CHI 2026 Workshop Human-Agent Collaboration
The CHI 2026 Workshop on Human-Agent Collaboration explores the design and study of Large Language Model (LLM) agents as remote collaborators, drawing on CSCW and HCI research to address gaps in mutual awareness, shared accountability, and mixed-initiative interaction. The workshop aims to establish a research agenda that integrates theoretical foundations with novel interaction paradigms while critically examining risks such as privacy, trust miscalibration, and anthropomorphization.
Paper fit
Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Participatory form

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions must follow ACM Master Article Submission Templates (single column)
- References do not count toward the 2–4 page limit
- Submissions are managed via OpenReview and undergo lightweight review focusing on idea quality and diversity of perspectives

- Accepted papers will be published online on the workshop website and may be included in a digital proceedings volume
- Workshop registration is not required separately from CHI registration
