AI-Mediated Self: How HCI Defines and Relates to the Self
This scoping review analyzes 102 papers to examine how the self is defined in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), how AI-self relationships are conceptualized, and what risks emerge when AI becomes entangled with selfhood.

Key points
- How might AI alter how we understand and experience the self?
- First, we define AI-mediated self as a conceptual umbrella that connects dispersed work across education, workplace, health, and creative practices.
- Second, we consolidate six framings of the self with four domains of ethical risk-agency/autonomy, identity/authorship, relational capacity, and meaning-making-into a conceptual map that provides a reusable vocabulary across contexts.
- Third, we introduce the Inclusion of AI-Self framework, which situates AI-self relationships along a spectrum of proximity.
