Abstract: The rapid development of artificial intelligence is driving society toward a new era of human-AI interaction (HAII) and reshaping a new generation of minors growing up with AI—Generation AI. This paper reviews the origins and evolution of human-computer interaction (HCI), examining the shift from HCI to HAII, and focuses on the unique traits of Generation AI in this context. By analyzing the interaction modes and characteristics of Generation AI, the study reveals their distinctive attributes in HAII scenarios, including intelligent perception, social contention, and digital embedding across all settings, timeframes, and environments. Finally, the paper envisions the future of human-AI synergy for Generation AI from three perspectives: human-centered design, multimodal interaction, and augmented collaboration, providing a theoretical foundation for building a smart and human-centered society.
