2023-04-18 Co-designing a Future of Hybrid Intelligence

Hosted by CapCHICapCHI April 2023 event image

AI is transforming the world. When we see a hybrid of intelligence, that is, human intelligence and AI, co-existing in our daily work and lives, should we be more excited or concerned? How do we mitigate the negative aspects of embracing AI and what type of control can we apply? Taking a forward-thinking approach, this talk aims to explore future directions in this new era and broaden the horizon of humans when working with machines.

Dr. Peng (Jane) Wang has taught, researched and worked on three continents. She is the convenor of EDUinLOC, the chair of the automation/AI track for LocWorld, and a human learning designer in machine learning. Dr. Wang has rich research experience on NLP (Natural Language Processing), having worked as a linguistic researcher at the Corpus Research Lab at Northern Arizona University, a domain expert for data mining projects at the University of Maryland and an honorary research fellow on automatic discourse analysis tools at the University of Liverpool. Dr. Wang has published over 30 articles and three books, including her new book Machine Learning in Translation (Routledge).
