Army researcher promotes cooperation between humans, autonomous machines

“The trust between humans and autonomous machines is a research priority — as machines become integral to society, it is critical to understand the impact on human decision-making.
A fundamental challenge for the adoption of AI in the Army, this research is particularly relevant for the Army’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle modernization priority, as it proposes solutions to promote effective human-machine teaming, de Melo said.
“Research reveals a fundamental bias, whereby humans make decisions with machines that are less favorable than if the partners were humans,” de Melo said. “It is as if machines are treated, by default, as out-group members. The research advances two solutions for overcoming this bias based on social categorization: associating positive social groups with machines — and emotion, and expression of emotion by machines that communicate an affiliative intent.”
