Guiding Principles of  HCAI

Reliability, Safety, and Trustworthiness

These systems are designed to perform consistently and safely in real-world contexts, with robust mechanisms to handle failures, avoid harm, and protect users. Trustworthiness is achieved through transparent operations, independent oversight, and the integration of ethical considerations throughout the system's lifecycle.

High Human Control and Automation

HCAI seeks to balance automation with human oversight. Rather than aiming for fully autonomous systems that replace humans, HCAI systems empower users by providing tools and interfaces that support decision-making, creativity, and mastery. This approach ensures that humans remain at the center of the decision-making process, with the ability to intervene or adjust system behavior as needed.

Human-Centric Design

HCAI systems are built with a deep understanding of the people they serve. This includes engaging users throughout the design process, empathizing with their needs, and co-creating solutions that are inclusive and accessible. The focus is on making technology a tool that enhances human well-being, rather than one that imposes burdens or creates alienation.
