Dear friends, followers, and skeptics of Human-Centered AI,

We invite you to apply to our SIGCHI-sponsored Summer School on Expanding
the Horizons of Human-Centered AI (HCAI). In this four-day program to be
held from July 24 to July 27, 2019, in New Delhi, India, participants will
engage with various aspects of human-centered AI and discuss the challenges
and opportunities that it presents for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and
HCI-friendly researchers, designers, practitioners, educators, and
entrepreneurs.

The program consists of four modules: Systems and Design, Human-Centered
Machine Learning, AI and Social Good, and Critical Perspectives on HCAI.
Our goal is to identify future roles, undertakings, and collaborations for
participants interested in exploring and expanding on these areas from
varied professional perspectives. We welcome a range of backgrounds,
including HCI of course, but also informatics, computer science, science
and technology studies, communication, product design, global development,
and more. You can find more details in this
