About Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, MSc - at University of Milano-Bicocca
Starting from the 2023/2024 academic year, the master’s degree course in Human-centered artificial intelligence is jointly organised by the University of Milano-Bicocca, the University of Pavia, and the University of Milan, its administrative headquarters.
Human-centered artificial intelligence is a new paradigm that is now the focus of the research and development activities of both large companies and prestigious international research centers in the U.S. and Europe. The underlying idea is to shift the focus of Artificial Intelligence from "stand-alone" applications aimed at replacing humans in intelligent tasks to interactive applications in which human and machine intelligence work together to overcome the limitations of both.
The overall goal of this master's degree program is to train new professionals capable of accompanying the widespread diffusion of Artificial Intelligence in the professional world, enabling the reasonable and responsible integration of new technologies into the human context in which they are to be used. This integration aims to solve complex problems involving a constellation of non-technical variables: strategic goals, moral values, legal constraints, cognitive biases, and other psychological and social factors. From this perspective, the input of human agents becomes an integral part of an Artificial Intelligence system, and Artificial Intelligence itself becomes a set of sophisticated technologies to enhance the intelligence of human agents by expanding their cognitive capabilities. Hence, there is an essential need for strongly interdisciplinary skills to meaningfully and responsibly guide this process of integrating new technologies into the real-world contexts.
The aim is to train bridging figures between the hard-skills of experienced developers and the soft-skills needed to integrate AI applications into the human context in which they are deployed.
