• Abstract: Publications in the AI for Good space have tended to focus on the research and model development that can support high-impact applications. However, very few AI for Good papers discuss the process of deploying and collaborating with the partner organization, and the resulting real-world impact. In this work, we share details about the close collaboration with a humanitarian-to-humanitarian (H2H) organization and how to not only deploy the AI model in a resource-constrained environment, but also how to maintain it for continuous performance updates, and share key takeaways for practitioners.

  The study identifies key themes such as the evolving nature of human AI interaction, the capabilities of AI in software engineering tasks, and the challenges and limitations of integrating AI in this domain. The findings show that while AI, particularly ChatGPT, improves the efficiency of code generation and optimization, human oversight remains crucial, especially in areas requiring complex problem solving and security considerations.

  The AI as collaborator dream is different from computer tools that augment human intelligence (IA) or intermediate human collaboration. Government advisory groups and leaders in AI have advocated for years that AIs should be transparent and effective collaborators. Are AI teammates part of a solution? How artificially intelligent (AI) could and should they be?

We see the notion of HCAI agent, together with its components and functions, as a way to bridge the technical and non-technical discussions on human-centered AI.
