Abstract

This panel will prompt the audience to discuss how AI is transforming HCI while still holding aspirations to make AI more human-centred. Like many other disciplines, HCI is facing a crisis, having to decide how, what, and when to use AI in its research and practice. The panel will begin by examining the impact that human-centred AI has had on society and technology development, and conversely, reflect on what we as a community should be doing in the face of GenAI being increasingly used in research and practice. Finally, we will ask the audience to consider the merits and dangers of a world where GenAI takes over much of what used to be done by ‘hand and head’.
