Human-Centered AI, Ben Shneiderman (2022) 400pp., £20.00 hardback, Oxford University Press, Oxford, ISBN: 9780192845290

Let us start with the book’s cover. What a relief! No white, shiny, humanoid robot. No blue, floating, electronic brain. No Sistine Chapel handshake. Instead, the cover shows diverse people interacting with each other and with the world. Shneiderman, an expert in human–computer interaction (HCI), is sensitive to visuals and what they communicate. He briefed the cover design with care: he pro- posed depicting diverse people with regards to gender, age, skin color, and abilities; showing them working together and using technologies to connect and empower them; and including elements from the natural world, such as plants, birds and animals (Shneiderman, 2022).
