This document summarizes a presentation on human-centered artificial intelligence. The presentation argues that AI should amplify, augment, enhance and empower people rather than replace them. The goal is to develop AI that is reliable, safe and trustworthy, and provides 1000-fold improvements in human capabilities while ensuring human control. It discusses balancing human control and computer automation, with the ideal being high levels of both through strategies like informative feedback, transparency and accountability. The overarching message is that AI should prioritize empowering and serving all of humanity.
