Abstract

Personas have successfully supported the development of classical user interfaces for more than two decades by mapping users' mental models to specific contexts. The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications makes it necessary to create new approaches for future human-AI interfaces. Human-AI interfaces differ from classical human-computer interfaces in many ways, such as gaining some degree of human-like cognitive, self-executing, and self-adaptive capabilities and autonomy, and generating unexpected outputs that require non-deterministic interactions. Moreover, the most successful AI approaches are so-called "black box" systems, where the technology and the machine learning process are opaque to the user and the AI output is far not intuitive. This work shows how the personas method can be adapted to support the development of human-centered AI applications, and we demonstrate this on the example of a medical context. This work is-to our knowledge-the first to provide personas for AI using an openly available Personas for AI toolbox. The toolbox contains guidelines and material supporting persona development for AI as well as templates and pictures for persona visualisation. It is ready to use and freely available to the international research and development community. Additionally, an example from medical AI is provided as a best practice use case. This work is intended to help foster the development of novel human-AI interfaces that will be urgently needed in the near future.

AI Explanation Understanding from User’s Perspective in Healthcare Application
Retno Anisa Larasati

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems being implemented everywhere, including in healthcare, the interaction with AI embedded system is inevitable. However, modern AI algorithms are complex and difficult to understand. There are different types of user that possibly interacting with AI healthcare application: Medical Professional (doctor), AI/Machine Learning (ML) Experts (system developer), and Laypeople (patient). The lack of meaningful and usable user interfaces for XAI makes it hard to effectively assess the impact of explanation on end-users, which furthers hinder our capability to test hypothesis and advance our understanding of this complex research field. In this abstract, we are trying to investigate how users, especially non-expert users, understand an explanation given by an AI application, and recognise possible room of improvement

Generating user personas with AI: Reflecting on its implications Generating user personas with AI: Reflecting on its implications for design for design
Vanessa Sattele Gunther

DRS2024: Boston, 2024

The aim of this research is to analyze and expose risks associated with using AI tools such as Large Language Models and Text to Image Models to create user personas, and initiate a discussion about their application in design practice. First, a model is presented comparing the traditional user research approach with an AI persona generation method. Through a case study involving the creation of personas within the context of Mexico City, a critical analysis is conducted, revealing biases. Possible causes and risks for design practice and education are discussed, as well as potential benefits. Finally, a model for scalability of AI personas and generation of design ideas is presented. The significance of these findings shows the importance for design research to question how AI tools work.

Human Centered Artificial Intelligence: Weaving UX into Algorithmic Decision Making
Jennifer Boger

2019

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing many industries as intelligent systems assist humans with algorithmic decision making, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, chatbots and robotics. Deep learning has been a key development that has helped propel the widespread interest in AI. Given AI is becoming more prevalent and maybe regarded as the new 'electricity', it is imperative that human needs, interests and values are centered around all future AI developments. Given Human Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers created user centered design principles and practices based on human factors psychology, they are best placed to work with AI engineers to establish Human-Centered AI (HAI) or Human-AI interaction solutions. This paper presents the challenges that would provide HAI solutions, including the need for explainable AI (XAI) in algorithmic decision making and the need to mitigate automation bias which is when humans over trust and accept computer-based advice. Other ethical HAI challenges are outlined including algorithmic bias and ethical chatbots as well as a discussion on the likely democratisation of AI with the aid of end-user machine learning. The challenges that are discussed herein need addressed in order to properly calibrate humanmachine trust and to provide a responsible basis for the future of human-machine symbiosis.

AI Healthcare System Interface: Explanation Design for Non-Expert User Trust
Anna De Liddo

2021

Research indicates that non-expert users tend to either over-trust or distrust AI systems. This raises concerns when AI is applied to healthcare, where a patient trusting the advice of an unreliable system, or completely distrusting a reliable one, can lead to fatal incidents or missed healthcare opportunities. Previous research indicated that explanations can help users to make appropriate judgements on AI Systems’ trust, but how to design AI explanation interfaces for non-expert users in a medical support scenarios is still an open research challenge. This paper explores a stage-based participatory design process to develop a trustworthy explanation interface for non-experts in an AI medical support scenario. A trustworthy explanation is an explanation that helps users to make considered judgments on trusting (or not) and AI system for their healthcare. The objective of this paper was to identify the explanation components that can effectively inform the design of a trustworthy ex...

