KEY LEARNINGS
  • Human-Centered AI (HCAI) prioritizes augmenting human capabilities rather than replacing them, ensuring people remain effective and in control.
  • Automation is not binary; it exists on a spectrum from Level 1 (fully manual) to Level 6 (fully autonomous), allowing for nuanced design choices.
  • Meaningful human oversight requires that operators have the authority, competence, and time to override AI decisions, not just 'rubber stamp' them.
  • The EU AI Act mandates that high-risk AI systems be designed with built-in human-machine interface tools to prevent automation bias.
  • Effective collaboration requires feedback loops where the AI learns from human corrections, improving performance over time.
