And so software engineering is building systems that do the right thing, but

artificial intelligence is also building systems that do the right thing.

So what's the difference?

And I think the difference is that the enemy in software engineering is complexity.

We have these programs with the millions of lines.

We have to get them right.

And the enemy in AI is uncertainty.

We don't know what the right answer is.

And then in human-centered AI, the goal is to build systems that do the right thing for everyone and do that fairly.

And so that kind of changes how you build these systems.

And part of it is saying you want to consider everybody involved.

So you want to consider the users of your system, but you also want to consider the stakeholders and the effect on society as a whole.

So we go back to what I was talking about, this aid for judges in deciding who gets parole.

If you took a normal...

software engineering approach, you'd say, well, who's the user?

Okay, it's this judge.

So I want to make this program be great for them.

I want a pretty display with graphs and charts and so on and numbers and figures and diagrams so that they can understand everything about the case and make a good decision.

And yes, you want that in human-centered AI.

But human-centered AI says, well, you also got to consider the other stakeholders.
