Abstract
The present paper sets the scene for a recorded workshop exploring the critical role of Human Factors and Ergonomics in the development, operation and evaluation of Artificial Intelligence. First, we lay out some foundations of the multidisciplinary developments commonly placed under the umbrella of “Artificial Intelligence/AI” and propose some fundamental definitions to facilitate the structure of our arguments and the foundations for the workshop. Then we explore the role of Human Factors and Ergonomics methods in ensuring that AI systems contribute to our disciplinary goal of enhancing human health and wellbeing. In closing we propose a research agenda designed to ensure that Human Factors and Ergonomics is applied in future AI developments.
