Human-AI Interaction
The use of AI has significantly enhanced research and practical applications in numerous domains, resulting in the widespread integration of AI systems into our daily lives, such as recommendation systems, intelligent online search engines, decision support systems, and many more. However, the design and development of AI-based technology necessitate a meticulous and comprehensive examination of user experience and human factors, which are fundamental to ensuring the adoption and practical use of such systems.
The purpose of this course is to delve into the intersection of AI systems and humans, critically analyzing different paradigms and methods for designing interactive, human-in-the-loop systems that facilitate a harmonious human-AI relationship. Additionally, this course will introduce methodological and human factors that are vital to ensuring interpretability, transparency, and trust in AI-based systems. In summary, this course serves as a bridge between Human-Computer Interaction and AI, providing a comprehensive understanding of the critical role of human factors in designing and developing practical AI systems that are user-friendly and meet the needs of diverse populations.

The overall plan includes:
- Introduction to serious games
- Introduction to game engines and hands-on exercises
- Immersive game and application development beyond just entertainment purposes
- Interaction techniques such as eye and hand tracking TUMOnline Moodle Seminar (5 ECTS): Recent Advances in Privacy (IN0014, IN2107)
- Usable privacy and security
- Differential privacy
- Information privacy, tech policy
- Privacy enhancing technologies
- Privacy-preserving machine learning The sessions will be devoted especially to develop theoretical understanding of specific privacy topics such as usable privacy and security, differential privacy, information privacy, various privacy enhancing technologies, and privacy-preserving machine learning. In the beginning of the semester, a general introduction to the aforementioned topics will be done. Then, each student will pick a topic by selecting 1-2 research papers provided by the lecturers and study those over the semester with the help of experienced lecturers and tutors.
In addition, in each session, presentations on the selected topics will be carried out by the students. Apart from presentations, the students are also supposed to provide their written report on their selected topic. Regular communication with experienced tutors will ensure in-depth understanding of the selected topic by the students. TUMOnline Moodle Oberseminar "Human-Centered Technologies for Learning"
In this course we will discuss state-of-the art methods and research ideas in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and look at current trends of emerging multimedia technologies for learning. TUMOnline Introduction to Python
