Designing User Interactions with AI: Servant, Master or Symbiosis.
Designing User Interactions with AI: Servant, Master or Symbiosis.
The AI Summit London, 22nd Sept. 2021. https://www.alandix.com/academic/talks/AI-Summit-2021-UI-with-AI/ All AI ultimately affects people, in some cases deeply buried, in others interacting directly with users whether physically, such as autonomous vehicles, or virtually, such as recommender systems. In these interactions AI may be a servant, such as Alexa operating on command; or AI may be the master, such as gig-work platforms telling workers what to do. However, potentially the most productive interactions are a symbiosis, human and AI complimenting one another. Designing human-in-the-loop systems changes the requirements of both AI algorithms and user interfaces. This talk will explore some of the design principles and examples in this exciting area. Key Takeaways: * Deterministic ground – helping users know what may or may not adapt * Appropriate intelligence – tuning AI to offer human alternatives and fail well * Epistemic interaction – choosing user interactions that are informative for ML user interface, artificial intelligence, design, machine learning, deterministic ground, appropriate intelligence, alien intelligence, Epistemic interaction

- 6. touchstone phrases alien intelligence not as we know it appropriate intelligence fitting within interaction framework optimise the human–AI system, not just the AI sufficient reason explanations we would accept from a human being critical for AI explainability
- 7. styles of collaboration Servant – we tell AI what to do (explicitly) Master – AI tells us what to do, e.g. Uber Symbiosis – using complementary abilities “Man-Computer Symbiosis” J. C. R. Licklider, March 1960 N.B. boundaries may be blurred – e.g. maps interfaces, recommendations

- 9. interacting with AI from adaptive websites to semi-autonomous cars ... think about abilities (function allocation) – rote vs creative – pattern finding vs interpretation think about handover – physical handover – regaining situational awareness – not at the last moment!
- 10. design for interacting with AI some heuristics ... deterministic ground – knowing what may change appropriate intelligence – when it all goes wrong
- 11. deterministic ground ... for menus David Mary Florence Adrian Andy Brian Charlotte Colin David Devina . . . Message adaptive area most popular/likely at top quick when it gets it right deterministic ground alphabetic below still easy to scan when it isn’t
- 12. Adrian Andy Brian Charlotte Colin David Devina Elizabeth Florence George . . . Message deterministic ground ... for menus … another option adaptive aspect highlight most popular/likely items deterministic ground overall order always alphabetic
- 13. rules of standard AI interfaces 1. it should be right as often as possible 2. when it is right it should be good
- 14. rules of appropriate intelligence 1. it should be right as often as possible 2. when it is right it should be good 3. when it isn’t right ... it shouldn’t mess you up what makes a system really work! ✗ ✔

- 21. collating notices several newspaper notices for each concert semi-automated grouping: – liberal suggestions – conservative warnings
- 23. adapting interaction for AI ‘best’ UI – short term gain epistemic interaction – long term gains
- 25. document results – option 1 – scroll scroll down to see more results
- 26. document results – option 2 – accordion press ‘+’ to expand interesting items
- 27. which option? – epistemic interaction … scroll accordion A-B user testing scroll a little better accordion gives more data for AI adaptation
- 28. design for interacting with AI deterministic ground – helping users know what may or may not adapt appropriate intelligence – tuning AI to offer human alternatives and fail well epistemic interaction – choosing user interaction that is informative for ML
