Abstract
This study presents an assessment of the state-of-the-art based on a systematic literature review methodology, focusing on the problematic relationship between User Experience (UX) design, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), and human-centered design. It examines how UX principles and generative AI technologies can be harmoniously integrated to enhance user experiences, prioritizing human needs and values in the design process. The findings reveal significant insights into ethical considerations, user personalization, the importance of human-centric approaches, trust and perception challenges, and advances in human-AI interaction.
