Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems evolve, the synergy between humans and intelligent technologies is becoming central to innovation across various domains. Human–AI collaboration aims to leverage the strengths of both human cognition and machine intelligence, resulting in enhanced decision-making, creativity, productivity, and problem-solving capabilities. This Special Issue seeks to explore emerging technologies, theoretical frameworks, practical applications, and interdisciplinary approaches that enable effective collaboration between humans and AI.
We invite original research, case studies, and review articles covering the following topics: co-creative AI systems; human-in-the-loop learning; explainable and trustworthy AI; adaptive interfaces; AI-augmented decision support; human–robot interaction; collaborative autonomous systems; and human–AI teaming. Contributions from fields including computer science, cognitive science, HCI, robotics, and psychology are encouraged.
By bringing together diverse perspectives and innovations, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how humans and AI can effectively collaborate in real-world environments ranging from education and healthcare to manufacturing, finance, and various creative industries.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Giovanni Delnevo
Guest Editor
