Call for papers: UK Academy for Information Systems (UKAIS) 2027

Human-Computer Interaction is undergoing a substantial shift. Once centred primarily on usability, interfaces, and task performance, the field now addresses a wider set of interactions between people and intelligent, immersive, embodied, and increasingly autonomous technologies. This track places responsible AI at the centre of contemporary HCI inquiry — spanning human-centred AI, extended reality, spatial and multisensory interaction, digital and societal twins, ubiquitous computing, and cross-device ecosystems, while engaging with broader concerns of trust, inclusion, sustainability, safety, and governance.

The track welcomes empirical, conceptual, methodological, and design science contributions using qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, and design-oriented approaches. Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to submit.

Indicative topics include:

• Human-centred AI and user experiences: usable, explainable, and adaptive interaction
• Ethical design of relational AI (chatbots, voice assistants, digital humans, humanoid robots)
• Trust, transparency, and anthropomorphism in human–AI interaction
• Synthetic media, deepfakes, and information integrity
• Extended reality, spatial computing, and immersive interaction
• Digital twins, societal twins, and hybrid human–system environments
• Gamification, motivation, and behavioural design
• Inclusive, accessible, and sustainable design
• Responsible AI innovation and governance in VR/AR platforms
