What If Artificial Intelligence Become Completely Ambient in Our Daily Lives? Exploring Future Human-AI Interaction through High Fidelity Illustrations

Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) has become prevalent in users' daily lives, it is becoming critical for HCI designers to envision and design future human-AI interactions. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of exploring user-centered future design directions before implementing a technology in users' lives. However, it is challenging for HCI designers to envision the societal impact of future technology that does not exist and understand potential users' perceptions. Therefore, to comprehensively envision future human-AI interactions and their impact and elicit potential users' perceptions of the future technologies, we created high-fidelity illustrations with designers and illustrators for immersive experience. Subsequently, through an online exhibition of these illustrations, we derived potential users' perceptions, expectations, and concerns about the future. Based on our findings, we explored user-centered considerations for implementing AI in users' daily lives through elaborately articulated human-AI interactions.
