Module 3 – Human-Centered AI

(BAI613A)
1. Supertools vs Intelligent Agents

Supertools
 • Human-controlled AI tools that support creativity and productivity.
 • Operated by users at all times (human-in-the-loop).
 • Advantage: Boosts productivity while maintaining full human control.
 • Disadvantage: Requires constant user effort and interaction.
 • Example: Grammarly, GitHub Copilot, AI tools in Photoshop.

Intelligent Agents
 • Autonomous systems that sense, decide, and act independently.
 • Can perform tasks without constant human involvement.
 • Advantage: Saves time and handles routine tasks automatically.
 • Disadvantage: Risk of lack of transparency and unexpected behavior.
 • Example: Siri, Alexa, Chatbots, Delivery drones.

🔑 Memory Trick: S → Supervised (Supertools), A → Alone (Agents)

2. Science Goals vs Innovation Goals

Science Goals
 • Aimed at understanding natural or computational phenomena.
 • Focus on theoretical research and knowledge generation.
 • Advantage: Leads to deep insights and foundational theories.
 • Disadvantage: Often lacks immediate practical use.
 • Example: Research on how neural networks mimic the brain.

Innovation Goals
 • Focused on solving real-world problems using AI technologies.
 • Emphasize design, usability, and implementation.
 • Advantage: Produces useful applications and tools.
 • Disadvantage: May lack deep theoretical understanding.
 • Example: Developing an AI chatbot for mental health support.

🔑 Memory Trick: S → Study (Science), I → Implement (Innovation)


3. Teammates vs Tele-bots

Teammates
 • AI systems that collaborate with humans like coworkers.
 • Share decision-making and workload.
 • Advantage: Enhances trust and reduces mental effort.
 • Disadvantage: May lead to over-reliance on AI suggestions.
 • Example: AI copilots, clinical decision-support systems.

Tele-bots
 • Remotely operated robots controlled by humans.
 • Used in dangerous or remote environments.
 • Advantage: Enhances safety by removing humans from danger zones.
 • Disadvantage: Requires skilled control; may face communication delays.
 • Example: Da Vinci surgical robot, space rovers, disaster rescue bots.

🔑 Memory Trick: T1 = Teammate (Together), T2 = Telebot (Tele =


Distant)

4. Social Robots vs Active Appliances

Social Robots
 • Robots designed for emotional and social interaction.
 • Mimic facial expressions, voice, and gestures.
 • Advantage: Useful in therapy, education, and elderly care.
 • Disadvantage: Emotion simulation may seem unnatural or shallow.
 • Example: Paro robot, Sophia, NAO robot.

Active Appliances
 • Smart devices that learn and adapt to user routines.
 • Automate tasks like temperature control, reminders, etc.
 • Advantage: Save energy, time, and enhance convenience.
 • Disadvantage: Privacy concerns and user over-dependence.
 • Example: Nest thermostat, smart fridge, AI washing machine.

🔑 Memory Trick: S = Speak with you (Social Robot), A = Act


automatically (Appliance)
