Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The rapid diffusion of generative AI is pushing creative work toward human–AI co-creation (HAIC). This paper designs a conceptual HAIC model that specifies several indispensable elements of effective co-creation: Human, AI, Artifact, Instruction, and Interaction. We demonstrated through a case study of a large-scale management information system development project how the HAIC model helps organizations implement HAIC. The proposed framework offers both an analytical lens for researchers and prescriptive guidance for practitioners seeking to engineer reliable human–AI collaboration.
