"Human Error: The Most Important Frontier of Human-Centered AI "
Speaker: Dr. Ron Boring, Idaho National Laboratory (INL), USA

Summary: The speech argues that human error is a critical frontier for human-centered AI because AI systems learn from and make errors in ways similar to humans, and understanding this is crucial for creating safer and more reliable AI. By analyzing human error types (skills-based, rules-based, and knowledge-based), we can design AI to mitigate similar mistakes, reduce risks like bias, and build systems that align with human values and priorities. The goal is to move beyond simply fixing errors to a proactive approach that uses the study of human error to improve AI design and performance.

Dr. Ronald Boring About the Speaker: Dr. Ron Boring is a Distinguished Scientist and Manager for the Human Factors and Reliability Department at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). He has led control room modernization and human risk efforts for a variety of national and international partners, including U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NASA, and numerous industry partners.
