In this Proseminar, we discuss research results from the field of Human Computer Interaction with a focus on computer science. In recent decades, this area has changed extensively, mainly through technological innovations. We primarily consider these changed interactions between one or more people and one or more computers.

This time we will focus specifically on interactions with large language models (LLMs). We will explore new ways that these tools allow us to interact with technology. We will also consider the implications of generative AI for users and society at large.

In this course, we will cover a selection of important paper on pioneering work in HCI. Each semester, the focus of the more recent work might change. Each week, one student will present one important approach, and we will discuss it in class. Within presentations students have to introduce the assigned readings, will discuss them in context and will derive new, possible topics. Articles are chosen because they describe either a specific sub-­-area, represent the first article in a specific area, or introduce different approaches in the area.
