Psychological science plays a role in understanding the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), in helping policymakers think about objectives for regulating AI, and in guiding thinking about what types of AI should be encouraged for betterment of human society. AI is being built by humans and introduced into human systems. Therefore, a psychological understanding of humans should be central to decision-making about AI.
I think AI is as much a cultural feature as it is technology. And I think we're trying to figure out as researchers, and as people who are subjected to these technologies, how is that going to change the world of work?
APA Services works to support researchers, educators, and practitioners contributing to our better understanding of how humans are impacted by and interact with technology now and into the future.
