Human-Centric AI and its applications

This webinar focuses on the interaction of users and artificial intelligence (AI). Human-Centric AI emphases cognitive, emotional and social aspects of human interaction when using AI applications. Existing AI applications are able to detect human emotions derived from images or videos. Although machines, such as AI applications are often considered as unsocial devices, they are, however, able to provide increased social signals and socially oriented behaviour.

Most AI applications represent low-level intelligence and biased data-sets which, among other limitations, might cause discrimination, biased recommendations and misinterpretations. Thus, there is increasing discussion about the ethics of AI and the ethical use of AI in both education and businesses. Despite the challenges, there are also more opportunities to create useful AI applications by using ready-made components and services and open-source solutions. This webinar will deal with the aforementioned topics.
