Abstract

Abstract. This paper focuses on how major national strategies call attention to the
human dimensions of artificial intelligence (AI). All intelligent technologies using
AI are constructed for people as either active users or as relatively passive target
persons. Thus, human properties and human research should have an important
role in developing future AI systems.
In these development strategies, it is interesting to pay attention to the underlying
intuitive assumptions and tacit commitments. This issue is especially interesting
when we think about what governmental working groups say about people
and their changing lives in their strategies.
The traditional stances adopted in writing national strategies, in which technology
development is seen as a purely technical issue, should be challenged. In the
end, by putting human dimensions aside, societies cannot prepare themselves for
the transformation risks. It is also probable that this stance makes communication
between technical and human research more difficult.
