Leveraging Social Theories to Enhance Human-AI Interaction
Explore the complexities of human-AI partnerships in this Stanford seminar presented by Harman Kaur from the University of Minnesota. Delve into the challenges of capturing dynamic human needs and explaining complex AI reasoning in decision-support systems. Discover why interpretability tools often fall short in practice, exacerbating the limitations of human rationality and encouraging the use of cognitive and social heuristics. Learn about Kaur's research agenda, which incorporates social theories to design human-AI systems that leverage complementarity while addressing incompatibilities in understanding. Gain insights into the importance of combining technical AI development with a deep understanding of human-centric cognitive, social, and organizational phenomena to create more effective and safe human-AI interactions.
