The eighth WUD Leipzig took place on November 14 at the Paulinum of Leipzig University, attracting nearly 200 participants. Experts, students, and enthusiasts discussed the importance of user-centered design for a sustainable and inclusive future. Richard Bretschneider kicked off the thematic segment with his keynote, “All Creatives Are Going Extinct – GenAI Wins,” humorously and informatively exploring the impact of generative AI on the music business.

Throughout the day, engaging talks followed. Danny Hucke and Tina Marschner from IT Sonix presented their experiment, “Replace Me If You Can,” in which they, as a software developer and UX designer, competed with AI tools to develop a web application. Dominique Winter from Produktwerker demonstrated how conversational AIs can enhance user retention through personalization and politeness. Ravi Kanth Kosuru from Fraunhofer IAO showcased how neurophysiological interfaces enable technologies for people with diverse abilities. Oliver Singler from Bauhaus University Weimar emphasized the role of human factors in creating fair and safe traffic systems. Margarita Osipova and Urszula Kulon, also from Bauhaus University Weimar, addressed women’s safety in smart cities and body image representations on e-commerce platforms. Holm Hänsel from Jambit concluded the event with his talk, “Generative UI,” discussing the automatic creation of interfaces through algorithms.
