The Alan Turing Institute

The Alan Turing Institute is seeking to commission a literature review in the area of Human-Centered AI (HCAI).  The Defence domain inherently involves high risk and high consequence decisions and any supporting AI technologies must be sufficiently interpretable to ensure operators remain accountable. Systems must also be designed to support operators, by enhancing capability rather than removing it. An emerging area of research looking to tackle these issues, amongst others, is concerned with Human-Centered AI (HCAI). There are a range of definitions for HCAI in academic literature, from vague and conceptual to more application-oriented.

The Alan Turing Institute is seeking to commission a literature review with the specific aims outlined below:

1.       Understand the scope of HCAI, including the various definitions/themes / sub-themes i.e. a taxonomy of HCAI.

2.       Understand applications of HCAI (applied research), including themes i.e. what domains? What level of autonomy? Level of risk?

3.       Provide a summary of important guiding principles for developing HCAI, including when it is necessary, why it is important, and what concerns there are without it.

Reviews would be expected to commence as soon as practically possible and be complete by 30 September 2021.
