'Friends of the Foundry: Reimagined' welcomes Prof Ben Shneiderman

The Foundry is a key component of the Internet Coast, part of the Swansea Bay City Region City Deal and will place Swansea at the heart of a thriving regional ecosystem of digital companies and research.This £32.5 million pound education and research facility (Part funded by European Region Development Fund)is the new home for the academic departments of Mathematics and Computer Science.  The departments will be co-located for the first time, which brings new opportunities for research collaborations that will attract leading researchers to Wales.For more information about our Data Protection Policy please visit our website. http://www.swansea.ac.uk/the-university/world-class/vicechancellorsoffice/compliance/dataprotection/dataprotectionpolicy/ By clicking below, you agree that we may process your information in accordance with these terms.

We have Reimagined our Friends of the Foundry series for 2022 and are delighted to welcome Prof Ben Shneiderman to the first in the series.

**Online or In-person at the Computational Foundry, Lecture Theatre 002**<h3>Human-Centred AI: Reliable, Safe and Trustworthy</h3>A new synthesis is emerging that integrates AI technologies with HCI approaches to produce Human-Centered AI (HCAI). Advocates of this new synthesis seek to amplify, augment, and enhance human abilities, so as to empower people, build their self-efficacy, support creativity, recognize responsibility, and promote social connections.Researchers, developers, business leaders, policy makers and others are expanding the technology-centered scope of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to include Human-Centered AI (HCAI) ways of thinking. This expansion from an algorithm-focused view to embrace a human-centered perspective, can shape the future of technology so as to better serve human needs. Educators, designers, software engineers, product managers, evaluators, and government agency staffers can build on AI-driven technologies to design products and services that make life better for the users. These human-centered products and services will enable people to better care for each other, build sustainable communities, and restore the environment. The passionate advocates of HCAI are devoted to furthering human values, rights, justice, and dignity, by building reliable, safe, and trustworthy systems.The talk will include examples, references to further work, and discussion time for questions. These ideas are drawn from Ben Shneiderman’s new book (Oxford University Press, January 2022).

He is a Fellow of the AAAS, ACM, IEEE, NAI, and the Visualization Academy and a Member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. He has received six honorary doctorates in recognition of his pioneering contributions to human-computer interaction and information visualization. His widely-used contributions include the clickable highlighted web-links, high-precision touchscreen keyboards for mobile devices, and tagging for photos. Shneiderman’s information visualization innovations include dynamic query sliders for Spotfire, development of treemaps for viewing hierarchical data, novel network visualizations for NodeXL, and event sequence analysis for electronic health records.Ben is the lead author of Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (6th ed., 2016). He co-authored Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (1999) and Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL (2nd edition, 2019). His book Leonardo’s Laptop (MIT Press) won the IEEE book award for Distinguished Literary Contribution. The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations (Oxford, 2016) describes how research can produce higher impacts. His new book on Human-Centered AI, was published by Oxford University Press in January 2022.

