Abstract

This chapter examines how human-centered design (HCD) principles are applied to AI research and deployment, emphasizing on responsible innovation. The chapter analyzes HCD principles from prototyping to deployment across the AI lifecycle through a comprehensive literature study and case examples. User-centric design, ethics, iterative methods, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continual learning are discussed. The findings show that HCD principles improve outcomes, ethical AI development, iterative refinement, collaboration, and adaptability. The chapter also discusses change opposition, user participation, ethical and regulatory restrictions, technical complexity, and resource limits. A framework for human-centered and responsible AI includes implementation recommendations and benchmarks for HCD approaches. Practice and policy should prioritize user requirements, ethical considerations, interdisciplinary collaboration, and capacity building, according to the chapter. HCD in AI longitudinal impact assessments, ethical framework refinements, ...
