This undergraduate project course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of Human-AI Interaction, where intelligent systems are designed and evaluated from a human-centered perspective. The course focuses on applying foundational concepts from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the development of novel, interactive systems.

The project is divided into two phases:

• Introductory phase: Students work on short, hands-on mini-projects to explore tools, frameworks, and core techniques relevant to Human-AI Interaction. In parallel, students read, present, and discuss research papers to build a shared understanding of current challenges and opportunities in the field. This literature-based discussion helps generate ideas and critically frame their own project directions. Topics may include adaptive systems, intelligent interfaces, multimodal interaction, and user modeling.
• Main project phase: Students define, implement, and evaluate a more complex interactive system. Projects may involve multimodal input, adaptation to user behavior, or interfaces that respond to physiological or contextual signals. Students are responsible for the full development cycle, including ideation, prototyping, iterative refinement, and evaluation through user testing or performance metrics.

Throughout the course, students present their progress regularly, receive feedback from peers and instructors, and reflect critically on the relationship between technical implementation and user experience.

By the end of the course, students will understand core concepts in Human-AI Interaction and user-centered system design. They will be able to analyze and discuss relevant research literature to inform the design of intelligent interactive systems. Through hands-on group work, students will design and implement functional prototypes that integrate basic AI components, and plan and conduct evaluations using user studies or technical assessments. In addition, they will develop skills in presenting and documenting their work, and collaborate effectively within teams, including giving and receiving constructive peer feedback.

Prerequisite for module completion: 

1. Development of the project in the second phase, documentation, and presentation of the results, including a demonstration video
2. Demonstrations of the tasks from the first phase

Prerequisite (2) must be completed before prerequisite (1).
