Human-Machine Symbiosis (HMS)
Abstract
The Human-Machine Symbiosis (HMS) program will develop technologies 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 developments; respond intelligently to new and unforeseen events; and exhibit behaviors that are typically believed to require common sense. HMS application areas include cyberspace operations and command and control.
