      With the ever-increasing use of AI technologies, ethical considerations take on greater importance. Human-centric AI emphasizes transparency, making sure that AI systems work in a way that users can comprehend and trust. Additionally, it addresses bias and discrimination issues, ensuring fairness and inclusion in the design and implementation of AI apps. By emphasizing user experience, security, and human-centric AI, the goal is to improve collaboration between people and machines, rather than replacing human decisions, creating a future where technology is a force for good, benefiting both businesses and society. Written from a technological point of view, Industry 5.0 for Society 5.0 explores the impact of cutting-edge technologies, including the Internet of Things, cloud, artificial intelligence, and digital twin, on individuals and community, and considers how they can be used to solve societal problems. The book considers how these technologies can positively affect industry, healthcare, agriculture, design and manufacture, contributing to the development of a sustainable environment that ultimately creates a positive and mutually beneficial relationship between people and AI.

      The blind person attempting to make an online purchase. The young girl who cannot speak due to a cognitive disability. The man confined to his home due to permanent injury. The single mother with a long-term illness who struggles to feed her family. The neurodivergent jobseeker trying to launch their career. Digital access to employment, education, healthcare, companionship and security are essential in today’s world. With one in six people worldwide currently living with some form of a disability, the term "outcast" covers a wide continuum of critical life impacts. As the number of people with disabilities increases, poorly designed products and services risk alienating this important and growing population. “Digital outcasts” is a term used to describe those left behind the technological curve, due either to a lack of accessibility or the social, economic, and political attributes often associated with disability. Through a grass roots approach to innovation, however, digital outcasts are taking action to transform their lives, homes, and communities. The legacy of human-computer interaction is scaffolded upon the efforts of the disenfranchised user, evinced by the role disability has historically played as a catalyst for design innovation. Citing real-world case studies spanning law, healthcare, creative arts, and social science, Digital Outcasts 2e examines the emergent cultural impact of inclusive design on today’s industrial landscape. Taking into account new legal and technological perspectives, this revision stands as an update on the progress we’ve made—and how far we’ve yet to go.

    • Designing User Interfaces for an Aging Population

      Despite the fact that older adults constitute an ever-growing proportion of the technology-using population, they have often been overlooked when researchers study the habits, abilities, and needs of various user groups. Similarly, many developers and researchers come up short when trying to create new technologies, devices, and interfaces that will satisfy a more general user profile. User study participants have tended to be younger, physically and cognitively fit, and technologically savvy. In Designing User Interfaces for an Aging Population, Second Edition, the authors present the demographics of older adults as a broad group, and describe general sensory, cognitive, physical, and emotional characteristics of older adults. Each age-related characteristic is linked to its potential impact on older adults’ use of digital technology, with examples of problematic technology designs. To improve the user satisfaction, success, and overall experience of using (digital) technology, the authors offer specific design guidelines. These guidelines have been derived from the findings and evidence presented in hundreds of research studies. The studies are sourced from around the world, and address a wide range of study participants and technologies. The second edition is thoroughly updated, including examples, guidelines, and case studies to reflect recent developments in the areas of AI, Robotics, Speech Recognition, and other relevant emerging technologies. Readers will benefit from learning: demographics of users of digital technology; age-related factors affecting ability to use digital technology; common design issues that decrease usability for older adults; guidelines that can help designers avoid these common pitfalls; methods for working with older adults on research and design projects.

      User interface (UI) design rules and guidelines, developed by early HCI gurus and recognized throughout the field, were based on cognitive psychology (study of mental processes such as problem solving, memory, and language), and early practitioners were well informed of its tenets. But today practitioners with backgrounds in cognitive psychology are a minority, as user interface designers and developers enter the field from a wide array of disciplines. HCI practitioners today have enough experience in UI design that they have been exposed to UI design rules, but it is essential that they understand the psychological basis behind the rules in order to effectively apply them. In Designing with the Mind in Mind, best-selling author Jeff Johnson provides designers with just enough background in perceptual and cognitive psychology that UI design guidelines make intuitive sense rather than being just a list of rules to follow.
