What is it about?
This is, to start with, a panel discussion and we intend to publish a paper as well later. While AI is increasingly penetrating all walks of life we feel that various essentials are still left out when it comes to adoption so we will discuss about Organisational AI; The current space of AI; Policy and AI; Human centred AI education and finally, Bringing it all together in the HCAIM programme. The moderator will provide an overview of the importance of Human Centred approaches in AI and Education. Then each of the five panelists will have 10 minutes each to share their work on the development of the HCAIM in their respective specialist areas. Following the presentations, there will be question and answer session (30 minutes).

Why is it important?
We believe that it is ultra important that we educate and train professionals for this emerging innovative technology that is poised to embed in all walks of our lives. The increasing use of AI in industry and society not only expects but demands that we build human-centred competencies into our AI education programmes. The computing education community needs to adapt, and while the adoption of standalone ethics modules into AI programmes or the inclusion of ethical content into traditional applied AI modules is progressing, it is not enough. To foster student competencies to create AI innovations that respect and support the protection of individual rights and society, a novel ground-up approach is needed. We conducted extensive surbeys and spoke to businesses - large and mid-size before arriving to design decisions that have led to the multi-institutional master’s programme. We also hope that our partners' unique combination of research, industry and academic skills will shed a new light into pedagogical and methodological approaches, besides ethics and technical competence, such that other European academic programs and universities!
Perspectives
I am really hoping that our paper will spark a lively and engaging conversation. AI is fascinating but you see media and a handful of companies - mostly startups and tech companies, run with the idea. This is all fine but enterprises cringe at the thought of adopting the cutting-edge since they already have too much on their hands. I've spent 25+ years in the industry and have seen that adoption of innovative tech into enterprise is the only sustainable path for making it a success. Hope you all will enjoy our effort and our discussions.
