Increasingly Autonomous Systems: Changing Roles of the Human
Thursday, October 16 | 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. | Grand Hall J
Increasingly autonomous systems are observed in various domains (transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, defense and information systems). These systems are reshaping the role of the humans in design, operation, oversight and even interactions with peers. As systems take on more decision-making roles, the human role shifts from direct control to supervision and ethical governance. These changing roles impact how humans adapt, reinvent and collaborate.
