Over the past decade, deep learning has transformed how artificial intelligence (AI) agents perceive and act in digital environments, allowing them to master board games, control simulated robots and reliably tackle various other tasks. Yet most of these systems still depend on enormous amounts of direct experience—millions of trial-and-error interactions—to achieve even modest competence.Over the past decade, deep learning has transformed how artificial intelligence (AI) agents perceive and act in digital environments, allowing them to master board games, control simulated robots and reliably tackle various other tasks.

Understanding how humans and AI or robotic agents can work together effectively requires a shared foundation for experimentation. A University of Michigan-led team developed a new taxonomy to serve as a common language among researchers, then used it to evaluate current testbeds used to study how human-agent teams will perform.Understanding how humans and AI or robotic agents can work together effectively requires a shared foundation for experimentation.

As people increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) in various areas of life to either save time or improve performance, the influence of AI systems grows—as does the risk of untrustworthy results in high-stakes decision-making, like those involving medical or financial choices.As people increasingly use artificial intelligence (AI) in various areas of life to either save time or improve performance, the influence of AI systems grows—as does the risk of untrustworthy results in high-stakes decision-making, like those involving medical or financial choices.Security[#item_full_content]
