About the lab
We believe the future of artificial intelligence (AI) is about better collaboration, not just better code. We call for a strategic shift from developing powerful algorithms to designing intuitive interfaces and workflows that respect cognitive bandwidth. By exploring cognitive demands and opportunities that arise when AI is adopted in the workplace, we address its profound impact on worker workloads and organizational workflows. This ‘human-centered’ approach is essential to unlock the full potential of AI as AI evolves from a simple tool into a collaborative partner. By establishing the human-AI dyad as our primary collaborative unit, we envision a ‘new normal’ for collaborative decision-making—one where the expertise divide is bridged and empowered by the synergy of human and AI.
Openings: PhD recruitment
