HCI KOREA 2025 Invited Papers Program
from 2024 SIGCHI-sponsored Top Conferences
2024 SIGCHI 우수 학회 논문 초빙 세션
This special program, organized by the SIGCHI Korea Local Chapter—a branch of ACM SIGCHI, the largest international academic community in the HCI field—features 15 papers presented at prominent international SIGCHI conferences in 2024. These papers were led by domestic institutions in South Korea, reflecting institutional diversity.
During the program, the authors of the selected papers will present their work in English, followed by real-time Q&A programs, aiming to recreate the atmosphere of the original international conferences where these papers were originally presented.
The goal of this program is to share the outstanding research achievements of HCI researchers in Korea at the international forefront during 2024 with the HCI Korea Society, fostering dynamic discussions and collaborative opportunities.

Title: Participatory AI
Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to impact every aspect of our lives, it is crucial to ensure that its development aligns with the priorities and values of diverse communities and users. In this talk, I will present several case studies in which our research team explores different methods to i) understand the priorities and preferences of stakeholders such as gig workers, community members, and policymakers and ii) incorporate these insights into the design of AI systems, ranging from labor platforms to urban air mobility infrastructure. Drawing from these case studies, I will share reflections on the opportunities and challenges of participatory AI.
Bio: Min Kyung Lee is an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. She has been a director of a Human-AI Interaction Lab since 2016. She is affiliated with UT Austin Machine Learning Lab—one of the first NSF funded national AI research institutes, Good Systems—a UT Austin 8-year Grand Challenge to design responsible AI technologies, and Texas Robotics. Previously, she was a research scientist in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Lee has conducted some of the first studies that empirically examine the social implications of algorithms’ emerging roles in management and governance in society. She has extensive expertise in developing theories, methods and tools for human-centered AI and deploying them in practice through collaboration with real-world stakeholders and organizations. She developed a participatory framework that empowers community members to design matching algorithms that govern their own communities. Her current research is inspired by and complements her previous work on social robots for long-term interaction, seamless human-robot handovers, and telepresence robots. Dr. Lee is a Siebel Scholar and has received the Allen Newell Award for Research Excellence, research grants from NSF and Uptake, and eight best paper awards and honorable mentions and two demo/video awards in venues such as CHI, CSCW, DIS, HRI and MobiSys. She is an Associate Editor of Human-Computer Interaction and served as a Senior Associate Editor of ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction from 2017-2023. Her work has been featured in media outlets such as the New York Times, New Scientist, Washington Post, MIT Technology Review and CBS. She received a PhD and a MS in Human-Computer Interaction and an MDes in Interaction Design from Carnegie Mellon University and a BS from KAIST. Dr. Lee is an aspiring explorer. She hiked in 25 national parks in 5 countries, and skied in the U.S., Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, Japan, and Korea.
