Abstract

Today’s technical problems have been magnified by both the volume of data collected and analyzed and the speed at which it is processed. Human beings cannot possibly understand all the implications of this data. Artificial intelligence (AI) does have the ability to shift through the data, but can it help a human makes sense of it all and can AI offer a viable solution. This presentation is designed to raise awareness of AI as a potential teammate and questions that need to be explored if AI-human teams are to be successful in general and even more so in challenging situations.
