AI is designed to do the thinking for us, but can it actually help humans to think as well?

91TV Milner Award and Lecture 2022 given by Professor Yvonne Rogers FRS.

Digital technologies have much potential for helping us think: enhancing how we perceive, attend to, notice, analyse and remember events, people, data and other information. But how do we make it happen - especially against the backdrop of AI which aims to do the thinking for us? Professor Rogers’ research is concerned with designing innovative interfaces that can extend how we think when we learn, work and play. Her approach is to make interfaces interactive and empowering; steering, scaffolding and challenging people to think differently and creatively.

In Professor Rogers’ lecture, she will describe how we can open up people’s minds more through designing technology with them in mind.
