Human AI Interaction (E) (WP)*

Master

The participants:
• can explain the basic principles of human-AI interaction and can apply them to modern AI systems such as LLMs, chatbots, agents and decision-making systems
• can analyze user needs, tasks and usage contexts when working with AI
• can develop interaction models and UX patterns for AI systems
• can analyze the distribution of human-machine roles and can design different areas of application
