The rapid deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping our society and profoundly impacting businesses. The increasing levels of automation enabled by modern AI open the way to new business models and solutions, but also represent severe societal threats when the “human factors” are not properly handled. This course is devoted to explaining the concepts of AI and HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) and how they can be combined to design human-centered AI systems, i.e., AI systems that augment human abilities instead of restricting or replacing them.

• Introduction to modern AI (Deep Learning, Large Language Models)
• Impact and opportunities of advanced AI in Business (examples of applications, use-cases)
• Introduction to Human-Centered AI (definition, vision, models, and challenges)
• Human-AI interaction and collaboration
