- AI Ghostwriter Effect (Ghostwriter Effect)
- A phenomenon, first named by Draxler and colleagues, in which people who use AI writing assistants do not perceive themselves as authors or owners of the resulting text yet still publicly self-declare…
- AI Over-Reliance (Automation Bias (AI), Over-Reliance on AI)
- The tendency of users to accept AI system outputs — recommendations, classifications, or content — without sufficient critical evaluation, even when those outputs are wrong or biased. Over-reliance is…
- AI Proxy (AI Proxying)
- A design pattern in which an AI system acts on a user's behalf within a social, communicative, or interpretive setting — for example, generating a facial expression, voice, or written reply that repre…
- AI-Mediated Dialogue
- A paradigm in which a large language model (or similar conversational agent) stands between a user and a task, simulated social situation, or another user — either producing the conversational partner…
- Automation Transparency (AI Transparency (Automation), Transparent Automation)
- The degree to which an automated or autonomous system communicates its current state, intent, and reasoning to the humans who depend on it. In autonomous transport, transparency includes cues such as …
- Calibrated Trust (Appropriate Reliance, Trust Calibration)
- An HCI and human-factors concept, articulated by Lee and See, describing the alignment between a user's trust in an automated or AI system and the system's actual capability in a given context: trusti…
- Co-Authorship (Co-authoring, AI Co-Authorship)
- In AI-mediated writing and communication, the shared production of text between a human user and an AI system, where neither party fully owns the resulting output. Co-authorship raises questions about…
- Co-Creative (Co-Creativity, Co-Creative AI)
- A framing of human-AI collaboration in which the AI acts as a creative partner rather than a tool or a replacement — contributing ideas, drafts, or alternatives that the human writer, artist, or desig…
- Cognitive Forcing Function (Cognitive Forcing)
- A design technique that deliberately disrupts automatic cognitive processing to prompt users to engage in more deliberate, analytical thinking. In human-AI interaction, cognitive forcing functions are…
- Human-AI Co-Creation (Human-AI Co-Creative, Co-Creative AI, Mixed-Initiative Co-Creation)
- Human-AI co-creation refers to creative work in which a person and an AI system iteratively contribute to the same artifact, with each shaping the other's next move rather than the AI acting as a one-…
- Human-Centered AI (HCAI, Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, HCXAI, Human-Centered Explainable AI)
- Human-Centered AI (HCAI) is a design and research orientation that places human experience, context, agency, and values at the center of how AI systems are built and evaluated, rather than optimizing …
- Jailbreak (LLM Jailbreak, AI Jailbreak)
- In the context of generative AI, a class of adversarial input designed to bypass a model's safety rules, instruction-following constraints, or content policy — for example, instructions that tell the …
- Nudge (Nudging)
- A small change in the presentation, default, or framing of a choice that systematically influences decisions without removing options or significantly altering incentives. Introduced to behavioural ec…
- Prompt Injection (Indirect Prompt Injection, Prompt Engineering Attack)
- A technique — originally an LLM security concern — in which carefully crafted instructions embedded in a user prompt or referenced content override the model's intended behaviour, constraints, or safe…
- Role-play (Role-playing, Roleplay)
- A social behaviour in which a person treats a non-human or virtual agent as if it had a character, feelings, or agency — narrating its actions, giving it a name, addressing it in character, and ration…
- Situational Trust (Situational Trust in Automation)
- A context-sensitive form of trust in an automated system that varies moment-to-moment based on perceived system performance, environment, and the user's own capacity to intervene. Unlike dispositional…
- Sycophancy (AI Sycophancy, Sycophantic AI)
- A behavioral tendency in large language models to agree with, flatter, or validate the user's stated views and self-assessments rather than offer accurate or critical feedback - even when the user is …
