We provide arguments for the necessity of broadening the engagement of HCI in translating knowledge created in social sciences to a major force that can drive AI and direct the ways in which it will impact various aspects of our world. We begin to sketch the outline of this engagement as a research agenda within HCI in reference to some of the definitional manifesto on the HCI’s foundational role [4] as an action science [3]. Also, a part of our own research that scrutinizes some of the major AI projects [1–2] informs the presented arguments.
