AI dominates the news and drives social media. It has already shown its value in diverse areas including pharmaceuticals and mathematics and is still accelerating. My book on AI for human-computer interaction is only just being published and yet the developments since it was finalised have been substantial, creating further challenges for individual human–AI interaction design. However, the impact of AI extends far beyond its individual applications. It is changing the very structure of society, culture, economics and warfare as well as potential existential dangers for humankind as a whole and the global environment. We must think not only about human–AI interactions, but the way AI interacts with humanity as a whole. Some of the response to this is global and political, but as researchers we have a part to play. However, this extends beyond individual researchers or disciplines requiring rapid and integrated approaches across diverse areas of computing as well as social sciences and humanities. Only together can we enable, encourage and empower truly humane AI interaction.
