ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Although for simplicity I used the singular “I” as a first- person voice throughout the book, it really does take a village to bring a book like this to life. First of all, I’d like to thank my contrib- uting editor, Daria Kempka, without whose gentle help the content would have been much less friendly and useful. She is the reason you don’t see some of the really bad jokes that my mind kept conjuring up on a regular basis. Daria is also the author of the key section on AI ethics in Part 4 and many important sections and edits throughout the book. If you enjoyed the book, please tell her “thank you!” I also wish to thank the many coauthors who generously contributed their wisdom, insights, skills, and time to deliver the perspectives that make this book so much better. I am truly in your debt. My dear coauthors (in alphabetical order) are: Casey Hudetz Chris Noessel Daria Kempka David Andrzejewski Greg Aper Jakob Nielsen Josh Clark Kathryn Campbell Michael Oren Paul Bryan Ranjeet Tayi Thomas Wilson I also wish to thank the people who do not appear in these pages, including Tej Redkar, my manager at Sumo Logic who came up with some amazing AI- driven projects for me to work on, Itai Kranz, Saurabh Suman, and other members of the UX team at Sumo Logic who provided their generous support for the last two years of my work, and my long- time friend, Jim Mora- bitto, who helped review the book in its early stages. I wish to thank all of the members of my wonderful editorial team for accepting my third book for publication with John Wiley & Sons and for helping me every step of the way— particularly James Minatel, associate publisher, Christine O’Connor, the book’s managing editor, and Elizabeth Welch, without whose generous input and open mind this book would not have been possible. Finally, I want to thank Shannon, Sky, and Juliette for dealing with a very distracted hus- band and father for far longer than it ever seemed possible. I love you.

xxv INTRODUCTION For Captain Bhavye Suneja and his co pilot Harvino, this 6:20 a.m. flight started just like any other. The skies were clear, and the Jakarta Soekarno- Hatta International Airport was not par- ticularly busy. Yet just two minutes after takeoff, the nearly new jet started behaving erratically. The plane warned pilots it was in a stall and began to dive in response. (A “stall” is when the airflow over a plane’s wings is too weak to generate lift and keep the plane flying.) The captain fought the controls, trying to get the plane to climb, but the AI, still incor- rectly sensing a stall, continued to push the nose down using the plane’s trim system. For the next nine minutes, AI and humans fought each other for control as the massive jet continued to buck, losing altitude and airspeed. The chart below dispassionately documents the desperate struggle between human pilots and the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) AI, a real- life HAL- 9000 from Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, determined to act according to its programming (see Figure I.1).

xxvi INTroduCTIoN The “trim manual” line shows the pilot’s efforts to redirect the plane; the “trim automatic” line below shows the MCAS actions (1). In just 12 minutes after takeoff, the AI won the battle, and the ill- fated Lion Air flight JT 610 hit the water, killing all 189 people on board. As I write this introduction in the hot Cali- fornia summer of 2024, it is nearly the sixth anniversary of that fatal crash. Six years later, most people still do not realize that the crash was not, at its core, a hardware or software problem. It was a UX for AI design problem. According to TAC, 737 Max had six “checklists” (predefined procedures pilots have to fol- low to solve a problem) that pertained to the situation faced by JT 610’s pilots: ■ Unreliable airspeed ■ Unreliable altitude ■ Angle of attack (AoA) disagree ■ Speed trim failure ■ Stabilizer out of trim ■ Runaway stabilizer trim Can you guess which one concerned checking the runaway AI’s actions? If you guessed “Runaway stabilizer trim,” you are better at guessing than the pilots of JT 610 were on that tragic day. Greg Bowen, Southwest Airline Pilots Association (SWAPA) Training & Standards Chair, pointed out that the cutout switches (which would have turned off the hallucinating MCAS AI) are the “fourth or fifth” item on the runaway stabilizer trim checklist. In addition to being down on the list of Boeing’s recommended procedures, the runaway stabilizer trim checklist was a “memory item,” which means the pilots had to memorize it. “So one of the things we’re looking at is redesigning that checklist so that it follows the conscript of what people would normally be expected to remember or not,” Greg Bowen said. Not surprisingly, the official regulatory guidance from the FAA has discouraged the use of memory items as part of procedures. “Memory items should be avoided whenever possible,” according to a 2017 Advisory Circular from the US aviation regulator. “If the procedure must include memory items, they should be clearly identified, emphasized in training, less than three items, and should not contain conditional decision steps.” Designers reading this will recognize the problem as a classic “recognition vs. recall” dilemma. It’s much easier to recognize something you see on the screen than to remember something (particularly something you do only rarely) in a stressful situation. In the single case of pilots recovering from an incorrect MCAS activation in the real world, which occurred on a Lion Air flight that took place the day before the crash, it took 3 minutes and 40 seconds for the pilots to figure out what was wrong— with the help of a third pilot who happened to be present to dig through the three separate checklists it took to resolve the prob- lem. Unfortunately, these pilots did not pass on to the next crew all of the information about the problems they encountered. In contrast, pilots on JT 610 could not recall the right checklist to turn off the trim switch. As the captain tried in vain to find the right procedure in the hand- book, the first officer was unable to control the bucking plane.
