Ethical implications of AI use and user-centered design
09:30, Friday, 25th March - Dorin Stanciu: Ethical implications of AI use and user-centered design
Dorin is a researcher and teacher of psychology. He currently teaches Psychology and Human Factors, as associate professor at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, and is affiliated with the Walden University as doctoral supervisor and methodologist.
He loves Statistics and holds a somewhat strange belief that Psychology is half-way Mathematics or it should be. He also spends most of his time trying out various NLP and other machine learning models, because he is convinced that ML will bring a new dawn to how we do science and construe the world.
Dorin considers himself fortunate to have been co-opted as a member of the CITST family, and given abundant chances to work with them. During his almost decade long collaboration with CITST, Dorin worked on several international projects that involved the use of assistive robots and related technologies.Dorin Stanciu: Ethical implications of AI use and user-centered design
