If explainability is a social practice and not merely a technical property, then it requires people who can request, understand, evaluate, and contest explanations. This special session explores how these abilities can be fostered through education, interaction, and design.

The focus is on Critical XAI Literacy, Critical Big Data and Algorithmic Literacy, and Critical Computational Literacy: competencies that help people understand explanations while also questioning their limits, biases, underlying data, and infrastructural conditions.

Topics

  • Social, situated, and critical XAI literacy
  • Pedagogical approaches and scaffolding strategies
  • Critical data literacy and datafication
  • Power, justice, and exclusion in XAI
  • Aesthetic and material scaffolds for literacy
  • AI imaginaries and images of intelligent systems
  • Case studies from education, diagnostics, and decision-making
  • Methods for assessing critical literacies

Submission

  • Short abstract: max. 2 pages including references, plus 4–5 keywords
  • Accepted contributions will be published in the proceedings of the 4th TRR 318 Conference.
