animal–computer interaction (ACI)
动物-计算机交互（ACI），HCI 的子领域，专门为非人类动物设计、研发并研究交互系统，将动物视为计算系统的用户、利益相关方与协作者。
English Definition
"A subdiscipline of HCI that designs and studies interactive systems for non-human animals, treating animals as users, stakeholders, and collaborators rather than as research subjects."
用法说明 · 针对中文母语者
ACI 强调把动物视为交互的'主体'而非被试；与 HCI 平级但独立。中文常被笼统译为'人机交互'，但在动物场景中应明确区分 ACI 与 HCI。
常见错误
- ·把 ACI 误解为某种机构名缩写（如 Advanced Computing Institute）
- ·认为 ACI 只是'用动物做 HCI 实验'，忽略其独立学科地位

"Hence, agency has emerged as a central pillar of the animal–computer interaction (ACI) discipline [79] and a key theme for the animal-cognition community [15]."
"ACI researchers have introduced technology-based enrichment in zoos, applying user-centred design principles adapted from HCI [17, 44, 76]."
"Our findings challenge certain prevailing assumptions in ACI and animal-behaviour/cognition work – namely, that animals having more control over their life automatically enhances their welfare"
