design and adaptive/optimal treatment assignment\nevaluation frameworks for long-term behavior change\, habit formation\, and mental health/wellness\nbias and equity in algorithmic decision-making\nethics\, transparency\, and compliance with emerging regulations (e.g.\, EU AI Act)\ncross-domain applications in health\, sustainability\, education\, social media interventions\, and civic participation\nreinforcement learning for efficient exploration\npsychological science foundations\nand the development of shared protocols\, datasets\, recommender systems\, and explanation frameworks for trustworthy\, behavior-aware AI.\n\nThe ABC Bridge is a 1-day in-person program combining education\, collaboration\, and outreach:\n\nEducation (Morning): Tutorials introducing behavioral science for AI researchers and AI methods for behavioral scientists; a hands-on case lab on AI-driven nudging.\nCollaboration (Afternoon): Paper and poster presentations; debate on “Can AI nudge responsibly without manipulation?”; breakout groups co-developing draft Responsible Nudging Guidelines.\nOutreach (Closing): A plenary summary panel and a motivational talk at the AAAI main conference to communicate the Bridge’s vision and recommendations to the broader AI community.\n\nWe anticipate 30–50 participants\, including AI/ML researchers\, behavioral scientists\, ethicists\, HCI scholars\, public health experts\, and early-career researchers. \nSubmission requirements\nWe invite Short (2–4 pages)\, Long (4–8 pages)\, Vision (4–6 pages)\, Position (2–4 pages)\, and Demo (2–4 pages) papers or extended abstracts highlighting interdisciplinary research\, position statements\, or case studies relevant to responsible AI and behavior change. Submissions will be reviewed by the bridge committee. \nSubmission site information https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=aaai2026abc \nBridge Chair \n\nMehrdad Rostami\, University of Oulu\, Finland – mehrdad.rostami@oulu.fi ·\nChristoph Trattner (University of Bergen\, Norway) – christoph.trattner@uib.no ·\nAlexander Felfernig (Graz University of Technology\, Austria) – alexander.felfernig@tugraz.at ·\nMichael Sobolev (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center / USC\, USA) – msobolev@usc.edu ·\nMourad Oussalah (University of Oulu\, Finland) – mourad.oussalah@oulu.fi
