DAUIN has been delighted to welcome Prof. Yvonne Rogers over the past few weeks. It has been a real pleasure to have her with us, and we warmly invite you to join us for the final seminar of her visit. Y Combinator has recently identified the "Company Brain" as an emerging area of interest. Yvonne will ask how agentic AI might empower not only individuals, but also teams, organisations, and society at large. Moving from Human-Centered AI to People-Centered AI Yvonne Rogers, UCL May 18, 3:30pm, Lab8, DAUIN Recently there has been much excitement about agentic AI. But what does this mean for those of us working in HCI? Rather than focussing on how to amplify human cognition or augment users with GenAI tools it is important that we also begin considering how best to empower organisations, companies and society at large with agentic AI. In particular, we need to determine how to support teams and organisations in their workflows and complex tasks, for example, collaborative decision-making. This involves addressing scalability; coming up with different lens and frameworks. In my talk, I will begin by giving an overview of HCAI followed by considering the new challenges that are afoot and the opportunities that have arisen as we enter the new era of agentic AI. Yvonne Rogers is a Professor of Interaction Design at UCL. Her research interests are in the areas of human-computer interaction and human-centered AI. Her current research investigates how to design AI tools to empower people, especially human decision-making and metacognition. From 2022-2024 she was the CTO of LetsThink.com, a start-up that is developing new tools to augment how people think by applying behaviour science methods to AI. From 2020-2025 she was awarded a chair of excellence at Bremen University which was set up to fund distinguished international scholars to promote collaboration. During this time, she co-developed a centre for AI and healthcare. In 2024 she was elected as an international member of the US National Academy of Engineering. In 2022, she was awarded the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award; "presented to individuals for outstanding contributions to the study of human-computer interaction". In the same year, she was awarded the Royal Society Robin Milner Medal for Computer Science and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society as "one of the leaders who created the field of Ubiquitous Computing". She collaborates a lot with industrial partners and was awarded a Microsoft Research Outstanding Collaborator Award. She is also a Fellow of the ACM; a Fellow of the British Computer Society and a Fellow of the ACM's CHI Academy. ________________________________________________________________________________ Microsoft Teams meeting Join: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/385368719903313?p=SXRMHN6TqPGP851CZs Meeting ID: 385 368 719 903 313 Passcode: 5ey3MM9g ________________________________ Need help?<https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting?omkt=en-GB> | System reference<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NTkzZDRmYjQtNjZlYi00Y...> For organisers: Meeting options<https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=855f504a-6e63-4e94-a...> ________________________________________________________________________________
