🎙️ WHAT EXACTLY IS HUMAN-CENTERED AI:
🤖CAN WE TEACH MACHINES TO CARE?
AI is getting smarter. But are WE getting wiser?
In this must-listen episode of The Rise of Humanness Podcast, hosts Chris Nolan and Mike Schindler sit down with Stanford professor James Landay, Co-Director of the Institute for Human-Centered AI, known as HAI, to tackle the big elephant in the room questions:
➡️ Can we build AI that actually serves people?
➡️ How do we design machines with ethics, empathy, and intuition in mind?
➡️ And what will happen to human jobs when AI can do… well, everything?
🔥 Spoiler alert: If we don’t get this right, we could end up with very powerful, very fast systems that are very wrong for humanity.
💡 In this thought-provoking convo, you’ll learn:
✅ The REAL definition of human-centered AI (and why it matters more than ever)
✅ Why ethics must be embedded into every AI course, algorithm, and product
✅ The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration (yep, we need the philosophers AND the coders)
✅ How human intuition can outperform even the smartest machines
✅ Why regulation isn’t a dirty word—it’s how we stay human
🎯 “If you don’t include humans in the loop—you’ll design machines that loop right over us.” – James Landay
