Reports of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's 2022 Spring Symposium Series

There will always be interactions between machines and humans. When the machine has a high level of autonomy and the human-machine relationship is close, there will be underpinning, implicit assumptions about behavior and mutual trust. The performance of the Human-Machine team will be maximized when a partnership is formed that is based on providing mutual benefits. Designing systems that include human-machine partnerships requires an understanding of the rationale of any such relationship, the balance of control, and the nature of autonomy. Essential first steps are to understand the nature of human-machine cooperation, to understand synergy, interdependence, and discord within such systems, and to understand the meaning and nature of "collective intelligence."
