Human-AI Collective Intelligence
Which factors facilitate success in human-AI collective learning and problem solving?
We explore various factors that determine the performance of teams as they make predictions, perform collaborative tasks, or collectively learn. We use a combination of simulation, online experiments, and descriptive data analysis to explore these questions. We are also interested in the role of Artificial Intelligence in enhancing human collective intelligence, from mediating social learning (e.g. recommender systems that rewire the social network) to enhancing sense-making and foresight (e.g. improving prediction by combining human and AI predictions).
