Abstract:
AI and autonomous systems are the talk of the town— but are we truly prepared to adopt these systems? What does it mean for the human user to “team” with artificial intelligence or autonomy? This talk will introduce some of the assumptions and challenges with integrating autonomous vehicles into Human Machine Teaming systems and considerations for distributed cognition and autonomy frameworks.
