Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence University of Pavia

Overview

Human-centered artificial intelligence is a new paradigm that today is at the center of the research and development activities of both large companies and prestigious international research centers in the USA and Europe. The underlying idea is to shift the center of gravity of Artificial Intelligence from "stand-alone" applications aimed at replacing humans in intelligent tasks to interactive applications in which human and machine intelligence collaborate to overcome the limits of both.

Key Features

The aim is to train professionals who bridge the gap between the hard skills of expert developers and the soft skills necessary for integrating AI applications into the relevant human contexts.

Graduates of the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence program will have:

• A high level of expertise in disciplines that characterize the interaction between human cognition and Artificial Intelligence.
