The Design Space of Generative Models

Meredith Ringel Morris, Carrie J. Cai, Jess Holbrook, Chinmay Kulkarni, Michael Terry

Card et al.'s classic paper "The Design Space of Input Devices" established the value of design spaces as a tool for HCI analysis and invention. We posit that developing design spaces for emerging pre-trained, generative AI models is necessary for supporting their integration into human-centered systems and practices. We explore what it means to develop an AI model design space by proposing two design spaces relating to generative AI models: the first considers how HCI can impact generative models (i.e., interfaces for models) and the second considers how generative models can impact HCI (i.e., models as an HCI prototyping material).
