On Non-Verbal Behavior and Embodiment in Human-AI Communication

Date:

3 September 2025 - 4 September 2025

Location:

Center for Advanced Studies Seestr. 13 80802 Munich

Workshop organized by Dr. Philipp Wicke (CAS Researcher in Residence/LMU).

As Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve, particularly with the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs), there is a growing need to go beyond purely textual interactions and embrace the richness of human communication, including non-verbal cues like gestures, facial expressions and body language. Key themes of the workshop are the role of embodied cognition in AI understanding, cultural variations in gesture interpretation, and the integration of gestures into LLMs.

Participants include Giulia Belgiovine (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia), Sven Mayer (LMU), Alex Binh Vinh Duc Nguyen (KU Leuven), Tessa Verhoef (Leiden), Marta Ziosi (Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative).

Philipp Wicke is CAS Researcher in Residence during the summer semester 2025.
