Human-Centered AI (HCAI) has received increasing attention in the past few years. Respecting human values while designing AI applications is one of the core responsibilities of AI developers. In this position paper, we first present the concept of Human-Centered AI (HCAI) and justify its importance in the broader trend of AI development and deployment. We then describe central elements of HCAI from the users’ viewpoint, based on our initial literature review of this topic. Finally, we reflect how human autonomy could be supported in AI development and design on two levels: 1) adopting a systematic and holistic design approach which takes into account human values but also broader sustainability goals, and 2) applying more detailed user interface design principles in the AI development while focusing on the HCAI elements.
