Fall 2019: Crowdsourcing and Human-AI Interaction

This course will cover topics in Human-Computer Interaction, human computation and crowdsourcing, and the emerging literature in Human-AI Interaction, with a focus on techniques for creating interactive intelligent systems that leverage a combination of human and machine intelligence to accomplish tasks more effectively than either could alone. We will also touch on the theory underlying many of the current approaches (e.g., game theory, voting theory, reasoning under uncertainty, and machine learning), and potential ethical concerns raised by these systems (e.g., safety and end-user privacy).
