As intelligent systems increasingly shape our environments, behaviors, and decision-making, the question of human agency becomes more pressing than ever. In addition to the classical transdisciplinary engineering topics, this year’s conference especially invites transdisciplinary perspectives to explore how design - integrated with engineering, marketing, psychology, and humanities - can reinforce autonomy, emotional well-being, and ethical engagement in complex socio-technical systems. From theoretical to practical perspectives, we seek contributions that reimagine intelligent futures where humans are not only present - but empowered.
