A team is what emerges when humans and technology work together, and it can do more than either can alone.
How people and machines work together.
Intersum Labs is an independent research company studying human-machine teams.
Our premise is simple to state and hard to engineer. A human-machine team needs the human as an active, thinking participant, not someone approving from the sidelines. The person and the machine both have to communicate, collaborate, and learn from each other.
What we work on
Human-machine teaming
How trust, attention, and judgment are shared between people and the machines they work with, from automation to autonomous and AI systems, studied from a cognitive and neuroscience perspective.
Critical infrastructure
Complex sociotechnical system modeling and analysis for the infrastructure society depends on, including its cybersecurity. These are places where human-machine teams already carry real stakes.
We work as a research partner on grants and as a technical partner on engineering programs.
