- Description
- Vital services such as communications, financial trading, health care, and transportation depend on sophisticated algorithms. Some rely on unpredictable artificial intelligence techniques, such as deep learning, that are increasingly embedded in complex software systems. As high-speed trading, medical devices, and autonomous aircraft become more widely used, stronger checks are necessary to prevent failures. Design strategies that promote comprehensible, predictable, and controllable human-centered systems can increase safety and make failure investigations more effective. Social strategies that support human-centered independent oversight during planning, continuous monitoring during operation, and retrospective analyses following failures can play a powerful role in making more reliable and trustworthy systems. Clarifying responsibility for failures stimulates improved design thinking.

“Why do science teachers teach inside classrooms and labs? What keeps teachers from taking students out from the classroom and into the field? The answers to these questions may be related to how we are training our teachers.
Taking students to outdoor natural spaces is understood by students as a “fun” activity and by many teachers as an activity that doesn’t necessarily involve “authentic” science. Indeed, taking students out into the “wild” is often perceived by teachers as risky fun. While biologists and botanists base a large part of their work in field studies, this approach to learning science seems not to permeate the way current scie...
