Human-Centered AI
AI systems are proliferating in everyday life, and it’s imperative to understand those systems from a human perspective. We design and investigate new forms of human-AI interactions and experiences that enhance and extend human capabilities for the good of our products, clients, and society at large.
Overview
Despite increasing levels of automation enabled by AI, the common thread to all of these systems is the human element: people are critical in the design, operation, and use of AI systems. We have a responsibility to ensure those systems operate transparently, act equitably, respect our privacy, and effectively serve people's needs.
How can we ensure that AI systems are designed responsibly and produce effective outcomes? We address this question by pursuing research projects across human-AI collaboration, responsible and human-compatible AI, as well as natural language and visual interaction systems.

AI Explainability 360
This open source toolkit contains eight algorithms that help you comprehend how machine-learning models predict labels throughout the AI application lifecycle. It’s designed to translate algorithmic research into the real-world use cases in a range of files, such as finance, human capital management, healthcare, and education.
View project →AI FactSheets 360
Toolkit to create factsheets outlining the details about how an AI service operates, how it was trained and tested, its performance metrics, fairness and robustness checks, intended uses, maintenance, and other critical details.
