In recent years, the field of explainable AI (XAI) has produced a vast collection of algorithms, providing a useful toolbox for researchers and practitioners to build XAI applications. With the rich application opportunities, explainability is believed to have moved beyond a demand by data scientists or researchers to comprehend the models they develop, to an essential requirement for people to trust and adopt AI deployed in numerous domains. However, explainability is an inherently human-centric property and the field is starting to embrace human-centered approaches. Human-computer interaction (HCI) research and user experience (UX) design in this area are becoming increasingly important. In this chapter, we begin with a high-level overview of the technical landscape of XAI algorithms, then selectively survey our own and other recent HCI works that take human-centered approaches to design, evaluate, and provide conceptual and methodological tools for XAI. We ask the question "what are human-centered approaches doing for XAI" and highlight three roles that they play in shaping XAI technologies by helping navigate, assess and expand the XAI toolbox: to drive technical choices by users' explainability needs, to uncover pitfalls of existing XAI methods and inform new methods, and to provide conceptual frameworks for human-compatible XAI.

  2. XPlainVerse: A Million-Scale Benchmark for Explainable Deepfake Detection

    cs.CV 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    A million-scale deepfake benchmark with Edit-Check filtering, dual expert/lay explanations, and EntityScore/EvidenceScore shows fine-tuned detectors collapse under generator shift while surface fluency remains.

  3. Secure human oversight of AI: Threat modeling in a socio-technical context

    cs.CR 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

  7. Mind the XAI Gap: A Human-Centered LLM Framework for Democratizing Explainable AI

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An in-context LLM framework that produces dual expert and non-expert explanations, evaluated on well-being clustering with a user study and LIME-alignment metrics.

  8. Importance of User Control in Data-Centric Steering for Healthcare Experts

    cs.HC 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Healthcare experts who manually adjusted training data improved a diabetes prediction model more than those using automated corrections, without losing trust or understanding.

  9. Fostering Appropriate Reliance on Large Language Models: The Role of Explanations, Sources, and Inconsistencies

    cs.HC 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Explanations increase user reliance on both correct and incorrect LLM answers, while sources and inconsistent explanations reduce overreliance on incorrect answers in a controlled experiment.

  10. Beyond Explainable AI (XAI): An Overdue Paradigm Shift and Post-XAI Research Directions

    cs.CY 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    cs.HC 2025-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Five browser-side design patterns (rewriter, integrity meter, feed curator, micro-withdrawal, recovery mode) aim to give users control over social feeds through an explainable AI intermediary, with evaluation still pending.

  12. AIAP: A No-Code Workflow Builder for Non-Experts with Natural Language and Multi-Agent Collaboration

    cs.HC 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A no-code workflow builder with hidden multi-agent decomposition yields positive usability scores, but the study does not support the claim of significant improvement.
