Abstract
This Special Interest Group (SIG) explores the transformative impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on Human-Computer
Interaction (HCI) research processes. The theme here is to answer “question zero”: when to use and when to refrain from using AI
tools during the research cycle? The discussion is guided by five research phases commonly used in HCI: paper planning, prototyping,
data collection, analysis and synthesis, and dissemination and communication. We investigate how GenAI accelerates project cycles,
enhances reproducibility, and influences inclusivity in research. We also address the challenging ethical considerations about the
ownership of generated content. Our goal is to build a community of HCI enthusiasts to harness the early advantages of the recent
groundbreaking technology and foresee challenges arising from its prevalence in the scientific community.
