Designing Agentive Technology: AI that Works for People

Advances in narrow artificial intelligence make possible agentive systems that do things directly for their users (like, say, an automatic pet feeder). They deliver on the promise of user-centered design, but present fresh challenges in understanding their unique promises and pitfalls.

In this talk on Designing Agentive Technology, Chris provides both a conceptual grounding and practical advice to unlock agentive technology’s massive potential.
