With humans interacting with AI agents more regularly, there is a need to examine human-AI interactions to design them purposefully. Thus, we draw on existing AI use cases and perceptions of human-AI interactions from 25 interviews with practitioners to elaborate on these interactions. From this practical lens on existing human-AI interactions, we introduce nine characteristic dimensions to describe human-AI interactions and distinguish five interaction types according to AI agents’ characteristics in the human-AI interaction. Besides, we provide initial design guidelines to stimulate both research and practice in creating purposeful designs for human-AI interactions.10 pagesengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalApplications of Human-AI Collaboration: Insights from Theory and Practiceartificial intelligencedesign guidelineshuman-ai interactioninterview studytext10.24251/HICSS.2022.024
