SUMMARY:“AI For Good” Isn’t Good Enough: A Call for Human-Centered AI
DESCRIPTION:Design@Large\, a quarterly seminar series hosted by the UC San Diego Design Lab\, features distinguished academic and industry speakers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout “AI For Good” Isn’t Good Enough: A Call for Human-Centered AI \nAI for Good initiatives recognizes the potential impacts of AI systems on humans and societies. However\, simply recognizing these impacts is not enough. To be truly Human-Centered\, AI development must be user-centered\, community-centered\, and societally-centered. User-centered design integrates techniques that consider the needs and abilities of end users\, while also improving designs through iterative user testing. Community-centered design engages communities in the early stages of design through participatory techniques. Societally-centered design forecasts and mediates potential impacts on a societal level throughout a project. Successful Human-Centered AI requires the early engagement of multidisciplinary teams beyond technologists\, including experts in design\, the social sciences and humanities\, and domains of interest such as medicine or law\, as well as community members. In this talk James Landay will elaborate on his argument for an authentic Human-Centered AI. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \nJames Landay is a Professor of Computer Science and the Anand Rajaraman and Venky\nHarinarayan Professor in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. He co-founded and\nis Co-Director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). Landay previously was a tenured faculty member at Cornell Tech\, the University of Washington\, and UC Berkeley. He was also Director of Intel Labs Seattle and co-founder of NetRaker. While on sabbatical at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing\, he taught for one semester at Tsinghua University. Landay received his BS in EECS from UC Berkeley\, and MS and PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University. He is a member of the ACM SIGCHI Academy\, an ACM Fellow\, and was awarded the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award. He served on the NSF CISE Advisory Committee for six years. \n\n\n\n\nAbout AI and the New Information Age \nIn 2019\, GPT-2 could not reliably count to ten. Only four years later\, deep learning systems can write software\, generate photorealistic scenes on demand\, advise on intellectual topics\, and combine language and image processing to steer robots. As AI developers scale these systems\, unforeseen abilities and behaviors emerge spontaneously without explicit programming. Progress in AI has been swift and\, to many\, surprising. \n— Managing AI Risks in an Era of Rapid Progress\, Bengio\, Hinton\, et al. \nAlong with rapid advancements in AI research\, there are increasing concerns. Many concerns stem from a growing disconnect between the technology-centric approach to the creation of AI technologies and their inextricable embedding into complex personal\, social\, and cultural contexts. The theme of the Spring 2024 Design@Large is AI and the New Information Age. A primary focus is designing information spaces\, places that foster thinking\, in this new information age. \n\n\n\n\nHow to get to the Design and Innovation Building on the UC San Diego campus \nClick here for information about transportation options to get to the Design and Innovation Building. \nIf you are experiencing any COVID-like symptoms the day of the event\, please join us remotely.

Over the coming decades\, life will change as we know it on planet Earth. From climate instability to culture change\, plagues of misinformation to global pandemics\, human society faces more threats than at any other time in our history. At the same time\, humanity is newly equipped to adapt\, with emerging tools like artificial intelligence\, synthetic biology and social innovation that have the power to reverse the narrative of impending global disruption. The time is now for us to integrate these powerful new methods – to intentionally design a more Just and Resilient future together. \nThe Resilience In A Changing World series will invite speakers to speculate on how we get from here to there\, from our current inflection point to habitable futures where both our people and planet thrive amidst increasing uncertainty and change. \n\n\n\n\nHow to get to the Design and Innovation Building on the UC San Diego campus \nClick here for information about transportation options to get to the Design and Innovation Building. \nIf you are experiencing any COVID-like symptoms the day of the event\, please join us remotely.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Don Norman
DESCRIPTION:Don Norman is Distinguished Professor (emeritus) and Founder and first Director of the Design Lab at the University of California\, San Diego as well as co-founder and first chair of the Cognitive Science Department and prior to that\, chair of Psychology. He has been a Vice President of Advanced Technology at Apple and an executive at HP. He is co-founder and principal of the Nielsen Norman group\, a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, Cognitive Science Society\, ACM\, Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the Design Research Society. \nHe has served on numerous company boards\, has honorary degrees from Delft\, Padua\, and San Marino\, the lifetime achievement award from ACM’s Computer-Human Interaction group\, and the President’s lifetime achievement award from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. He has received the Sir Misha Black Medal for distinguished service to design education from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1821\, London\, UK\, the Design Guru Award from The Institute of Design\, JK Lakshmipat University\, Jaipur India. He is currently an advisor and honorary Professor of Design at Tongji University (Shanghai) and on the Advisory board for the School of Design at Hong Kong Polytech. He was a distinguished visiting professor at the Korean Advanced Institute of Technology (KAIST) for three years. He has published 21 books translated into 20 languages including Emotional Design and Design of Everyday Things. His latest book is Design for a Better World: Meaningful\, Sustainable\, Humanity Centered. \n\n\n\n\nAbout Resilience In A Changing World \nThe near future is clarifying itself. Over the coming decades\, life will change as we know it on planet Earth. From climate instability to culture change\, plagues of misinformation to global pandemics\, human society faces more threats than at any other time in our history. At the same time\, humanity is newly equipped to adapt\, with emerging tools like artificial intelligence\, synthetic biology and social innovation that have the power to reverse the narrative of impending global disruption. The time is now for us to integrate these powerful new methods – to intentionally design a more Just and Resilient future together. \nThe Resilience In A Changing World series will invite speakers to speculate on how we get from here to there\, from our current inflection point to habitable futures where both our people and planet thrive amidst increasing uncertainty and change. \n\n\n\n\nHow to get to the Design and Innovation Building on the UC San Diego campus \nClick here for information about transportation options to get to the Design and Innovation Building. \nIf you are experiencing any COVID-like symptoms the day of the event\, please join us remotely. \n\n\n\n\nZoom Link
