intelligent user interfaces

An intelligent user interface (IUI) is a user interface for any application (often not AI) that includes some form of AI to help the user during their interaction with the system. A simple example is data detectors that recognise that an email message is about an event and offer to add a calendar entry. Note here that the underlying applications (email and calendar) are not in themselves intelligent, but intelligence is being used to make life easier for you as a user. It is also possible to have an AI system that does NOT have an intelligent user interface, for example using a terminal and text editor to write python code. The field can be traced back to the 1960s, with various workshops through the late 1980s and early 1990s and the the ACM IUI Conference which began in 1993.
