Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with creativity and human-centered design principles is at the forefront of reshaping user experiences across digital platforms. This Special Issue of Information invites contributions exploring how AI-driven creativity can enhance human-centered design practices to create more personalized, immersive, and engaging user experiences. AI offers innovative tools for designers, enabling the generation of creative solutions, personalized interfaces, and adaptive systems that respond dynamically to user needs and contexts.
Human-centered design, grounded in empathy and user experience principles, ensures that AI applications are developed with the user’s needs and values at the core. This Special Issue aims to explore how AI can augment design processes, fostering creativity while prioritizing user well-being, accessibility, and emotional engagement. It seeks contributions that discuss AI tools and methodologies, such as generative design, machine learning, and data-driven insights, and their impact on enhancing user satisfaction, accessibility, and interaction.
The Special Issue also emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining design thinking, AI technology, and user psychology to drive innovation in digital environments. By addressing current research trends, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI can facilitate the creation of user experiences that are not only functional but also emotionally resonant and ethically sound. We invite papers that explore the convergence of AI and human-centered design, focusing on applications in areas such as immersive technologies, personalized UX, and AI-powered creativity.
