Cleotilde Gonzalez Carnegie (Mellon University): Designing Complementary Intelligence: Cognitive Foundations for Human–AI Teaming (ONLINE)
The next frontier in AI is not about building more powerful models, it is about creating complementary intelligence between humans and machines. This talk explores how insights from cognitive science can guide the design of AI systems that enhance rather than replace human decision-making. I will introduce the concept of Cognitive AI, which models core human cognitive processes such as learning and decision making, and contrast it with the large-scaleoptimization focus of Machine AI. I will describe how these paradigms can be integrated to support effective human–AI teaming. Through mechanisms of shared representations, bidirectional goal translation, human-guided training, and coevolution, we can build AI that aligns with human preferences, supports human judgment under uncertainty, and enables adaptive collaboration in dynamic environments. I will provide an overview of a few examples of Cognitive AI systems that illustrate the interaction between Cognitive and Machine AI.
