User Interface (UI)
A user interface encompasses all elements a user interacts with: text inputs, buttons, visual displays, and voice interfaces. In AI applications, UI design determines how users submit queries, review AI outputs, provide feedback, and control AI behavior.
Well-designed AI UIs must handle uncertainty (showing confidence levels), errors (hallucination corrections), and user control (editing outputs). Conversational interfaces like ChatGPT popularized chat-based UI patterns for AI interaction.
