Workshop on Mental Models in Human-AI Interaction
The MM/AI 2027 workshop, co-located with ACM IUI 2027 in Helsinki, focuses on critically reassessing how mental models are understood and studied in human-AI interaction, particularly in the context of generative and agentic AI systems. It aims to foster theoretical and methodological exchange to address challenges in eliciting and analyzing mental models and to define future research directions.
