Breaking Down Silos: Involving Various Researchers for Driving HCI Research

Ethical, legal and social implications of HCI research require a safe system for encouraging rational dialogue between ICT and social sciences and humanities researchers. However, involving researchers from various fields remains challenging, owing to the silo formed by researchers' diversified values. The authors are forming an interdisciplinary network, called Acceptable Intelligence with Responsibility (AIR), to build a prototype system that will help researchers become aware of different senses of values, to preventively deepen their discussions. By introducing the example of AIR research policy and field study, we expect that our concept and practice will serve a beneficial bridge for HCI and SSH researchers.
