Details: Product Description
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.
In Human-Centered AI, Professor Ben Shneiderman offers an optimistic realist’s guide to how artificial intelligence can be used to augment and enhance humans’ lives. This project bridges the gap between ethical considerations and practical realities to offer a road map for successful, reliable systems. Digital cameras, communications services, and navigation apps are just the beginning. Shneiderman shows how future applications will support health and wellness, improve education, accelerate business, and connect people in reliable, safe, and trustworthy ways that respect human values, rights, justice, and dignity.
Review
“does a great job in promoting HCAI, putting human and societal needs center stage in the design and application of AI, and in presenting and discussing several very practical ideas” — Marc Steen, Prometheus
“Your new book, Human-Centered AI, is the most balanced, pragmatic and optimistic analysis of artificial intelligence that I’ve read. You lay out a comprehensive guide to building reliable, safe, and trustworthy applications that feature both high levels of human control and high levels of automation. A critical part of your argument is that if we want to achieve a flourishing and humane future it’s essential for us to understand that computers are not in fact people, and vice versa. ” — John Dalton, Fidelity Center for Applied Technology Newsletter
“The author’s approach could not be more important as a moral and normative position on the development of the field, and should be taken as a starting point for public policy discussion…the book is essential reading and its fundamental argument constitutes a moral imperative.” — David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer
“A focus on developing AI that helps people will dissolve much of the fear of lost jobs and machine control… Few books on AI discuss the importance to good design of applying the right sort of pressure to the corporate owners of AI systems to push them into social fairness. This one does.” — Wendy Grossman, ZDNet
“This book combines persuasive arguments with catchy lists and phrases it also is meticulously researched with extensive citations and well-written for a broad audience” HCI News
“This expert believes we can create AI systems that can have both high levels of automation and human control… Shneiderman provides guidelines covering visual design, previews of expected actions, audit trails, near-miss and failure reviews, and others that can help ensure reliability, safety, and trustworthiness. Basically, by acknowledging the limits of both human and artificial intelligence, designers and developers of automated products can find the right division of labor between humans and AI.” — Ben Dickson, thenextweb.com
“the book [is] especially relevant to AI researchers and developers…Expanding the variety of inputs into AI design will be essential to achieving Shneiderman’s transformative vision of a more human-and humane-future.” — Angelique Taylor, Issues in Science & Technology
“The book is well-structured and a delight to read. The coverage is comprehensive. But it will be controversial. AI scientists and engineers, and anyone concerned about the scientific, social, ethical, legal or philosophical impacts of AI should engage with the theses of Human-Centered AI, even if it is to contest them at times.” — Alan Mackworth, University of British Columbia, Canada
“From design metaphors to the much needed governance structures, this new book by Ben Shneiderman is a tour
