HAII5.0: Embracing Human-Aware AI in Industry 5.0
                                  Workshop at the 27th European Conference on
                                         Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2024)
                                     19 October 2024, Santiago de Compostela


                                The Workshop
                                The workshop on “Embracing Human-aware AI in Industry 5.0” is designed
                                to delve into the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in the industrial
                                sector, placing emphasis on how AI should reflect and respond to human ac-
                                tivities and demands. As industries worldwide transition into the realms of
                                Industry 5.0, integrating AI technologies becomes not just an asset but a neces-
                                sity. This shift heralds unprecedented opportunities and challenges, where the
                                interplay between human workers and advanced AI systems takes central stage.
                                Our workshop explored this critical intersection, focusing on how AI should be
                                designed, implemented, validated and managed in a human-aware way.
                                    Human-aware AI requires novel solutions that allow humans and machines to
                                collaborate seamlessly within the complexities of the real world, driving sustain-
                                ability, resiliency, and benefits to people and society. In business branches like
                                commerce, the need for human-aware AI is already taken for granted. Indus-
                                try, including product design, manufacturing, aftermarket, maintenance, and
                                all forms of industrial engineering, seems to be lagging behind since the focus
                                for many years has been pure automation. By delving into these topics with
                                a human-aware lens, this workshop will significantly contribute to the ECAI
                                conference, offering scientific discussions that align well with its themes and
                                goals.
                                    For the HAII 5.0 workshop, our objective was to provide a comprehensive
                                platform for participants to gain insights into the current trends, potential ben-
                                efits, and challenges associated with the deployment of AI in the industry in
                                collaboration with and supporting (not replacing) humans — even on a cog-
                                nitive level. The workshop is expected to spark innovative ideas, encourage
                                collaborations, and contribute significantly to advancing human-aware AI in
                                the industrial sector. In the call for papers, particular emphasis was placed on
                                practical applications, challenges, and the latest research findings in the field.
                                Through this workshop, we aspire to shape the future of the industry where AI
                                not only enhances efficiency and productivity but also aligns seamlessly with
                                human needs and values.
                                    Our workshop papers present original work in the area. We feature a series
                                of presentations from the contributing participants, two keynote talks, open


                                                                        1

discussions, and interactive panel sessions led by experts in the field of AI for
Industry 5.0. Submissions cover a wide array of topics, ranging from ethical
considerations and human-AI collaboration to AI-driven process optimisation,
decision support systems, integration of domain and expert knowledge in AI
algorithms, and the future of work on the industrial floor. The workshop format
at ECAI 2024 fosters a multidisciplinary dialogue on how AI can be human-
aware and effectively integrated into various industrial processes by bringing
together academicians, industry professionals, and AI practitioners.
    We would like to thank the reviewers for their intensive work, the authors
for their contributions and ECAI 2024 for giving us the opportunity and this
ideal scientific environment for organising HAII 5.0
