AI, or artificial intelligence, has tremendous potential to reduce operational costs, increase productivity and automate processes in user experience (UX), product design and development.However, AI is notoriously challenging to integrate into system design, especially those involving human-computer interface (HCI). This course will take a practical, systems thinking perspective, using function modelling frameworks to break interactive systems down and teach professionals how to successfully, safely and meaningfully infuse their own systems with AI.

Led by Professor Per Ola Kristensson, this 8-week course will teach methods, principles and approaches for designing systems, products and services that leverage AI to assist users in achieving their goals and the improving user experience. Through a series of case-based exercises (applicable to a wide range of industries), learners will gradually create a report that functionally models their own AI system design, including strategies for managing risk, governance, verification and validation.

The course will provide professionals at a senior or managerial level with practical and transferable knowledge on how to effectively use AI in a system and enable them to present this knowledge in a clear and compelling fashion to internal stakeholders, external clients, or venture capitalists.

By the end of the HCI course, you will be able to:
  • Derive a solution-neutral problem statement that motivates a human-AI system and arrive at a requirements specification that can be used to test the system.
  • Design a function model of a human-AI system and analyse the types and levels of automation that can be used to address the solution-neutral problem statement.
  • Perform a risk analysis and determine the types of risks that are inherent in the human-AI system and propose mitigation activities.
  • Create a verification cross-reference matrix that can be used to verify that system requirements have been met for all deployment contexts relevant to the human-AI system.
  • Develop a strategy for managing the risks and governance issues of a human-AI system.
  • Create a validation strategy to ensure the human-AI system is fit for purpose and addresses the overall function it is intended to perform.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use. It involves the study of how people interact with computers and how to design user-friendly and effective interfaces.

The scope of HCI is quite broad. It encompasses various aspects of human-computer interaction, including user interface design, usability evaluation, user experience (UX) research, interaction design, information architecture, and accessibility. HCI professionals work on improving the interaction between humans and computers, ensuring that technology is intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable for users.

The three main components of HCI are:
  • Human: This refers to the user or the person interacting with the computer system. Understanding the characteristics, abilities, limitations, and needs of human users is crucial to designing effective and user-friendly interfaces.
  • Computer: This represents the technology or computing system with which humans interact. It includes the hardware, software, and interfaces that enable communication and interaction between humans and computers.
  • Interaction: This refers to the communication and exchange of information between humans and the computer system. It involves the design of interfaces, input mechanisms (such as keyboards or touchscreens), output mechanisms (such as displays or speakers), and the overall user experience during the interaction process.

These three components are intertwined and must be considered together to create successful human-computer interactions.

Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) for AI Systems Design is a University of Cambridge short course that enables learners to:
  • Design a functional model of a human-AI system and analyse the types and levels of automation that can be used to address a solution neutral problem statement
  • Perform a risk analysis and determine the types of risks that are inherent in the human-AI system and propose mitigation activities
  • Create a verification cross reference matrix and a validation strategy which can be used to verify that system requirements have been met for all deployment contexts relevant to the human-AI

Led by Professor Per Ola Kristensson, this 8-week course aims to provide comprehensive instruction on methods, principles, and approaches for designing
AI-driven systems, products, and services. The course focuses on leveraging AI to assist users in accomplishing their objectives and enhancing the overall user experience. Participants will engage in a series of case-based exercises that are applicable across various industries. As the course progresses, learners will develop a functional model of their own AI system design, incorporating strategies for risk management, governance, verification, and validation.

Anyone with the zeal to explore the intricacies of human-computer interaction can enroll in this HCI course. However, professionals managing product design, development and user experience in the following industries, with a keen interest in applying AI to improve products or processes, will find this course valuable:
  • Manufacturing
  • Technology
  • Financial services (including insurance and banking)
  • Healthcare (especially the production of medical devices)
  • Consumer or commercial products

Due to the high-level systems thinking approach this course will take, it is recommended for professionals operating at a senior or managerial level, such as Senior Product Developers, Product Design Managers, Lead System Designers, and directors of UI or UX.
