Designing User Interfaces and User Experiences with AI: Future Tools, Workflows, and Practices
This one-day workshop aims to facilitate collaboration among researchers from various sub-disciplines of HCI, bridging the gaps between HCI and adjacent fields such as machine learning (ML), computer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), and software engineering. We welcome participants working on research and applications of AI in UI/UX design tooling and practices, from both industry and academia. The primary goal is to encourage discussions regarding the future potential and requirements of computational approaches for user interfaces.
We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute in the following formats to participate in the workshop:
A 4–6 page position paper in the double-column CHI Extended Abstract format (excluding references), or
A video demo of less than 10 minutes can be submitted if the main idea can be more easily conveyed in this format.
Submissions will undergo a peer-review process, with each reviewed by at least two committee members or organizers. Selection will be based on quality and relevance. Participants should follow the instructions on the website and submit their position papers via email at user.interface.workshop@gmail.com.
Submissions can cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
AI Integration in UI/UX Design and Development Tools:
Insights on integrating AI into design and development tools, focusing on datasets and models that enhance workflows by automating tasks, generating design suggestions, and optimizing layouts. Submissions should explore the benefits and best practices for AI integration while preserving designers’ and developers’ creative input.
Agency and Creative Control in AI-Enhanced Workflows:
Strategies for integrating AI into prototyping workflows without compromising designer and developer agency. Emphasis is on methods that keep human control central while enhancing creativity and efficiency.
Safety Considerations in UI Automation:
Studies on safety and privacy challenges in AI-driven UI automation, focusing on risks like unintended actions and security vulnerabilities. Submissions should propose guidelines for safe AI implementation in design.
AI-Driven UI Evaluation Techniques:
AI methods for evaluating UIs, including predictive modeling, user interaction analysis, and large-scale usability testing. Approaches that offer actionable insights to improve design performance are encouraged.
Enhancing Designer-Developer Handoff with AI:
Insights into AI tools that streamline the designer-developer handoff, reducing manual effort and improving collaboration. Submissions should address how AI can facilitate smoother transitions from design to development.
We will recruit researchers and practitioners in this field as program committee members to review submissions. Accepted papers will optionally be available on the workshop website with the authors' consent. At least one author of each accepted position paper must register for and attend the workshop, either in person or remotely.
Authors of accepted position papers will have about 8 minutes to present their work, followed by an additional 2-minute Q&A.
