(YIP) CALIBRATED NORM VIOLATION RESPONSE IN HUMAN-MACHINE TEAMING

Abstract

For effective human-human and human-machine teaming, all team members must adhere to the team’s shared system of moral and sociocultural norms. By adhering to a set of shared norms, teammates are better able to understand and predict the behavior of their teammates, leading to better shared mental models, shared Situational Awareness, and team Situational Awareness, which in turn promote fluid, safe, trusting and effective team performance. Because norms are learned rather than innate, they must be adhered to, communicated, and enforced by all team members if they are to remain team norms. Accordingly, if a team member violates a shared norm, other team members must take action if they wish to preserve the norm and its associated benefits to team performance, e.g., by communicating the norm to the violator, or enforcing the norm by punishing the violator, either of which will additionally signal to other team members their own adherence to the norm and its relative importance within their own network of norms. Deciding when and how to communicate or enforce norms, however, is a difficult problem.
