What Is Human-Centered AI? – HCAI Teaching Kit

This teaching kit was designed for any audience looking to explore what is Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, and to challenge participants to explore examples of human-centered design in both AI and our everyday lives. This kit was designed with flexibility and context adaptability at its core, while initially designed for K-12 level participants, this kit can easily be modified to meet your audience and level goals. 

This kit explores the core essential question of “What is human-centered AI” through three challenge activities designed to empower participants to begin thinking about how AI can be created and used with humans at the center. Time suggestions have been included for each activity. Each activity can be adapt to fit your instructional environment and time available.

  • What are artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)?
  • What does it mean to be human-centered?
  • How do AI and human-centered design (HCD) intersect?
