What is AI?
A brief discussion of the meaning of the term artificial intelligence.
AI for Human–Computer Interaction
Artificial intelligence and human–computer interaction are both ubiquitous in digital products and services. This video looks at some of the points of intersection. On the one hand AI can be used in HCI to help create better interfaces or help in the design process. On the other hand effective HCI is essential in the creation of many AI-rich products and also to create better tools for those developing AI systems.
Designing User Interactions with AI: Servant, Master or Symbiosis
Talk at The AI Summit London, 22nd Sept. 2021.
All AI ultimately affects people, in some cases deeply buried, in others interacting directly with users whether physically, such as autonomous vehicles, or virtually, such as recommender systems. In these interactions AI may be a servant, such as Alexa operating on command; or AI may be the master, such as gig-work platforms telling workers what to do. However, potentially the most productive interactions are a symbiosis, human and AI complimenting one another. Designing human-in-the-loop systems changes the requirements of both AI algorithms and user interfaces. This talk will explore some of the design principles and examples in this exciting area.
