Colloquium: Human-AI Interaction for the Future of Work, Dr. Marios Constantinides (CYENS Centre of Excellence, Cyprus), Thursday, March 20, 2025, 19:15-20:15 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Human-AI Interaction for the Future of Work
 |
Speaker: Dr. Marios Constantinides |
Abstract:
In this talk, I will present a series of projects that aim at augmenting workplace experience through AI tools that not only improve employees' productivity, but also account for their emotional and psychological experience. Taking meetings as a common workplace activity, I will demonstrate how the use of mobile and wearable sensing technologies allows us to tap into employees' emotional states, assess their environment, and understand communication patterns that impact their experience. As these technologies have already been (or are likely to be) introduced in the workplace, it is of equal importance to understand their ethical considerations. I will conclude the talk by providing a framework for identifying morally wrong workplace technologies and, more broadly, for developing AI tools in a responsible way.
Short Bio:
Dr. Marios Constantinides is a senior research scientist at the CYENS Centre of Excellence, Cyprus, an honorary lecturer at University College London (UCL), UK, and a special teaching scientist at University of Cyprus. He brings over six years of industrial research experience, having held positions at Nokia Bell Labs in Cambridge, UK, and Telefónica in Barcelona, Spain. He was also a research fellow at the University of Cambridge. His research interests revolve around human-computer interaction (HCI), ubiquitous computing, software engineering, machine learning (ML), data science, and responsible AI. Specifically, he works in the area of human-centered AI, leveraging mobile- and wearable-sensing with the aim of building technologies that augment the ways people interact and communicate in a responsible way. Marios holds a PhD from UCL, where his work intersected HCI and ML, as well as a MSc in Software Systems Engineering from the same institution, and a BSc in Computer Science from University of Cyprus. His research has been published in leading HCI conferences and general science journals, and his projects have received international media coverage, featuring in outlets such as the BBC, the Economist, the Times, and Fast Company.
