        abstract = {As a foundational innovation activator, artificial intelligence has started businesses, creating a new direction for product development to one that is consumer-driven, participatory, and inclusive. User-centric AI design is an approach of integrating human values and understanding of context and participation in the development of an AI system in order to align with users' values and expectations. This review presents a discussion towards theoretical frameworks, application, and evidence of the consequences associated with user user-centered approach in the development of AI products. It analyses existing architectural models, performance benchmarks, and ethical considerations in order to outline the advantages of incorporating user input in the AI lifecycle. It points out methodological gaps, catches the best practices, and suggests routes for future research to develop the adaptive, transparent, and equitable AI systems.},
