AI Seminar: Explainable artificial intelligence
Summary
You can join the seminar via Zoom: https://dtudk.zoom.us/j/65516584187?pwd=VVlSSk1NZXZXZUpWQ3hkSVBqbk55dz09 Timothy Miller, Professor in the School of Computing and Information Systems, University of Melbourne. In his book “The Inmates are Running the Asylum: Why High-Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and how to Restore the Sanity,” Alan Cooper argues that a major reason why software is often poorly designed (from a user perspective) is that programmers are in charge. As a result, programmers design software that works for themselves, rather than for their target audience; a phenomenon he refers to as the ‘inmates running the asylum’. In this talk, I will argue that the field of explainable AI risks a similar fate if AI researchers and practitioners do not take a cross-disciplinary approach to explainable AI. I will present an overview of the intersection of explainable AI and will present some key examples of how to integrate social science knowledge into these methods.
