This workshop aims to develop a new perspective on AI governance in HRI by investigating possible connections with Value-centered Design. The rapid development of AI and machine learning has enabled various types of HRI applications in the fields including domestic service, healthcare and military. Accordingly, it is important that we carefully think about AI governance to maintain an appropriate balance between technological innovation and regulation.  However, the development of regulatory rules often fall behind emerging technologies, especially when it comes to AI and robotics. To close this gap, we propose introducing design into AI governance. At the level of design thinking, the workshop are interested in stakeholders’ value acquisition, cross-cultural influence, and the harmonization of law with other social norms. In regard to design methods, our interests include, but are not limited to Ethically Aligned Design and Social System Design. Our intended audience is HRI researchers who have experiences in technological development, and those who have an interest in policy issues and ELSI studies in AI and robotics. We expect to welcome 30-40 attendees via a half-day workshop. 

During the first part of the workshop, some of the organizers, the invited speakers, and the participants will give each talk (~15mins). The rest of the workshop will be followed by discussions and design mapping activities.  As a result of the workshop, we will plan to make a report on emerging themes and agenda in the HRI, design and public policy communities.
