Integrating Human and Artificial Intelligence: Software in the Age of AI

by Stephen K. Reed

Overview

This timely book captures recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and their far-reaching implications across education, cognition, business, healthcare, and environmental sectors.

Drawing from current academic research, government reports, and industry insights, Integrating Human and Artificial Intelligence provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the rapid evolution of AI. It helps readers understand in non-technical terms what AI is, what it is capable of achieving, and how to combine the best skills of artificial and human intelligence to develop a human-centered AI. This will be vital to overcome challenges to protect data privacy, promote fairness, minimize bias, and be culturally responsive. The book's broad scope and contemporary focus make it a welcome addition to the field, especially as an educational resource introducing students and practitioners to the practical applications and societal impact of AI.

Well-grounded in recent scholarship, this book will be particularly valuable for students and researchers of cognitive psychology, AI, and technology.
