    HCAI 13 - Human-centered AI with Ben Shneiderman

    This episode’s guest is Ben Shneiderman, Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of Maryland and co-founder of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab. Shneiderman reflects on his pioneering career spanning direct manipulation, information visualization, and decades of advocacy for human-centered design. He traces his path from traditional computer science to a deep engagement with psychology and user interface design, and he explains why human-centered AI must focus on amplifying, augmenting, empowering, and enhancing human performance rather than creating anthropomorphic agents.Ben is the author of the book Human-Centered AI https://global.oup.com/academic/product/human-centered-ai-9780192845290?cc=ca&lang=en&The episode was recorded on November 24, 2025
