Abstract:
Recent technological advances are shifting the role of AI from tool to teammate, sparking a surge of interest in human-AI teams. In fact, tech giants now market “AI teammates,” and military agencies sponsor research on human-AI teams. This new form of teamwork raises the question: how can we apply our knowledge of human teams to enhance teamwork with AI? Importantly, AI agents differ fundamentally from humans, impacting the potential effectiveness of human-centered models for human-AI teamwork. In this talk, I will review my recent research that draws on human-centered models of teamwork to facilitate effective human-AI teamwork. These projects examine the conditions under which AI “makes the team,” such as when teammates are most receptive to an AI teammate, the functional roles teammates are most comfortable with AI enacting, and the mental capabilities humans should perceive in their AI to be considered an AI teammate. I will also discuss how, by studying human-AI teams, we may also strengthen our foundational understanding of traditional teams.