<h3>Deallusrwydd Artiffisial sy’n Canolbwyntio ar Bobl: Dibynadwy, Diogel a Modd Ymddiried Ynddo</h3>Mae gwyddor gyfunol newydd yn datblygu sy’n cyfuno technolegau Deallusrwydd Artiffisial (AI) gydag agweddau o’r Rhyngweithio rhwng Pobl a Chyfrifiaduron (HCI) i greu Deallusrwydd Artiffisial sy’n Canolbwyntio ar Bobl (HCAI). Mae’r rhai sy’n hyrwyddo’r cyfuniad newydd hwn yn ceisio helaethu, ategu a gwella galluoedd dynol, er mwyn grymuso pobl, datblygu eu hunaneffeithiolrwydd, cefnogi creadigrwydd, cydnabod cyfrifoldeb, a hyrwyddo cysylltiadau cymdeithasol. Mae ymchwilwyr, datblygwyr, arweinwyr busnes, llunwyr polisi ac eraill yn ehangu cwmpas Deallusrwydd Artiffisial (AI) sy’n seiliedig ar dechnoleg i gynnwys ffyrdd o feddwl sy’n gysylltiedig â Deallusrwydd Artiffisial sy’n Canolbwyntio ar Bobl (HCAI). Mae ehangu fel hyn drwy symud o safbwynt sy’n seiliedig ar algorithm i gynnwys safbwynt sy’n canolbwyntio ar bobl yn gallu dylanwadu ar ddyfodol technoleg er mwyn gwasanaethu anghenion pobl yn well. Mae addysgwyr, dylunwyr, peirianwyr meddalwedd, rheolwyr cynhyrchion, gwerthuswyr, a swyddogion asiantaethau llywodraeth yn gallu datblygu ar sail technolegau a ysgogir gan AI a dylunio cynhyrchion a gwasanaethau sy’n gwneud bywyd yn well i’r defnyddwyr. Bydd y cynhyrchion a gwasanaethau hyn sy’n canolbwyntio ar bobl yn galluogi pobl i ofalu am ei gilydd yn well, i ddatblygu cymunedau cynaliadwy, ac i adfer yr amgylchedd. Mae hyrwyddwyr brwdfrydig HCAI yn ymrwymedig i hybu gwerthoedd, hawliau, cyfiawnder ac urddas pobl, drwy ddatblygu systemau dibynadwy a diogel y gellir ymddiried ynddynt.Bydd y sgwrs hon yn cynnwys enghreifftiau, yn cyfeirio at waith pellach ac yn rhoi amser i drafod cwestiynau. Daw’r syniadau hyn o lyfr newydd Ben Shneiderman (Gwasg Prifysgol Rhydychen, Ionawr 2022). Rhagor o wybodaeth yn: https://hcil.umd.edu/human-centered-ai Mae BEN SHNEIDERMAN (<a href="http://www.cs.umd.edu/~ben" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.cs.umd.edu/~ben</a>)yn Athro Prifysgol Emeritws Nodedig yn yr Adran Gyfrifiadureg, yn Gyfarwyddwr a Sylfaenydd (1983-2000) y Labordy Rhyngweithio Pobl-Cyfrifiaduron (http://hcil.umd.edu), ac yn aelod o Sefydliad UM ar gyfer Astudiaethau Cyfrifiadureg Uwch (UMIACS) ym Mhrifysgol Maryland. Mae’n Gymrawd yn AAAS, ACM, IEEE, NAI, a’r Academi Delweddu ac yn Aelod o Academi Peirianneg Genedlaethol yr Unol Daleithiau. Mae wedi derbyn chwe doethuriaeth er anrhydedd yn gydnabyddiaeth o’i gyfraniadau arloesol at ryngweithio pobl-cyfrifiaduron a delweddu gwybodaeth. Ymhlith y cyfraniadau ganddo a ddefnyddir fwyaf helaeth, mae’r dolenni gwe clicadwy sydd wedi’u hamlygu, bysellfyrddau sgriniau cyffwrdd hynod fanwl, a thagio ar gyfer lluniau. Mae datblygiadau arloesol Shneiderman ym maes delweddu gwybodaeth yn cynnwys llithryddion ymholi deinamig ar gyfer Spotfire, datblygu mapiau coeden ar gyfer gweld data hierarchaidd, delweddu newydd ar gyfer rhwydweithiau yn NodeXL, a dadansoddi dilyniant digwyddiadau ar gyfer cofnodion iechyd electronig.Ben ydy awdur arweiniol Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (6ed arg., 2016). Roedd yn gyd-awdur Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think (1999) ac Analyzing Social Media Networks with NodeXL (2il argraffiad, 2019). Enillodd ei lyfr, Leonardo’s Laptop (MIT Press) wobr llyfr yr IEEE am Gyfraniad Llenyddol Nodedig. Mae The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations (Rhydychen, 2016) yn amlinellu sut y gall ymchwil greu mwy o effaith. Cafodd ei lyfr newydd, Human-Centered AI, ei gyhoeddi gan Wasg Prifysgol Rhydychen ym mis Ionawr 2022.
