Title: Human-AI Interaction Dynamics with Voice-Driven Autonomous Pilots in MEDEVAC Operations While autonomous systems advance, human involvement remains crucial in critical domains like medical evacuation, where precise human discernment is essential. In our study, we explored human-AI collaboration between an AI Pilot (AP) and a medical professional in simulated MEDEVAC situations. We recruited 22 primarily […]
Prof. Karen Feigh participates in a panel discussion at the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society’s ASPIRE 2025 in Chicago, IL.
Topic: Two Sides of the Same Coin? Joint Perspectives From Shared Mental Models and Interactive Team Cognition Theories on Human-AI Team Cognition The ubiquity of AI has made team cognitive science a foundation for understanding what increasingly complex human-AI interactions can achieve. Different models and theoretical frameworks from human teamwork literature offer varying explanations for […]
Teerthaa Parakh presents her paper at the Workshop on Theory of Mind at the 34th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI)
Transparency in AI systems has shown mixed effects on human decision-making, sometimes leading to under-reliance, other times to over-reliance. We investigate this inconsistency through the lens of users’ mental models: internal representations people form about how AI systems behave. Focusing on AI confidence scores as a form of transparency, we examine how users’ trust and […]

Ranjani Narayanan presents her work at the 2025 IEEE Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA) held in Duisburg, Germany. The paper was awarded the Best Student Paper Award of the year. Abstract: With increasing opportunities for collaboration between humans and AI, a crucial aspect of effective teaming is humans’ ability to […]
Ranjani Narayanan presents her paper at HUCAPP 2025
Ranjani Narayanan presents her work at the 2025 International Conference on Human Computer Interaction Theory and Applications (HUCAPP) held in Porto, Portugal. The paper was nominated for the Best Student Paper Award of the year. Abstract: With increasing opportunities for the integration of AI-based decision support tools, human interactions with AI systems must be studied under different […]
Richard Agbeyibor gets his article published at CrossTalk: The Journal of Defense Software Engineering
Rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are bringing increasingly complex autonomy capabilities to the cockpit. Autonomous electric Vertical Take Off and Landing, swarms, Collaborative Combat Aircraft, and other new aviation mission constructs are on the horizon. In the last few decades, military and civil aviation have achieved remarkable safety and effectiveness thanks to automation and […]
Richard Agbeyibor presents at the IEEE/AIAA 43rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC 2024)
Many aviation missions today are accomplished by a heterogeneous crew of pilots and mission specialists. As fully Automated Pilots (AP) are integrated into aviation crews, effective teaming will be necessary for safety assurance and mission effectiveness. This flight simulator study explored teaming between a non-pilot human operator and an AP collaborating on a maritime Intelligence, […]
Richard Agbeyibor presents at the 2024 Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting
This study explores human-autonomy collaboration between a future autonomous pilot and a human crew member pursuing a joint Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission. We introduce a novel open-sourced autonomous ISR interaction domain simulating real-world scenarios. As aviation increasingly integrates autonomy, our focus lies in understanding how various autonomous capabilities and interface features affect trust, […]
