A Human-Centered Approach to the Future of AI, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD 1z2342

Abstract: This article examines how organizational leaders can implement a human-centered approach to artificial intelligence integration that enhances rather than replaces human potential. The author challenges the common narrative of inevitable job displacement, arguing instead that AI can boost productivity, improve quality of life, and create new employment opportunities when properly managed. Drawing from examples across manufacturing, ing, and AI development sectors, the article outlines strategies for workforce transformation through proactive role redesign and reskilling initiatives. It emphasizes the importance of embedding human values like fairness, transparency, and privacy into AI systems from their inception, and advocates for multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure an equitable technological transition that distributes AI's benefits broadly while mitigating potential harms to individuals and communities.
