GAI 4th: Human-Centered Design and Interaction

Amidst the rapid transformations unfolding in the world of artificial intelligence, Generative AI has emerged as one of the pillars of the new digital revolution. With its capacity to produce creative content that mirrors human thought and behavior, this book presents a comprehensive conceptual and research-driven vision that integrates the technical capabilities of generative AI with the principles of human-centered design. The book highlights how the design of generative AI systems can be aligned with human needs—ensuring that these technologies are not merely tools, but active partners in creativity, interaction, and decision-making. It addresses fundamental issues related to user experience, ethics, cultural contexts, and social implications, aiming to shape a future in which technology is built around humans—not the other way around. This work is the result of the efforts of author Leaster Startx, produced under the guidance and support of the Center for Ethical AI Design (CEAD) in 2025, as an academic contribution that opens a window for researchers and practitioners to deeply understand the future of human interaction with content-generating systems.
