Human-Machine Symbiosis (HMS)
Abstract
The Human-Machine Symbiosis (HMS) program will conduct applied research to enable machines to collaborate with humans as colleagues, partners, and teammates. The world is moving faster than humans can assimilate, understand, and act. At present, we design machines to handle well-defined, high-volume or high-speed tasks, freeing humans to focus on complexity. If successful, HMS technologies will enable machines to do more than execute pre-programmed instructions. Rather, HMS-enabled machines will understand speech; extract information contained in diverse media; learn, reason and apply knowledge gained through experience; identify and work to fill knowledge gaps; extrapolate causal phenomena to anticipate predictable outcomes; and respond intelligently to new and unforeseen events. A companion basic research effort is funded in PE 0601101E, Project CCS-02.
