Human-Machine Interaction in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Ethical, Technical and Social Implications
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly advanced the field of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI), enhancing communication, accessibility and responsiveness. Artificial agents have become increasingly prevalent in human social life. However, this rapid development brings complex ethical, technical, and social challenges that impact privacy, bias, and human autonomy. Human-machine interaction (HMI) is the study of how people and machines communicate and work together, and artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science that aims to create machines that can perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. This article explores the key features of the ethical, moral, and political dilemmas associated with human-machine socio-technical interactions in artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled warfare. This article provides a comprehensive review of the ethical implications, technical foundations, real-world applications, emerging trends, and policy recommendations surrounding AI-driven HMI, emphasizing the need for responsible, transparent, and inclusive AI systems that prioritize human welfare. It also revisits the discussion of how responsibility might be distributed between artifcial agents and human interaction partners.
