A Comprehensive Framework Proposal to Design Symbiotic AI Systems

Nowadays, the rapid spread of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the daily lives of individuals is raising multiple challenges and issues. The latter must be timely and effectively addressed since they have a substantial impact on numerous domains with implications concerning the technicalities, typically faced by computer science, and also to multiple areas of society, such as law, ethics, psychology, etc. The PhD project presented in this manuscript aims at finding new human-centered methodologies and techniques, belonging to the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) discipline, that can be applied to the design and development of AI to foster the symbiotic relationship between machines and humans. The project deals with Symbiotic Artificial Intelligence (SAI), which has the goal of supporting humans in executing their tasks without replacing them. The research aims at finding the intersection between Software Engineering (SE), HCI, and AI to create a framework supporting and providing guidance to all the parties involved in the process of creating effective SAI systems.
