Designing for Meaningful Human-AI Interactions

With the increasing creation, use, and implementation of novel AI systems in every aspect of our society, we must ensure that AI complements us by providing meaningful engagement, centering systems on our human values, and implementing such systems with due consideration of society at large. In this series, we will bring together experts from diverse fields such as human-computer interaction (HCI), philosophy, design, and law with policymakers and practitioners in a mixture of single-speaker seminars, multidisciplinary panels, and expert-led workshops to define what it means to have meaningful human-AI interaction; how to design for these interactions in AI systems; and how to promote such interactions through legislation and policy making.

The kickoff event will be May 8th at noon to discuss how to design meaningful human-AI interactions for a digital society. Through presentations and discussion with panelists Dr. Mike Lensink (The Green Land), Dr. Dorian Peters (University of Cambridge), and Dr. Matthew Dennis (TU Eindhoven), we will discuss: what makes human-AI interactions meaningful? What features must be considered to ensure “meaningfulness”? How do we design for meaning in an ethically-responsible manner? The event will be moderated by Dr. Jie Yang (TU Delft).

All experts, policymakers, and practitioners with an interest in human-AI interactions are welcome to attend!

This event is supported by the National Digital Society Programme, Mondai House of AI, the TU Deft AI Initiative, Web Information Systems (WIS), and the Digital Ethics Centre.
