Mercedes-Benz Tech Talk: Visions and Methods for Human-Machine-Interaction

Abstract:

The advances in technology and artificial intelligence lead to more sophisticated system functionalities and automation. The more complex these functionalities may become, the more emphasis has to be placed on intelligible systems and understandable user interactions. In this talk, we share the vision of “Shaper Autonomy” that enables a new active role for humans and turns robot cars into personalized robot cars. We also discuss how explanations support AI-driven systems, e.g., for transparency of machine learning model predictions.
