tachAId-An interactive tool supporting the design of human-centered AI solutions

Area of Science:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Human-Computer Interaction
• Software Engineering

Background:

• Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into business is vital for competitiveness.
• There's a need for structured guidance on designing AI solutions centered on human needs.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present "technical assistance concerning human-centered AI development" (tachAId), an interactive advisory tool.
• To guide AI developers and decision-makers through the machine learning lifecycle with a human-centered design focus.

Main Methods:

• tachAId provides concrete technical advice for human-centeredness across AI development phases.
• Effectiveness is evaluated using criteria for human-centered AI, derived from existing methodologies.
• tachAId and a comparable tool were assessed against these criteria.

Main Results:

• The tool offers motivation and practical advice for human-centered AI development.
• An evaluation framework based on challenges and goals was established.
• A comparative analysis highlights the human-centered aspects covered by advisory tools.

Conclusions:

• tachAId supports the creation of AI solutions aligned with human needs.
• The evaluation provides insights into the comprehensiveness of human-centered AI tools.
• This work aids stakeholders in selecting appropriate AI development guidance.
