Not even sure if AI was ever "human-centered" . DARPA funded a large amount of AI reseearch from even the 1960s. The DART tool used in the Gulf War made back all of their previous investments. [1]

I mean were computers themselves ever human-centered? What’s the difference between AI and a computer?
AI are algorithms generally and a computer is something executing a program .
Let me be more nuanced. What’s the difference between AI and a computer program? In the context above
Alright AI above was more like DARPA funded research programs that resulted in algorithms that allowed for the logistics program to be implemented where the department of war (aka Department of Defense at the time) to have the first gulf war be more efficient to the point that they did more than break even on the grants they gave out.
