Call for Papers
HAXD 2027 — Naples, Italy · June 14-16, 2027
Scope
Designing for Agency: Human Control in an AI-Driven World
Artificial intelligence has become deeply embedded in our daily lives, transforming how we work, learn, manage our health, and interact, enjoy entertainment, and engage with public services. As AI systems grow more sophisticated and pervasive, the quality of human-AI interaction emerges as the critical factor determining whether these technologies truly benefit users and society.
HAXD 2027 focuses on the design and experience of human-AI interaction examining not just what AI can do, but how people actually interact with these systems and what experiences result from these interactions. We are interested in understanding and improving the full spectrum of user outcomes: usefulness, usability, trust, cognitive workload, user satisfaction, safety, fairness, accessibility, and long-term societal impact.
The conference welcomes research and design work spanning diverse AI technologies including foundation models, conversational agents, recommendation systems, computer vision and speech interfaces, interactive machine learning systems, and emerging AI paradigms. We welcome submissions that consider the full diversity of users, from researchers to practitioners, multilingual communities, cross-cultural populations, and people with disabilities. Similarly, we embrace work across all environments where human-AI interaction occurs: homes, workplaces, educational settings, healthcare contexts, civic technologies, creative tools, social platforms, and emerging application domains.
We welcome submissions concerning how humans and AI systems communicate, collaborate, and co-create value together. Whether you are designing new interaction paradigms, evaluating existing AI experiences, developing methodologies for AI usability research, or exploring the societal implications of AI interaction design, we want to hear about your work — and to build, together, a community committed to making AI more human-centered, inclusive, and genuinely beneficial as it grows more powerful.
