Draft:AI Assisted UI

{{AfC submission/draft}}

AI-Assisted UI involves the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to support the creation, evaluation, and optimization of user interfaces (UI). It aims to streamline the design process, improve usability, and enhance accessibility for users.{{cite journal|url=https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/itp-07-2022-0519/full/html|title=Artificial Intelligence (AI) for User Experience (UX) Design: A Systematic Literature Review|journal=Information Technology & People |date=January 2023 |volume=37 |issue=6 |pages=2324–2352 |publisher=Emerald Publishing|doi=10.1108/itp-07-2022-0519 |last1=Stige |first1=Åsne |last2=Zamani |first2=Efpraxia D. |last3=Mikalef |first3=Patrick |last4=Zhu |first4=Yuzhen }}

Applications

AI technologies are applied in various aspects of UI design:

  • Automated Design Generation: AI can create user interface components and layouts by analyzing user input or design datasets.{{cite arXiv|id=2406.13631|title=On AI-Inspired UI-Design|eprint=2406.13631 |last1=Wei |first1=Jialiang |last2=Courbis |first2=Anne-Lise |last3=Lambolais |first3=Thomas |last4=Dray |first4=Gérard |last5=Maalej |first5=Walid |date=2024 |class=cs.HC }}
  • User Interaction Analysis: AI systems evaluate user behavior to optimize UI elements and workflows.{{cite journal|title=AI in User Interface Design and Evaluation|journal=IEEE|date=2023 |doi=10.1109/MITP.2023.3267139 |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10124012 |last1=Grigera |first1=Julián |last2=Espada |first2=Jordán Pascual |last3=Rossi |first3=Gustavo |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=20–22 }}
  • Accessibility Features: AI adapts user interfaces to address accessibility challenges, ensuring inclusivity for diverse user groups.{{cite journal|url=https://www.userinterviews.com/ai-in-ux-research-report|title=AI in UX Research Report 2024|publisher=User Interviews}}
  • Prototyping and Testing: AI assists in creating design prototypes and simulating user scenarios for testing and refinement.{{cite book|id=2312.11190|title=Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology|chapter=VisionTasker: Mobile Task Automation Using Vision Based UI Understanding and LLM Task Planning |date=2024 |doi=10.1145/3654777.3676386 |arxiv=2312.11190 |last1=Song |first1=Yunpeng |last2=Bian |first2=Yiheng |last3=Tang |first3=Yongtao |last4=Ma |first4=Guiyu |last5=Cai |first5=Zhongmin |pages=1–17 |isbn=979-8-4007-0628-8 }}

Advantages

AI-assisted UI design offers potential benefits:

  • Efficiency: It reduces repetitive tasks, allowing designers to focus on creative aspects.{{cite arXiv|id=2406.13631|title=On AI-Inspired UI-Design|eprint=2406.13631 |last1=Wei |first1=Jialiang |last2=Courbis |first2=Anne-Lise |last3=Lambolais |first3=Thomas |last4=Dray |first4=Gérard |last5=Maalej |first5=Walid |date=2024 |class=cs.HC }}
  • Personalization: AI customizes interfaces based on user preferences and behaviors.{{cite journal|title=AI in UX Research Report 2024|url=https://www.userinterviews.com/ai-in-ux-research-report}}
  • Data-Driven Insights: AI provides analytics to guide design decisions.{{cite journal|url=https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/itp-07-2022-0519/full/html|title=Artificial Intelligence (AI) for User Experience (UX) Design: A Systematic Literature Review|journal=Information Technology & People |date=January 2023 |volume=37 |issue=6 |pages=2324–2352 |publisher=Emerald Publishing|doi=10.1108/itp-07-2022-0519 |last1=Stige |first1=Åsne |last2=Zamani |first2=Efpraxia D. |last3=Mikalef |first3=Patrick |last4=Zhu |first4=Yuzhen }}

Challenges

The adoption of AI in UI design comes with challenges:

  • Data Dependency: AI tools require large and high-quality datasets to function effectively.{{cite arXiv|id=2402.06089|title=AI Assistance for UX: A Literature Review Through Human-Centered AI|eprint=2402.06089 |last1=Lu |first1=Yuwen |last2=Yang |first2=Yuewen |last3=Zhao |first3=Qinyi |last4=Zhang |first4=Chengzhi |author5=Toby Jia-Jun Li |date=2024 |class=cs.HC }}
  • Ethical Considerations: Transparency and fairness in AI-driven decisions are ongoing concerns.{{cite journal|url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10124012|title=AI in User Interface Design and Evaluation|journal=IEEE|date=2023 |doi=10.1109/MITP.2023.3267139 |last1=Grigera |first1=Julián |last2=Espada |first2=Jordán Pascual |last3=Rossi |first3=Gustavo |volume=25 |issue=2 |pages=20–22 }}
  • Complexity: Integrating AI into the design process may require specialized skills and tools.{{cite arXiv|id=2402.06089|title=AI Assistance for UX: A Literature Review Through Human-Centered AI|eprint=2402.06089 |last1=Lu |first1=Yuwen |last2=Yang |first2=Yuewen |last3=Zhao |first3=Qinyi |last4=Zhang |first4=Chengzhi |author5=Toby Jia-Jun Li |date=2024 |class=cs.HC }}
