The 12th AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP 2024) will be held from October 16-19th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, and will particularly focus on the theme of ''Responsible Crowd Work for Better AI.'' We invite a wide range of works that will generate new insights into the role of human intelligence and input in the age of LLMs and generative AI, workflows for human-AI collaboration and teaming, the quality (or values) of human-annotated datasets, including elements such as reliability and replicability of human computation and crowdsourcing experiments, holistic approaches to deal with bias, fairness, and interpretability, and novel metrics for aggregation of results.

HCOMP is the home of the human computation and crowdsourcing community. HCOMP is a cross-disciplinary conference that combines human-centered methods and traditional computer science to address fundamental issues in human computation and crowdsourcing elements that play a pivotal role in the shaping of many AI systems and applications today. HCOMP fosters an inclusive atmosphere that encourages active participation from both industry and academia, students and senior researchers and practitioners, to share their expertise, collaborate, and advance the field's frontiers. As such, it brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas such as artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, psychology, economics, social computing, machine learning, information retrieval, databases, and systems.

HCOMP began as a workshop in 2009, and after 4 successful meetings, it became a conference in 2013. Now in its 12th edition, HCOMP has created a vibrant intellectual community for those seeking to advance and apply human computation and crowdsourcing methods.

Your generous sponsorship will directly support to:

• make the conference more accessible by keeping registration fees affordable for academic researchers, especially students,
• invite keynote speakers,
• help organize social events that play a vital role in community building,
• support conference logistics.
