** Apologies for cross-posting ** ============================================================== Special Issue on AI, Decision-Making, and the Impact on Humans https://lnkd.in/dqPy4sV to be published in the journal International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction Impact Factor: 3.353 (2020) https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/hihc20/current ============================================================== ---------------- Overview -------------------- AI Algorithms are making and supporting decisions in ways that increasingly affect humans in many aspects of their lives. Both autonomous systems and algorithm-in-loop decision-support systems use AI algorithms and data-driven models to provide or deny access to credit, healthcare, and other essential resources while steering life-changing decisions related to criminal justice, education, and other aspects of everyday life. Too often these systems are built without consideration of the human factors associated with their use. Models are too often opaque; recommendations too hard to interpret or interrogate; and systems unaware of the human values and consequences of their calculations. We invite contributions exploring the impact of AI decision-making and decision-support algorithms on humans with a special focus on how to integrate human-centered principles into the algorithms and their surrounding systems. ------------ Topics of interest --------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Human-centered design and evaluations of AI-powered systems. -How do we design more impactful AI systems? -How do we develop explanations that would work for a variety of stakeholders? -How do we go beyond evaluations based on traditional accuracy metrics? -How do we extend machine learning systems to recognize diverse human objectives? -How do we develop design methods for useful, effective, transparent, fair, and ethical AI? -How do we deal with ethical sustainability? Design for algorithm-in-the-loop decision-support systems. -How do we provide interfaces to support decision-maker accountability? -How do we provide interfaces to assess decision-maker competence and awareness of the uses and limitations of the AI algorithms and models? ---------- Submission Instructions ------------ Authors are encouraged to send an abstract (e.g., 500 words) to [log in to unmask] for feedback on the relevance and fit to the special issue.
