The effects of an agent asking for help on a human's trustworthiness

AI systems have the ability to complete tasks with greater precision and speed than humans, which has led to an increase in their usage. These systems are often grouped with humans in order to take advantage of the unique abilities of both the AI and the human. However, to make this cooperation as efficient as possible, there needs to be a...

Towards Trust in Human-AI Teams

Human-AI teams require trust to operate efficiently and solve certain tasks like search & rescue. Trustworthiness is measured using the ABI model; Ability, Benevolence and Integrity. This research paper tries to observe the effect a conflicting robot has on the human trustworthiness. The hypothesis we try to test is: “human trustworthiness...

Human trustworthiness when collaborating with a friendly agent: Final paper

As technology advances, automated systems become more autonomous which leads to a higher interdependence between machine and human. Much research has been done about trust between humans and trust of humans regarding machines. An interesting question that remains is how the behavior of an agent influences human trustworthiness in a human-agent...

Assisting agent’s effect on the trustworthiness of their human teammate

Collaborative AI (CAI) is a fast growing field of study. Cooperation between teams composed of humans and artificial intelligence needs to be principled and founded on reciprocal trust. Modelling the trustworthiness of humans is a difficult task because of the ambiguous nature of its definition as well as the effect of team work dynamic. This...

Assessing the Changes in Human Trustworthiness as a Result of an Artificial Agent Directing the Human in Joint Activities

The number of collaborations between humans and artificial agents has risen steeply in recent years due to the rapid expansion of AI. Numerous studies in social sciences have already established that trust is a crucial factor in ensuring effective teamwork. While the dynamics of trust in human-human relationships or the effects of human...

Sharing human mental model with an AI agent to achieve team effectiveness

The collaboration between AI agents (Artificial Intelligence) and human is an essential part of achieving complex goals more efficiently. Many aspects are influential in achieving effective teamwork. One of them is trust. In addition, sharing the mental model would improve the understanding of the other’s behavior and the prediction of their...

Influence of shared information on predictability in human-agent teams

Understanding trust in human-agent teams is of utmost importance if we want to ensure an efficient and effective collaboration. It is well known that predictability is a core component of trust, however it is still unclear what kind of information an agent should share in order to be perceived as predictable. Here we show that in a simple world...

The Influence of Information Sharing on the Predictability of the Human to an Agent

Mutual predictability shows itself as a contributing factor to mutual trust and is known to improve the effectiveness in a human-agent teamwork setting. As team members communicate to coordinate the team through the task, the question arises as to what information the human should share to be predictable to an agent. To experiment with measuring...
