I’m excited to announce my involvement in two upcoming EICS conferences: I’m co-chairing the EICS 2026 Doctoral Consortium together with Fabio Paternò from CNR-ISTI, Italy, and Nikos Avouris, and I will be a general co-chair together with Célia Martinie for EICS 2027.
We got a workshop paper accepted, presenting the initial work of Gilles Eerlings et al. We explore how model multiplicity can be a potential answer to reduce overtrust in AI, as well as avoid undertrust. Still a lot of work that lies ahead, but this seems like a promising direction.

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in interactive systems has led to significant challenges in model integration, but also end-user-related aspects such as over- and undertrust. This paper explores how multiple AI models with the same performance and behavior but different internal workings—a phenomenon called model multiplicity—affect system integration and user interaction. We discuss the implications of model multiplicity for transparency, trust, and operational effectiveness in interactive software systems.
We will be organizing a workshop on Engineering Interactive Systems Embedding AI Technologies at the EICS 2024 conference – Tuesday June 24th or June 25th 2024 in Caglieri, Italy. Submissions welcome.
Together with Carmen Santoro I edited the PACMHCI EICS issue, with papers presented at EICS 2023.
