“Trustworthy by Design”
Abstract: The relatively recent public release of generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems has ignited a significant leap in awareness of the capabilities of AI. In parallel, there has been a recognition of AI system limitations and the bias inherent in systems created by humans. Expectations are rising for more trustworthy, human-centered, and responsible software connecting humans to powerful systems that augment their abilities. There are decades of practice designing systems that work with, and for humans, that we can build upon to face the new challenges and opportunities brought by dynamic AI systems.
Carol Smith is the AI Division Trust Lab Lead and a Principal Research Scientist at the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Software Engineering Institute. She leads research focused on development practices that result in trustworthy, human-centered, and responsible AI systems. Ms. Smith has been conducting research to improve the human experience with complex systems across industries for over 20 years. Since 2015 she has led research to integrate ethics and improve human experiences with AI systems, autonomous vehicles, and other complex and emerging technologies. Ms. Smith is recognized globally as a leading researcher and user experience advocate and has presented over 250 talks and workshops in over 40 cities around the world. Her writing can be found in publications from organizations including AAAI, ACM, and the UXPA, and she has taught courses and lectured at CMU and other leading institutions. Ms. Smith is currently an ACM Distinguished Speaker and a Working Group member of the IEEE P7008™ Standard. Ms. Smith holds a Master of Science degree in Human-Computer Interaction from DePaul University.
