This year-long theme focuses on the challenge of designing artificial intelligence (AI) to work with people on important activities—everything from pattern-finding analysis to real-time decision-support to taking action.
Why focus on joint human–AI systems? Because experience with high-consequence, high-uncertainty, and high-complexity systems has taught us three things: (1) joint systems thrive and (2) well-designed joint human-AI systems outperform either in isolation, in part because (3) people remain the only true source of resilience, so they must be explicitly and responsibly included in system design.
To tackle this challenge, we will explore and connect the multidisciplinary foundations of joint Human-AI teaming, including computer science, psychology, communication, responsible design, human factors, ethics, and cognitive systems engineering. From the transdisciplinary perspective that we build together, we envision how human–AI coordination could best take shape at community, societal, industrial, and organizational scales.
But we can’t do this alone. This is your invitation to join us: contribute your perspective, participate in events, and help shape a future where AI-infused technologies are not only powerful, but also work with us.

What We'll Do This Year
Our programming includes brown-bag seminars, regional and national symposia, working roundtables, and concluding with an Ideas-Lab session—bringing people together to synthesize insights and identify the most promising initiatives for moving the field forward. We are also committed to building a communications hub, where we’ll share member contributions, respond to current events, and engage communities, policymakers, industry leaders, and the public.
Meeting and Office Hours
Tuesdays, 3–4 p.m. (in person) — Baker Systems Room 382