Re-examining Whether, Why, and How Human-AI Interaction Is Uniquely Difficult to Design
John Zimmerman

Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays an increasingly important role in improving HCI and user experience. Yet many challenges persist in designing and innovating valuable human-AI interactions. For example, AI systems can make unpredictable errors, and these errors damage UX and even lead to undesired societal impact. However, HCI routinely grapples with complex technologies and mitigates their unintended consequences. What makes AI different? What makes human-AI interaction appear particularly difficult to design? This paper investigates these questions. We synthesize prior research, our own design and research experience, and our observations when teaching human-AI interaction. We identify two sources of AI's distinctive design challenges: 1) uncertainty surrounding AI's capabilities, 2) AI's output complexity, spanning from simple to adaptive complex. We identify four levels of AI systems. On each level, designers encounter a different subset of the design challenges. We demonstrate how these findings reveal new insights for designers, researchers, and design tool makers in productively addressing the challenges of human-AI interaction going forward.

Human-Computer Interaction and AI
Daniel Russell

Extended Abstracts of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

AI and ML are now essential parts of many systems that are currently being built. What should CHI practitioners know about the possibilities and potential drawbacks of building AI systems? Understanding the human side of AI/ML based systems requires understanding both how the system-side AI works, but also how people think about, understand, and use AI tools and systems. This course will cover what AI components and systems currently exist, how to design and build usable systems with AI components, along with how the mental models of AI/ML tools operate. These models lead to user expectations of how AI systems function, and ultimately, to design guidelines that avoid disappointing end-users by accidentally creating unintelligible AI tools. We'll also cover the ethics of AI, including data collection, algorithmic and data fairness considerations, along with other risks of AI.

Rethinking and reinventing Artificial Intelligence from the perspective of human-centered computational artifacts
Gerhard Fischer

Advances in Artificial Intelligence, 1995

Many research efforts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have focused on replacing rather than augmenting and empowering human beings. We have developed human-computer collaboration environments to demonstrate the power and the possibilities of Intelligence Augmentation CIA) with human-centered computational artifacts. A focus on IA instead of AI requires different conceptual frameworks and different systems. Our theory is centered around shared representations of context and intent for understanding, mixed-initiative dialogs, management of trouble, and integration of working and learning. Our system building efforts exploit the unique properties of computational media rather than mimicking human capabilities. We have developed (i) specific system architectures including a multifaceted architecture characterizing the components of design environments, and a process architecture for the evolutionary development of such environments, (ii) specific modules such as critiquing systems, and (iii) a variety of design environments for specific application domains.

SimCoach: an intelligent virtual human system for providing healthcare information and support
Alfio Rizzo

International Journal on Disability and Human Development, 2011

Over the last 15 years, a virtual revolution has taken place in the use of Virtual Reality simulation technology for clinical purposes. Shifts in the social and scientific landscape have now set the stage for the next major movement in Clinical Virtual Reality with the "birth" of intelligent virtual humans. Seminal research and development has appeared in the creation of highly interactive, artificially intelligent and natural language capable virtual human agents that can engage real human users in a credible fashion. No longer at the level of a prop to add context or minimal faux interaction in a virtual world, virtual humans can be designed to perceive and act in a 3D virtual world, engage in spoken dialogues with real users and can be capable of exhibiting human-like emotional reactions. This paper will present an overview of the SimCoach project that aims to develop virtual human support agents to serve as online guides for promoting access to psychological healthcare information and for assisting military personnel and family members in breaking down barriers to initiating care. The SimCoach experience is being designed to attract and engage military Service Members, Veterans and their significant others who might not otherwise seek help with a live healthcare provider. It is expected that this experience will motivate users to take the first step -to empower themselves to seek advice and information regarding their healthcare and general personal welfare and encourage them to take the next step towards seeking more formal resources if needed.

