The future for AI
Artificial Intelligence is something that is developing at a rapid rate. With programmes like ChatGPT becoming increasingly common in our schools, universities, workplaces, and homes, Artificial Intelligence is clearly the next big technology that humans will have to interact with. So, how might human factors help?
Artificial Intelligence refers to a system which is designed to think like humans and in doing so, generate predictions, recommendations, and decisions about a question, task, or topic. Within human factors there are several discussions about AI. How might AI automate tasks and replace human work? How might it support humans in their decision making? Is it a transparent system and who is accountable for decision making? What if AI becomes uncontrollable?
As something relatively new, we don’t quite know how human factors will influence the use and design of AI, but we are certain it will play a part in adopting AI safely into our work and home lives.
