Trustworthy Human-Machine Teaming: The Next Stage of Evolution

What does a successful collaboration between humans and AI look like? Military strategists call for “human-machine teaming,” an innovative technique in which humans and AI learn and act continuously. Human-machine teaming can be valuable in military contexts, including safer reconnaissance and perimeter security.

In order for these applications to reach their potential, however, AI practitioners and policymakers must address important questions. How can AI augment human vulnerabilities? How can a wide range of military and civil stakeholders shape the work of human-machine teams? As national AI strategies and laws are enacted, robust, explainable, and reliable standards for human-machine teaming are needed.
