What we do at hci+d lab.

The hci+d lab. conducts research on the following topics.

Human-AI Interaction

Human-AI Interaction (HAI) is an interdisciplinary field that aims to create AI systems that can effectively collaborate with and assist humans. We combine knowledge from human-computer interaction, AI, cognitive science, and social psychology to develop AI that enhances human capabilities, with a focus on societal AI and conversational agents.

Social Computing

Social Computing examines the interplay between social behavior and technology, focusing on how people interact with and through computing systems. We combine computer science, social sciences, and other fields to develop technologies and predictive models that support social interactions and collaborations in digital spaces.

AI Journalism

AI Journalism is a new field that applies AI to assist journalists and media organizations. We aim to use AI to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and quality of journalism while considering the ethical implications. The hci+d lab researches robot journalism, which involves automated article generation and AI-based fact-checking systems.
