Responsible Design of Interactive AI-Systems

About this programme

This advanced level course is aimed to deepen knowledge and skills in design methodology for responsible development of interactive, intelligent systems and environments with focus on human-centered artificial intelligens (AI), and in theories for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) theory and new technology for interacting and collaborating with intelligent software agents and environments. The course builds upon research and theories developed in the intersection of AI and HCI, with special focus on socio-technical systems embedding AI, human-AI collaboration and related ethical and social aspects. Some of the core questions in focus during the course will be The course is divided into the following two parts: Module 1: Theory and methodology (4,5 ECT) The theoretical part covers theoretical frameworks and methods for designing and evaluating interactive intelligent systems, and adopts a responsible AI perspective. The socio-technical systems perspective will be applied throughout the course with theories and methods supporting the development of socially intelligent systems. This includes human-centric factors vital when developing AI-based interactive systems, such as the effect of use, mechanisms for human development, motivation, behavior change, autonomy, empowerment, competence, relatedness, value for the individual and society, responsibility, accountability and ethics. Methodology includes in particular responsible AI design, participatory action research approaches and activity-centered design. The theory and methodologies are applied in group exercises and in an
