Presentation
Whither Human Factors in the Era of AI
SessionPoster Session 1
DescriptionThis commentary is inspired by two recent articles in the journal Ergonomics that seem to call in question the purposes and necessity of our discipline of human factors and ergonomics (HF/E). I would like to counter with the argument that there is nothing new under the sun, that the “operating environment” for HF/E has not changed since foundation of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) in 1957, and that we, as members of HFES and researchers and practitioners of HF/E have much to contribute as advocates for humans in the increasingly technological society. This, however, will require refocusing our mission to human (emphasis added) factors, away from technique.
