ABSTRACT
Researchers and designers working in industrial sectors seeking to incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, will be aware of the emerging International Organisation for AI Legibility (IOAIL). IOAIL was established to overcome the eruption of obscure AI technology. One of the primary goals of IOAIL is the development of a proficient certification body providing knowledge to users regarding the AI technology they are being exposed to. To this end IOAIL produced a system of standardised icons for attaching to products and systems to indicate both the presence of AI and to increase the legibility of that AI's attributes. Whilst the process of certification is voluntary it is becoming a mark of trust, enhancing the usability and acceptability of AI-infused products through improved legibility. In this paper we present our experience of seeking certification for a locally implemented AI security system, highlighting the issues generated for those seeking to adopt such certification.

Researching AI Legibility through Design
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsEveryday interactions with computers are increasingly likely to involve elements of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Encompassing a broad spectrum of technologies and applications, AI poses many challenges for HCI and design. One such challenge is the need ...
Behavioural artificial intelligence: an agenda for systematic empirical studies of artificial inference
AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) receives attention in media as well as in academe and business. In media coverage and reporting, AI is predominantly described in contrasted terms, either as the ultimate solution to all human problems or the ultimate ...
Effects of Font Size, Stroke Width, and Character Complexity on the Legibility of Chinese Characters
This study investigated the effects of font size, stroke width, and character complexity on the legibility of Chinese characters. A within-subjects design experiment was employed. Thirty-six subjects participated in the experiment and completed the ...
