What is it about?

This is a review of the available academic literature regarding end-user development for Artificial Intelligence. End-User Development is a movement that aims at allowing non-technical people to write computer programs by themselves, either to create new apps or to customise existing one. This literature review explores the existing solutions for creating or customising AI. A brief summary of what we found can be seen by the brief animation below.

Why is it important?

Nowadays, AI is pervasive. Almost all apps and website include some sort of AI. However, currently AI can only be created and customised by technical people, and only some larger companies have enough computing power to create powerful Ai systems. To democratise AI, everyone should be able to create or customise a model for their own needs. However, before inventing new solutions it is important to explore what has already been done: this is the focus of the manuscript.

Perspectives

This work is not only important for understanding what the end-user development research community has already done with AI, but it also raises the importance of allowing a democratisation of the AI field. Furthermore, allowing people to create/customize their own model will inevitably improve the general literacy in AI, making its limits more clear to more people. This literature review thus allows us to gain a perspective on what is there and what can be done in the future.
