Fall ’24 Colloquium: Leveraging Social Theories to Enhance Human-AI Interaction

Date: Friday, December 6
Time: 4:00 – 5:00 PM (Central Time)
Location: Education Sciences Building, Room 325


Featured Speaker: Dr. Harmanpreet Kaur (She/Her)

Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering

Dr. Harmanpreet Kaur is a leading researcher in human-centered artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on explainability, interpretability, and hybrid intelligence systems.

Talk OVERVIEW

As human-AI partnerships become more prevalent, their effectiveness hinges on addressing critical challenges like dynamic human needs and AI’s opaque reasoning. Many current systems fail to explain AI decision-making clearly, often perpetuating biases and overlooking nuanced edge cases.

Dr. Kaur will explore why explainable AI often falls short in practical applications and discuss innovative designs—both completed and ongoing—that aim to empower users with varying levels of expertise to better understand and interact with AI outputs.
