Christopher Holland looks at how humans and artificial intelligence (AI) technology can work together in an increasingly automated world.
“With the world becoming more automated by the day, there is a need to better understand how humans and artificial intelligence technology will interact and cooperate to complete complex tasks.”

Many people understand that technology is nearly perfect in its ability to come to an answer. With just a basic knowledge of how computers work it becomes clear that any answer that a computer returns is just a result of manipulating numbers and returning the end result of that manipulation. Assuming there weren’t any technological […]
Although many science fiction stories have been successful at feeding us the idea that robots will have a higher level of thinking, there’s a good chance that may not be a potential future of technology. I know that seems crazy, especially given the rate that technology has advanced, but there are some signs that tell […]
A large component of my research is understanding how someone’s trust in an automated system can be measured. For those keeping up with some of my previous articles, you likely will have gotten the impression that trust is a fairly critical component to human-AI teams. Although it is not the sole driver, it has a […]
Well, the unsurprising answer – as with most philosophical questions – is it depends. Not only could we have a long and detailed conversation about what it means to be evil, but we could also cover every topic imaginable, every detail, and still somehow come to different conclusions (as is the way with human nature). […]
Although human-AI (artificial intelligence) teams are a relatively new concept, much of the research on them is well ahead of where such a novel research pursuit should be. One of the primary reasons for this comes from the decades of work that has already been done on human-human interactions. Although computers are nowhere near the […]
For those of you following along with some of my recent blogs, you’ve probably noticed that trust in automated systems is a huge factor in the performance of the team. It’s been a dominant focus of my research largely because of just how much a single variable can affect the outcome of the team as […]
In a recent study conducted through the Cognitive and Motor Performance Lab, we were able to show what happens over many interactions with automation, specifically looking at situations where the automation would learn (i.e. get smarter) over time, compared to automation that would degrade and get worse over time. One thing that has been fairly […]
Although it might sound a little hyperbolic, the fact is that when artificial intelligences (AIs) become smart enough to complete highly complex tasks where they will have to trust humans, they will also learn why not to trust us. Although AIs are not perfect, they are usually really good if we pair them with the […]
With the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into workplaces, it has been expected that the amount of work that can be achieved will increase while also increasing the safety of that work. AI is currently being used in some cutting-edge fields such as aircraft piloting and monitoring, self-driving cars, and stock market trading. However, if […]
Although many people are worried about an artificial intelligence (AI) takeover, technology is not yet and likely quite distant from being able to entirely replace a human when it comes to doing certain tasks. Although we have developed algorithms that are able to do what seems like highly complex behavior, there is still a finite […]
