| 13:30-14:30 | Generative AI in HCI - Opportunities, Issues and Challenges | The aim of the panel is to present the pros and cons of Generative AI (GenAI, or LLMs) across different areas to encourage relfection, debate, and engagement. Many people in HCI (and more widely) have not really engaged with it, others are panicking, others are exploring the opportunities it offers. We will focus on the human element - how it changes human capabilities, what impact it has on education, creativity, work and play, what challenges it presents, what the ethical issues are, what the policy and societal implications are. The idea is to air and identify issues, opportunities and challenges, not to solve them. We aim to raise awareness, understanding and relevance of GenAI especially in our discipline, where the nature of interaction, the role of human and computer, and the societal implications are all hugely affected. | Russell Beale, Mark Blythe, Ben Cowan, Alan Dix, Daniel J.
