ACM HCOMP is the premier venue for disseminating the latest research findings on human-AI complementarity and alignment. Its community studies and designs systems that combine the complementary strengths of human and artificial intelligence to achieve outcomes neither could achieve alone, in ways that are ethical, safe, and intentional. This research builds on a foundation established by the HCOMP community during its first decade as an AAAI conference series focused on human computation and crowdsourcing.
HCOMP focuses on the emerging science and practice of human-AI complementarity and alignment. As AI systems become increasingly capable, the field is expanding from studying how humans contribute to building these systems to also studying how humans and AI systems work together as complementary partners. This broader perspective situates complementarity and alignment across the full lifecycle of AI systems, from how systems are built and evaluated to how they are used and governed in practice, with attention to how responsibilities are divided, how collaboration evolves over time, and how alignment is achieved and maintained in real-world use. ACM HCOMP is a jointly sponsored conference between SIGWEB and SIGCHI.
