Human-AI Collaborative Interaction Design: Rethinking Human-Computer Symbiosis in the Age of Intelligent Systems

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.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Multimodal Technologies and Interaction is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
