Interdisciplinary Pathways to Responsible Human-Technology Partnership

How can we design technology in a way that optimally supports human demands in everyday life? And how can we mitigate system-generated biases to facilitate a trustworthy human-technology partnership? At the intersection of cognitive psychology, human-machine interaction, education, and artificial intelligence, my team and I apply a broad portfolio of experimental lab, field, and online studies, user-centered software development, and modeling and simulation techniques. Together with collaborators from academia, industry, and education, our ultimate goal is to design and evaluate responsible, user-adaptive, assistive technologies that support learning, training, and working across different settings. Drawing on selected examples from our ongoing research, my talk will illustrate how we can succeed in this interdisciplinary endeavor and what challenges we might face along the way.
