AI-Mediated Human Interaction

摘要

Humans are innately social creatures with a need to interact with others. The advent of AI has profoundly advanced technologies for human interaction. It has not only opened the doors to seamless human-to-machine interaction but has also helped to significantly enhance human-to-human digital interaction, bringing people together in more engaging and immersive ways. This talk will trace a decade-long progression of the development of cutting-edge AI-mediated technologies for human-to-machine and human-to-human interaction. There are two fundamental aspects to solving this problem -- human understanding and human synthesis. This talk will seek to answer the question of how far along we've come in solving both, along with what the underlying AI building blocks are that have helped us get here. It will further highlight the successful application areas of AI-mediated human interaction technologies that are positively impacting people's lives. Lastly, it will conclude with thoughts on what is left on the table in terms of research and innovation, and speculate on what the next frontier will be for profound real-world impact in this space.
