contents As human augmentation technologies evolve, the convergence of AI, robotics, and extended reality (XR) is redefining human potential -- enhancing cognition, perception, and physical abilities. However, these advancements also introduce ethical dilemmas, security risks, and concerns over loss of control. This workshop explores both the transformative potential and the unintended consequences of augmentation technologies. Bringing together experts from HCI, neuroscience, robotics, and ethics, we will examine real-world applications, emerging risks, and governance strategies for responsible augmentation. The session will feature keynote talks and interactive discussions, addressing topics such as AI-enhanced cognition, wearable robotics, neural interfaces, and XR-driven augmentation. By fostering multidisciplinary dialogue, this workshop aims to generate actionable insights for responsible innovation, proposing ethical frameworks to balance human empowerment with risk mitigation. We invite researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to contribute their perspectives and help shape the future of human augmentation.