Engagement with Artificial Intelligence through Natural Interaction Models
özge nilay yalçın

2017

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems become more ubiquitous, what user experience design paradigms will be used by humans to impart their needs and intents to an AI system, in order to engage in a more social interaction? In our work, we look mainly at expression and creativity based systems, where the AI both attempts to model or understand/assist in processes of human expression and creativity. We therefore have designed and implemented a prototype system with more natural interaction modes for engagement with AI as well as other human computer interaction (HCI) where a more open natural communication stream is beneficial. Our proposed conversational agent system makes use of the affective signals from the gestural behaviour of the user and the semantic information from the speech input in order to generate a personalised, human-like conversation that is expressed in the visual and conversational output of the 3D virtual avatar system. We describe our system and two application spaces we are using it in-a care advisor / assistant for the elderly and an interactive creative assistant for uses to produce art forms. Artificial Intelligence. Natural user interfaces. Voice systems. Expression systems. ChatBots.

Artificial Intelligence for Humankind: A Panel on How to Create Truly Interactive and Human-Centered AI for the Benefit of Individuals and Society
Wendy Mackay

Human-Computer Interaction – INTERACT 2021, 2021

This panel discusses the role of human-computer interaction (HCI) in the conception, design, and implementation of human-centered artificial intelligence (AI). For us, it is important that AI and machine learning (ML) are ethical and create value for humans-as individuals as well as for society. Our discussion emphasizes the opportunities of using HCI and User Experience Design methods to create advanced AI/MLbased systems that will be widely adopted, reliable, safe, trustworthy, and responsible. The resulting systems will integrate AI and ML algorithms while providing user interfaces and control panels that ensure meaningful human control.

Guidelines for Human-AI Interaction
Shamsi Iqbal

Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2019

Advances in artifcial intelligence (AI) frame opportunities and challenges for user interface design. Principles for human-AI interaction have been discussed in the human-computer interaction community for over two decades, but more study and innovation are needed in light of advances in AI and the growing uses of AI technologies in human-facing applications. We propose 18 generally applicable design guidelines for human-AI interaction. These guidelines are validated through multiple rounds of evaluation including a user study with 49 design practitioners who tested the guidelines against 20 popular AI-infused products. The results verify the relevance of the guidelines over a spectrum of interaction scenarios and reveal gaps in our knowledge, highlighting opportunities for further research. Based on the evaluations, we believe the set of design guidelines can serve as a resource to practitioners working on the design of applications and features that harness AI technologies, and to researchers interested in the further development of guidelines for human-AI interaction design. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); • Computing methodologies → Artifcial intelligence. * Work done as a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research.

Designing and Managing Human-AI Interactions
Iris Junglas

Information Systems Frontiers

A plethora of submissions to this Special Issue showed that while AI is increasingly being embedded in information systems with potentially severe consequences for humans, including medical diagnostics (McKinney et al., 2020), floorplan design (Khang, 2021), job recruitment (Dastin, 2018), art (Ramesh et al., 2022), credit scoring (Wang et al., 2019), and autonomous vehicles (Grigorescu et al., 2019), the social aspects of interactions between humans and AI systems remain under-researched. This is surprising given IS's rich tradition as a discipline in theorizing and studying both the technical elements as well as the human aspects in designing and managing complex systems (Beydoun et al., 2019; Dwivedi et al., 2015). Artificial Intelligence (AI), described as non-human intelligence that is flexible and autonomous enough to understand and learn from data to achieve specific outcomes (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2019), has reached-and even surpassed-the ability of humans in multiple domains (Arrieta et al., 2020;

Realizing AI in Healthcare: Challenges Appearing in the Wild
Tariq Andersen

Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2021

The last several years have shown a strong growth of Artifcial Intelligence (AI) technologies with promising results for many areas of healthcare. HCI has contributed to these discussions, mainly with studies on explainability of advanced algorithms. However, there are only few AI-systems based on machine learning algorithms that make it to the real world and everyday care. This challenging move has been named the "last mile" of AI in healthcare, emphasizing the sociotechnical uncertainties and unforeseen learnings from involving users in the design or use of AI-based systems. The aim of this workshop is to set the stage for a new wave of HCI research that accounts for and begins to develop new insights, concepts, and methods, for transitioning from development to implementation and use of AI in healthcare. Participants are invited to collaboratively defne an HCI research agenda focused on healthcare AI in the wild, which will require examining end-user engagements and questioning underlying concepts of AI in healthcare.

