A broader term encompassing all humanities and human-centered disciplines (philosophy, history, linguistics, arts) brought to bear on the development and deployment of artificial intelligence. It goes beyond fixing bias to ask fundamental questions: What does it mean to be human in an age of intelligent machines? How do we preserve dignity, creativity, and meaning? It's the practice of ensuring that as we build smarter machines, we don't build dumber or lesser humans in the process.
Example: "The ethics board was useless until they brought in a philosopher for human sciences applied to AI—he asked questions about personhood that the engineers had never even considered."
