Metrics and Models for Real Time Inference and Prediction of Trust in Human-autonomy Teaming

Abstract

In future operational Air Force and Space Force settings, humans will interact with ever-more autonomous technical systems. Due to the safety- and mission-critical nature of such systems, warfighter and guardian mistrust, distrust, over reliance, or skepticism of autonomy may lead to ineffective team performances and even disastrous outcomes. A key component to ensure high-performing human-autonomy teams (HAT) is properly calibrated trust. Trust pertaining to many HAT tasks is dynamic, ever-changing in response to repeated human-autonomy interactions. Therefore, to ensure seamless HAT, there is an urgent need to account for this dynamic nature of trust and devise objective, unobtrusive means of inferring and predicting trust.
