讲座内容：

Artificial Intelligence is used more and more in society, from healthcare to transport and finance. Along with the rapid increase of AI adoption come increased concerns about the inherent robustness issues of such technologies and the social, and ethical implications. To create AI systems that can properly serve humans, it is crucial to put humans at the center of the process such that the outcome system behaves in a way that fits the cognition and value of people in the contexts of use. This poses new technological challenges: how to build AI systems that can be understood by humans and that can align their behaviour with human values? Tackling these challenges requires new ways of looking at the computational roles humans can and should play in both developing and using AI. In this talk, I will present our recent work on human-centered computing for understanding and improving the robustness of AI systems by connecting AI with human reasons and values.
