The 1st Human–AI Interaction Conference
A dedicated venue for the science, design, and practice of how people and AI systems work together.
Why a new conference
Human–AI interaction is already studied at CHI, CSCW, and UIST; at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, and COLM; at ACL, CVPR, and HRI; and at FAccT and AIES. No venue treats it as the central problem.
HAIC is built for work that examines people and AI systems as collaborators in shared activity — the protocols, representations, and mechanisms that make that collaboration work, and the methods that let us measure whether it does.
Frontier capabilities now move substantially within a single publication cycle. HAIC keeps pace through deep participation from the teams building and deploying frontier systems, a dedicated practice and deployment track, and review timelines calibrated to fast-moving capabilities.
Engagement with frontier AI
The program is designed to track foundation models and agentic systems as they are actually built, and to study collaboration on the most capable systems available rather than yesterday’s.
Translational impact
Moving findings into deployed systems across industry, science, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and public services — and bringing deployment lessons back into research.
Topic areas
Collaborative Intelligence & Teaming
How people and AI divide the work and the authority between them, and how a person keeps meaningful oversight of behavior that runs long or carries real risk.
Ethics, Safety & Societal Impact
Who gains and who loses as these systems enter workplaces and institutions, and what kind of oversight lets one be deployed safely without stalling it.
Interfaces, Techniques & Interactive Systems
Interaction past the chat box: direct manipulation, shared representations of state and intent, sensing and context, and the toolkits people build them with.
Evaluation, Methodology & Theories
How to tell whether a human–AI system actually works. Measures for collaboration quality, and studies that run long enough and close enough to real use to find out.
Human–AI Collaboration in Scientific Discovery
Research itself as a site of collaboration, from forming a hypothesis to running an autonomous lab and vouching for what comes out of it.

Program
Alongside the main technical program, HAIC runs a practice and deployment track and an in-person doctoral consortium.
Doctoral Consortium
The HAIC Doctoral Consortium provides structured, in-person mentoring for PhD students working at the intersection of HCI and AI — a stage at which research creativity is often highest but institutional support is weakest.
What the consortium commits to
- Recruiting students from institutions across all states and regions, not only major research hubs, with decisions based on the quality and promise of the student’s research
- Pairing students with mentors from academia and industry
- Dedicated sessions on research careers and funding pathways across academia and industry
- Travel support for students with financial need, subject to sponsorship
Practice & deployment
A dedicated track for teams shipping human–AI systems. Reports are evaluated on the significance and transferability of their insights rather than research novelty, and may be submitted non-anonymously where organizational identity is intrinsic to the account.
Special sessions convened with agencies, foundations, and industry run alongside the technical program.
Negative results welcome
Deployments that did not work, and what the team learned, are as useful to this community as the ones that did.
