A "User Experience 3.0 (UX 3.0)" Paradigm Framework: User Experience Design for Human-Centered AI Systems
The human-centered artificial intelligence (HCAI) design approach, the user-centered design (UCD) version in the intelligence era, has been promoted to address potential negative issues caused by AI technology; user experience design (UXD) is specifically called out to facilitate the design and development of human-centered AI systems.

Today, deep in the woods, my phone suddenly stopped being able to access the Internet. First, I've noticed that the browser couldn't reach any website — but well, reception was poor and websites these days… Then, my railway timetable app couldn't fetch timetables. Okay, poor reception, or maybe they have server problems again.
Later, the reception was better for a while, but things still didn't work. Reception quickly jumped back down, so I blamed it again. And again. Finally, I've figured out this is going for far too long.
I've opened #RethinkDNS and it said "No Internet". I've disabled it temporarily, and everything suddenly started working again. Enabled again, everything's broken. WTF?!
I've dug deeper, and it turned out RethinkDNS apparently lost DNS-over-HTTPS connection… and it never figured out to reconnect on its own, or even give me a meaningful diagnostic. I had to figure out to enter DNS settings, and tap the server tile to make it reconnect.
In the end, it was DNS… but also terrible UX in this program.

The paper proposes a model of deep and prolonged eclipses of young stars of the UX~Ori type. Some of these events continue for decades and existing models cannot explain them. Our paper shows that such eclipses can be caused by the falling of gas and dust clump from the remnants of the protostellar cloud onto the protoplanetary disk.
