Title: Model-Based AI for Safe and Trusted Human-Autonomy Teaming
Abstract : As autonomous systems are increasingly being adopted into application solutions, the challenge of supporting interaction with humans is becoming more apparent. Partly this is to support integrated working styles, in which humans and intelligent systems cooperate in problem-solving, but also it is a necessary step in the process of building trust as humans migrate greater responsibility to such systems. The challenge is to find effective ways to communicate the foundations of autonomous-system behaviours, when the algorithms that drive them are far from transparent to humans. In this talk we consider the opportunities that arise in AI Planning, exploiting the model-based representations that form a familiar and common basis for communication with users, particularly in scenarios involving human-autonomy teaming. In the talk we'll also present the set of new features available in the new recent version of ROSPlan.
