Everything on AI Interaction Design

AI interactions should be designed to preserve user cognitive agency, particularly in learning contexts. By positioning the AI as a tutor that extracts knowledge from the user rather than simply providing answers, productive struggle and long-term retention are reinforced.

Impact: Enhances learning outcomes and user engagement by encouraging active participation and critical thinking, rather than passive consumption of AI-generated content.
