”Användarcentrering leder till användarpacificering” kan inledningsvis verka motstridigt jämfört med konventionella sanningar om hur teknologi bör anpassas och designas efter användarnas krav. Kursen i människa-dator interaktion design (MDI-design) tar vid där traditionella MDI-kurser slutar, och utmanar konventionella sanningar om att användaren i centrum leder till ökad brukbarhet av interaktiva“User-centred is off centre” might at first seem counter-intuitive to the traditional notion of user-centred design as means of matching available technology with user wants. However, the HCI-design course takes on the challenge of moving beyond traditional basic means of designing associated with introductory and traditional HCI-courses. Strengths and weaknesses of traditional HCI are critically

Business Decision Management (BDM) handlar om transparens och mänskligt läsbar och regelbaserad beslutslogik i form av beslutstabeller och uttryck som används för att hantera och automatisera operativa och upprepade massbeslut i verksamhetsprocesser. Den automatiserad beslutslogiken är utformad på förhand av människor och inte genererad på något magiskt vis av generativ AI. Till skillnad från dageBusiness Decision Management (BDM) instead deals with transparent and human-readable rules based decision logic in the form of decision tables and expressions, used to manage and automate operational and repeating mass decisions in business processes. Different from today’s AI applications and their enormous foundational models can this decision logic be understood and explained by business expert
