Daniel S. Weld of the University of Washington in Seattle was part of a team that analyzed 20 years of research on the interactions between people and artificial intelligences. Creating a good artificial intelligence (AI) user experience is not easy. Everyone who uses autocorrect while writing knows that while the system usually does a pretty good job of acthing and correcting errors, it sometimes makes bizarre mistakes. The same is true for the autopilot in a Tesla, but unfortunately the stakes are much higher on the road than when sitting behind a computer. Daniel S. Weld of the University of Washington in Seattle has done a lot of research on human-AI teams.
