Human-Centered AI
The rapid growth in data generated on a day-to-day basis together with the increasing complexity of many of today’s societal challenges require an increasingly knowledgeable and adaptive citizenry and workforce. We face a global demand for new ways of continuously training and reskilling workers, and we need new socio-technical systems to better enable and advance human sensemaking, decision making, creative and analytical thinking, feeling, and doing. New techniques are needed that integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning and data-mining approaches in the service of augmenting human emotion, cognition, and behavior. The Center’s mission is to support progress through increased capacity, productivity, adaptability, participation, and access.
