The Woodsworth College Alumni Association invites you to a virtual Alumni Café lecture featuring Professor Mark Chignell speaking on "Challenges & Transformation of Human-AI Interactions in Healthcare & Cybersecurity."
Professor Chignell will discuss some of the key issues that arise when humans and artificial intelligence (AI) systems work together to carry out tasks. He will also introduce current approaches, challenges and opportunities of interactive machine learning through two case studies - one in healthcare and one in cybersecurity. To conclude, Professor Chignell will share future research issues in human-AI interaction and the need for more effective collaboration between different disciplines in order to address human-AI interaction challenges.
