The Role of Design in the Future of Human-AI Interaction
Janin Koch, Wendy E. Mackay, Albrecht Schmidt · 2025
As AI systems increasingly shape human experiences in work, communication, and decision-making, the way we design interactions with these systems plays a critical role in ensuring ethical, transparent, and human-centered AI.However, HCI and design researchers are often underrepresented in AI teams and discussions.Hence, this workshop explores the future of design in Human-AI Interaction (HAI) by addressing key challenges such as explainability, trust, job augmentation, social AI, and sustainability.Through interactive discussions and hands-on design sprints, participants will prototype AI interfaces that foster trust, inclusivity, and responsible AI usage.We will reflect on how design practice will change over the next decade as well as how design and HCI methods can address these challenges for shaping an AI-powered future that enhances rather than replaces humans.
