Ben Shneiderman – “Human-Centered AI”

Greetings People Centered Internet (PCI) Community members: Our next PCI Community call will be Sunday 28th of August at 11:30 AM ET GMT-5 featuring

Ben Shneiderman will be our guest speaker this Sunday 28 August.

We’re grateful to have Ben join us again and unpack highlights from his new book: Human-Centered AI (2022) – “The remarkable progress in algorithms for machine and deep learning have opened the doors to new opportunities, and some dark possibilities. However, a bright future awaits those who build on their working methods by including HCAI strategies of design and testing. As many technology companies and thought leaders have argued, the goal is not to replace people, but to empower them by making design choices that give humans control over technology.”
