In this first highlight, Lareina Yee talks with James Landay about "human-centered AI." James says, "To me, human-centered AI is not just about the applications of AI, which might provide social value, whether in health or education. It's also about how we create and design those AI systems, who we involve in that development, and how we foster a process that's more human centered as we create and evaluate AI systems. Given how much technology for technology's sake I have seen in my almost 40 years in legal, James' comments were particularly impactful. He said, "You can have good intentions and say, 'I'm going to do AI for healthcare or education.' But if you don't do it in a human-centered way, if you just do it in a technology-centered way, then you're less likely to succeed in achieving that good you set out to do in the first place." Again it is reminiscent of my favorite movie scientist. In our second highlight, Doug Austin offers us a post from cimplifi entitled, "Chess, Not Checkers: The Human Element." It's all about "how the use of generative AI in complex litigation can lead to significant challenges if it operates without adequate human supervision."
