Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advancement of generative AI, adaptive systems, and intelligent interfaces, the paradigm of human-computer interaction is shifting toward a model of greater collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence. This Special Issue focuses on human-AI collaborative interaction design, with the aim of exploring the ways in which design methods, system architectures, and user experiences are being redefined in this new era of human-machine co-evolution.
We welcome research that investigates AI-assisted creativity, user perceptions of algorithmic agency, ethical dimensions of human-AI collaboration, and system transparency. Interdisciplinary approaches that combine design research, behavioral science, and computational methods are particularly encouraged. Topics may include adaptive interfaces, co-creative tools, human-in-the-loop systems, and the role of AI literacy in shaping user empowerment and interaction effectiveness.
