Paper in proceeding, 2025
This hands-on workshop will explore the potential implementa-tions of human-agent interaction and mental health, with a specificfocus on virtual companions. To achieve this, we will be using de-sign fiction to anticipate individual, societal, ethical, and culturalimplications.
