Abstract Synopsis

  • The text discusses the vision of creating machine intelligence that acts as collaborative partners with humans, emphasizing systems that are reasonable, insightful, and trustworthy.
  • It highlights the current gaps in artificial intelligence, which often meet these criteria only partly, and proposes using the science of collaborative cognition to develop true thought partners.
  • The authors suggest a new approach, inspired by computational cognitive science and Bayesian methods, where AI systems actively model and reason about humans and the world to improve cooperation and effectiveness.]
