A Multi-perspective Panel on User-Centred Transparency, Explainability, and Controllability in Automations.

At this time, there is a lot of discussion and attention on the adoption of artificial intelligence in real-world automations. In this panel, we will discuss the role of Human-Computer Interaction in creating meaningful devices, applications and systems to obtain automations that exploit technologies from artificial intelligence in such a way as to create meaningful and valuable experiences for individuals and society. Our specific focus is user control in automation, asking how HCI can provide automation that can solve the evergreen challenges of human-automation interaction, advancing the role of humans interacting with automation from servants to collaborators or even partners, and increasing human well-being. With new AI tools, the range of automation has widened including the automation of cognitive tasks.