Automating Data Personas for Designing Health Interventions
Yunus Dogan Telliel, Qiming Shi

2023

In user experience (UX) research, persona development can be particularly beneficial in designing digital health interventions. From our previous work, we identified challenges that diabetic patients face in adhering to guidelinerecommended care through persona development. We developed data personas from Electronic Health Records (EHR) using two-step clustering and combined them with proto personas that were generated by a group of medical experts for the same patient population. Not only did our results prove beneficial for intervention design, but also highlighted fairness issues that may result from the underrepresentation of certain populations in EHR datasets. In our current paper, we validate the results of our prior work and we extend our previous work on persona development to build a model that can automatically associate a patient record to its representative data persona. The model was built using the results of the two-step clustering as the inputs. We believe that building such a model will help clinicians quickly trace new patient records to already developed personas, thereby assisting in immediate health interventions based on the health risk characteristics of the patient.

    Digital Transformation in Smart Farm and Forest Operations Needs Human-Centered AI: Challenges and Future Directions
    Christoph Gollob

    Sensors

    The main impetus for the global efforts toward the current digital transformation in almost all areas of our daily lives is due to the great successes of artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular, the workhorse of AI, statistical machine learning (ML). The intelligent analysis, modeling, and management of agricultural and forest ecosystems, and of the use and protection of soils, already play important roles in securing our planet for future generations and will become irreplaceable in the future. Technical solutions must encompass the entire agricultural and forestry value chain. The process of digital transformation is supported by cyber-physical systems enabled by advances in ML, the availability of big data and increasing computing power. For certain tasks, algorithms today achieve performances that exceed human levels. The challenge is to use multimodal information fusion, i.e., to integrate data from different sources (sensor data, images, *omics), and explain to an expe...

    Systematic review of co-design in digital health for COVID-19 research
    Muneer Nusir

    Universal Access in the Information Society

    Improving the quality of digital health care through information and communication technology can mainly contribute to the clinical, social, financial, and economic systems' success, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The co-design approach, which unleashes the end-user power, can contribute actively in improving the healthcare systems. It deals with understanding the user behaviors, requirements, and motivations through observation, inspection, task analysis, and feedback techniques. Consequently, both the co-design and digital technologies might empower the management of patients' health and that of their families. The research strategy is based on a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to summarize how the co-design methodologies handled the existing technology-based health systems for their improvement. Based on the findings, we establish the following hypotheses: (i) A user-centered methodology for service implementation might offer a promising tool to enhance the healthcare services quality before they be launched; (ii) Several limitations can affect the co-design approach in digital health, such as a bias for a patients' group. Efforts have been made to reduce this risk by identifying bias at an early stage, or different groups should be included in the test phase for example; (iii) Use decision-making devices that handle technologies for patient and clinical healthcare solution Keywords Digital health care • Co-design • COVID-19 • Systematic review

    What is Human-Centered about Human-Centered AI? A Map of the Research Landscape
    Margot Brereton

    Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

    The application of Artifcial Intelligence (AI) across a wide range of domains comes with both high expectations of its benefts and dire predictions of misuse. While AI systems have largely been driven by a technology-centered design approach, the potential societal consequences of AI have mobilized both HCI and AI researchers towards researching human-centered artifcial intelligence (HCAI). However, there remains considerable ambiguity about what it means to frame, design and evaluate HCAI. This paper presents a critical review of the large corpus of peer-reviewed literature emerging on HCAI in order to characterize what the community is defning as HCAI. Our review contributes an overview and map of HCAI research based on work that explicitly mentions the terms 'humancentered artifcial intelligence' or 'human-centered machine learning' or their variations, and suggests future challenges and research directions. The map reveals the breadth of research happening in HCAI, established clusters and the emerging areas of Interaction with AI and Ethical AI. The paper contributes a new defnition of HCAI, and calls for greater collaboration between AI and HCI research, and new HCAI constructs. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); HCI theory, concepts and models.
