Human Perceptions of AI Teammates

In this study, we explored human perceptions and expectations of AI teammates in human-AI teaming using a survey with 213 participants on MTurk and a follow-up interview with 20 participants. Our findings highlight people's expectations for AI teammates in a rapidly changing collaborative environment (e.g., instrumental skills for in-game tasks, shared understanding between humans and AI, communication capabilities, human-like behaviors and performance), as well as factors that impact people's willingness to team up with AI teammates (e.g., pre-existing attitudes toward AI, previous collaboration experience with humans).

This study is published and presented at CSCW 2020.
