Title: Human Computation & Artificial Intelligence – Landscape and Future Direction
Abstract: 
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) attracts much attention. AI makes machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. On the other hand, human computation is a technique that utilizes human abilities to perform computation tasks that are difficult for computers to process. An example of human computation is human drawing. In this talk, we discuss the possibility of AI replacing human computation, and explore the way of AI and human computation working together in the future.
