The recent surge in large language model (LLM) development has reached a tipping point, making AI increasingly useful in everyday life for broader audiences. Understanding how humans interact with AI systems and building practical applications will become crucial in the coming decades. This course will introduce fundamental concepts and ideas underlying modern human-AI interaction design. We will cover topics from human-computer interaction and machine learning literature, including human-centered design, prompt engineering, and multi-agent systems. Students will engage in hands-on activities and assignments, ranging from producing AI-assisted media content to building a custom chatbot. They will undertake a semester-long project focused on creating and evaluating AI-driven interactive applications.
