This seminar explores how humans and artificial intelligence systems collaborate on decision-making tasks, and why strong AI performance alone does not guarantee effective teamwork. Drawing on controlled experiments with known ground truth, Dr. Steyvers examines when human–AI collaboration improves outcomes and when it fails, highlighting the role of complementary strengths, uncertainty, and human judgment.
