Teaming up with information agents

Abstract

Despite the intricacies involved in designing a computer as a teampartner, we can observe patterns in team behavior which allow us to describe at a general level how AI systems are to collaborate with humans. Whereas most work on human-machine teaming has focused on physical agents (e.g. robotic systems), our aim is to study how humans can collaborate with information agents. We propose some appropriate team design patterns, and test them using our Collaborative Intelligence Analysis (CIA) tool.
