 l be followed by a coffee session.\n\nTitle\nThe Long View of UX Research:
  From usability to HAI\n\nAbstract\nStarting out as an AI researcher and s
 ystem builder\, I learned early on about the value of understanding how pe
 ople actually behave\, as opposed to the ways you might think they behave\
 , especially when using AI systems and tools.  That was 40 years ago\, an
 d ever since then\, I’ve constantly tried to learn the ways people think
  about complex / intelligent systems.  The best methods are those that il
 luminate actual behavior\, sometimes quantitative in nature\, sometimes qu
 alitative\, sometimes purely observational. In this talk I’ll review som
 e successes and failures of earlier research approaches\, what we should l
 earn from these decades of practice at the boundary between human experien
 ce and the use of intelligent systems\, and where AI systems will change k
 nowledge practices in the future.\n\nBio\nDr. Daniel M. Russell has been w
