The Microsoft Research Podcast series "Ideas" explores the beliefs, experiences, and positive human impact behind emerging technologies. In this episode, Distinguished Scientist and Lab Director Abigail Sellen discusses her career in human-centric computing and the efforts of the AI, Cognition, and the Economy initiative (AICE) to design AI for people. The focus is on creating developments that support people in growing the skills and qualities they value, while examining the short- and long-term effects of generative AI on human cognition, organizational structures, and the economy.
