People in my life who are unsure about my research on digital cultures and artificial intelligence systems will obliquely refer to me as someone who is "doing something with computers and AI." This means that I frequently receive anxious queries from people who feel like they are falling behind in the quick-paced, nearly frenzied development of digital technology systems across a number of intergenerational networks.

In the recent few months, there has been an upsurge in inquiries like these due to the release of Generative AI technologies (such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Bing, and Bard). Was my phone compromised? "What are the signs that someone is spying on me?" "Is a message from my phone company or bank trustworthy?" Is it possible for someone to obtain my photos from my private account? "Is this the real person that I met on a dating site?" "It doesn't seem right, but my friend sent me this information with a link."
"My laptop's security app isn't recognizing my face, so I got locked out!" "I worry that, without his knowledge, my partner is becoming radicalized and engaging in extreme behavior." "My business is going through a restructure. Will an algorithm take my place and replace me? "Will I be singled out and put on trial for opposing a populist movement, or is it safe for me to do so?" "I saw a phony photo of me being spread. How can I put an end to that?
Naturally, artificial intelligence (AI) is fostering innovation, advancing our understanding of cancer, uncovering mathematical puzzles, building models to comprehend climatic catastrophes, simplifying the distribution of resources to assist those in need, and producing amazing works of fiction as well as art. Although AI is amazing, in practical application it is just unsettling. It appears to be present in everything and everywhere. Our friendships, cars, and phones are all driven by it.
It appears to know us more quickly, thoroughly, and intimately than anybody else, and it takes advantage of our vulnerabilities to trick us into doing actions that can jeopardize our safety. AI is imperceptible, and we have no idea what its goals are as it gradually transforms every aspect of our lives and modifies our conception of the three fundamental building blocks of existence: me, you, and us.
The rate at which this transformation is occurring is so alarming that, earlier this year, many powerful figures in the large tech sector—many of whom were involved in the development of these AI systems—called for a halt to the development and implementation of generative AI systems, arguing that, as these applications proliferate without oversight, accountability, or predictable results, we are losing the battle to preserve basic human rights and values. The uncontrolled proliferation of AI systems has led to an unprecedented experiment in social, political, and economic engineering, with nothing that individual users can do but cross their fingers and hope for the best.

Although it is true that AI systems can be complex technological black boxes that are challenging to comprehend or manipulate, this does not mean that we should give up trying to integrate AI with the core beliefs and ideals of what it is to be human. We are led to believe that our AI futures are in the hands of a select few who are aware of and have control over these Franken-monsters by the notion that AI is too big for us to handle. Although it is not my expertise as a researcher dealing with computers and algorithms to forecast the future of AI, I can provide three potential strategies for reintroducing the "I" into AI, a strategy that necessitates Human-Centered AI.
Recognize the I Famously, Alan Turing predicted that one day, a virtual machine will trick us into thinking it is human. Turing's test concerned technology that challenges our conception of what it is to be human, not technology that tricked us. We'll be asking this topic more and more frequently as generative AI becomes more widespread. Me? Who am I? If we do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be human in the face of intelligent technologies and self-learning algorithms, we are ceding control of defining what it means to be human to these machines. Instead than being something that AI defines through its probabilistic, data-driven, predictive indices, the "I" needs to be the measure of AI.
