In ongoing work in our lab #HNL, we explore ‘hybrid systems’ of humans & machines. How does addition of AI to our midst affect how we treat each other? New work spearheaded by @MargaretTraeger & Sarah Sebo, along w @dscaz & @whatsmalteupto is just out: pnas.org/content/early/… 1/
In this @PNASNews paper out today, we show that adding a humanoid robot to a social system engaged in a collective problem helps. When the robot makes vulnerable statements, it enhances communication among the humans *themselves*. pnas.org/content/early/… #hbyridsystems 2/
Video of our experimental set-up for our latest @PNASNews paper via @yale is here: news.yale.edu/2020/03/09/rob… 3/
An @TheAtlantic essay about this broad idea regarding human-AI hybrid systems is here: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… 4/
Prior work of ours, in @nature, showing that adding certain kinds of what we call ‘simple AI’ to social systems can enhance collective problem solving online, is here: nature.com/articles/natur… 5/
