Human-AI Teaming

Human-AI Teaming: Creating Value Together

Human-AI Teaming (HAIT) views Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) not merely as a tool, but as a dynamic team partner—a system that analyzes, learns, proposes solutions, and collaborates interactively with humans. The goal is a synergistic cooperation where human expertise and AI support mutually reinforce one another.

In our Fraunhofer-certified training program "Human-AI Teaming", participants acquire the necessary knowledge and methodological tools to design GenAI systems that are human-centered, effective, and future-ready. The focus extends beyond technology and interfaces to also include quality, contextual understanding, user involvement, and the organizational embedding of UX expertise.

The training is modular in structure and combines conceptual knowledge with practical application—from the fundamentals of generative AI and usability evaluation to prototyping and strategic integration into product development.

Upon completion, participants will have:

  • In-depth knowledge of designing and implementing GenAI systems aligned with DIN EN ISO 9241 and the EU AI Act
  • The ability to create usable, transparent, and controllable AI interactions
  • Know-how to embed UX principles into processes, roles, and structures
  • Practical experience in prototyping Human-AI scenarios using the Human-AI Teaming Canvas

Why HAIT?
GenAI only achieves its potential when technical capabilities are combined with human comprehension and responsibility. Human-AI Teaming provides the foundation—from concept to organizational implementation.

Optimizing Interaction and Collaboration:
GenAI systems must be designed to complement, not replace, human expertise and be tailored to user needs. HAIT delivers actionable insights and helps reduce decision-making complexity.

Facilitating Adoption through User-Centered Design:
The introduction of GenAI technologies often faces resistance due to lack of understanding, trust, or perceived relevance. HAIT addresses these challenges from the outset using user-centered methods such as workshops and co-creation.

Sustainable Implementation and Growth:
GenAI systems must be integrated into workflows in a way that is both effective and sustainable. Our certification program provides a framework for user training, definition of best practices, and continuous system improvement.
