Cultures of participation have emerged as a consequence of the shift from consumer cultures, where people are mainly passive recipients of artifacts and systems, to producer cultures, in which users are actively involved in the design and development of solutions to their problems [1]. This requires exploring related challenges and providing users with socio-technical environments to create their own artifacts, possibly smoothly developing new skills. The workshop series aims at involving researchers and practitioners in the discussion of the above topics, by presenting their research and sharing ideas on a specific edition theme [2][3][4][5][6]. This volume collects papers accepted and presented at the CoPDA 2022 workshop, held on June 7, 2022 in Frascati (Italy), co-located with the International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2022). The main theme of this edition is “AI for Humans or Humans for AI?” to reflect on the role of Human-Centered Design (HCD) in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) age. More precisely, the workshop explored the relationship between AI, aimed at replacing human beings, and Intelligence Augmentation (IA), focused on empowering human beings in their daily life and work. Balancing between these two perspectives means designing the collaboration between humans and computers, going beyond traditional human-centered design. This will foster meaningful work, creativity, and learning, by improving at the end people’s quality of life. An extended description of the workshop is included in the main conference volume [7].
