Humans have made tools since prehistoric times. And tools or technologies – like the steam engine, the telegraph or electric lights – change how people live. Thanks to advances in algorithms, machine learning and deep learning, today’s artificial intelligence is a super tool that may improve human life on many levels, from health care to education to the environment. But criminals, terrorists and people seeking to undermine democratic governments can also use AI. Human-Centered AI (HCAI) provides strategies for grounding AI in human values and deploying this powerful new technology to improve, not diminish, people’s lives.
