HAMI 2026 – The 2026 International Workshop on Human-AI Interaction on Mobile Devices

Mobile devices have become the most pervasive and intimate interface for human–AI interaction. From intelligent assistants and copilots to emotionally aware conversational agents, AI systems increasingly collaborate with users in highly contextual, time-critical, and resource-constrained mobile settings. These interactions foreground fundamental Human–AI Interaction (HAI) concerns, including how agency and control are shared between humans and AI, how AI systems communicate intent, confidence, and uncertainty through mobile interfaces, and how context, situation, and embodiment influence usability, trust, and overall user experience.

The 2026 International Workshop, co-located with HAXD 2026 Conference – The International Conference on Human-AI Interaction and Experience Design, aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who place human–AI interaction at the center of mobile AI system design. The workshop emphasizes interaction paradigms, human factors, adaptive behavior, and experience design, rather than AI algorithms alone.

Interdisciplinary Focus
We encourage perspectives spanning HCI, AI, UX design, psychology, visualization, and applied domains to foster comprehensive understanding of mobile human-AI interaction.
Real-World Context
We seek contributions that investigate how humans interact with AI systems on mobile devices in real-world, situated contexts, addressing practical challenges and opportunities.
Design-Centered Approach
Our goal is to foster focused discussion on design principles, interaction models, evaluation methods, and emerging challenges for mobile human-AI interaction.

We seek contributions that investigate how humans perceive, collaborate with, supervise, and are supported by AI systems on mobile devices, especially in real-world, situated contexts. The workshop encourages interdisciplinary perspectives spanning HCI, AI, UX design, psychology, visualization, and applied domains.

Our goal is to foster a focused discussion on design principles, interaction models, evaluation methods, and emerging challenges for mobile human-AI interaction, bridging theory, empirical studies, and practical systems.
