As AI becomes increasingly integrated into workplaces, concerns arise regarding its impact on employees’ well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction. This session will review how a human-centric approach to AI can ensure that technological advancements align with the broader goals of Industry 5.0 and promote a more equitable and inclusive work environment. To do this, this presentation gives a conceptual analysis of human-centric approaches to AI in the context of Industry 5.0, emphasising the democratization of the workplace and the holistic integration of technology with human well-being.Human centricity in AI should not be merely seen as adapting technologies to humans but as promoting broader objectives such as ongoing employee participation in decision-making, continuous learning, and intervention in technological processes.This presentation will focus on a taxonomy of categorises that demonstrate different approaches to human centric AI, specifically Environmental Design, Technology Accountability, and Human Infused Design. Each of these approaches to human centricity leads to particular solution pathways, including transactional, interventionist, and participatory orientations. This taxonomy serves as a tool for guiding human centric responses to AI implementation in industrial settings, contributing to the development of a more humane and equitable future of work, where technological advancements in AI support, rather than hinder, human flourishing.Speaker: Jason PridmoreJason Pridmore is a Full Professor of Human Centric AI in Society with a focus on Emerging Technologies and Social Change. He is the co-director of the Community for Learning Innovation and the co-lead of the AI strategy working group at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR). Jason is the coordinator of both SEISMEC, an EU funded project piloting Human Centric Industry innovation across Europe in various industrial sectors, and COALESCE, which will build a European Science Communication Competency Centre. He works in the Department of Media and Communication which is within the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication where he was the former Vice Dean of Education. His research interests are focused primarily on practices of the integration of digital tools within education, digital science communication, AI and workplace contexts, digital identification, the use consumer data within surveillance practices, and digital (cyber) security issues.
