Course Overview - Human-Centered Generative AI
Education
Introduction
Given the immense power of new generative AI systems, it has become more crucial than ever to adopt a human-centered approach to ensure these technologies are developed responsibly and equitably. In this context, I would like to introduce myself: I am James Landay, a professor of computer science at Stanford University. Additionally, I serve as the co-founder and vice director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.
This course on human-centered generative AI aims to encourage participants to think not only about designing AI for users but also for the communities and societies affected by recent advances in artificial intelligence. Throughout the course, we will delve into important topics such as social impact, ethics, privacy, fairness, and safety, among others.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn from not just one expert, but several leaders in the field. These experts will share their diverse expertise and unique perspectives, providing insights derived from their cutting-edge research. Together, we will navigate the evolving landscape of generative AI, ensuring we address the complexities and implications of integrating these technologies into society.
