Abstract

With the recent advances in AI, more AI-powered interactive systems have been designed to support people in various everyday tasks. The tension arises, however, when we apply state-of-the-art AI technology to a real-world task without careful consideration of users and their context. I argue that human-AI interaction should be considered a first-class object in designing AI-powered systems. In this talk, I’ll present a few novel interactive systems that use AI techniques to support everyday tasks such as learning, data analytics, and group discussion. I’ll discuss how human-AI interaction is considered in these systems, what tensions we encountered and how we addressed them, and how to design better intelligent and adaptive systems for real-world use.

Healthcare innovation has taken off despite — and because of — the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us as US business editor for The Economist and Visiting Farley Fellow Vijay Vaitheeswaran moderates a panel discussing the latest advances in the field and how the very process of innovation is being reinvented right now. We’ll cover topics in digital health, including telemedicine, "quantified self" devices, consumer empowerment through smart apps, and back-office automation using robotic process automation and AI. We’ll also explore how the pandemic has led to an evolution in process such as open innovation in pharmaceuticals, an industry which has traditionally been secretive about research and development.
