TwoMinds: Understanding How Humans and AI Systems Achieve Mutual Understanding

Funded Research Proposal

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, understanding how humans and machines achieve mutual understanding has become a crucial scientific challenge. Our research addresses this challenge by developing a digital web platform that studies how humans and AI systems communicate and build shared understanding in real-time. While machines can now model our preferences and predict our behavior, they struggle to genuinely understand human meaning and intention. Our platform will generate novel data about human-AI interaction, with direct implications for improving AI systems and enhancing human-machine collaboration. By integrating insights from psychology, computer science, computational linguistics, and organizational behavior, our work builds an essential bridge between human and artificial minds—a critical need for organizations seeking to effectively deploy AI technology.Read More
