Artificial Social Intelligence for Successful Teams (ASIST)
Abstract
The Artificial Social Intelligence for Successful Teams (ASIST) program is developing intelligent software agents that can create shared mental models to enable effective teaming with humans. Theory of mind and the ability to create shared mental models are key elements of human social intelligence. Together these capabilities enable human collaboration and teamwork at all scales, whether the setting is a playing field or a military mission. The ASIST program aims to develop technologies to enable machines to exhibit similar capabilities for collaboration and teamwork with humans, capabilities which can be termed artificial social intelligence. These include the capability to infer the goals and situational knowledge of human partners, to predict what human partners will need, and to formulate context-aware actions having high value to team outcomes. The ASIST program is developing proof-of-concept software agents that demonstrate a machine theory of mind and the capability to participate with humans in an effective team by representing and helping to maintain shared mental models. ASIST aims to provide the basis for machines that can participate effectively with humans on tasks where teamwork is required.
