Humans & AI

AI is developing rapidly, beyond the pace of human development, and already outperforms humans in tasks at lower levels of abstraction. We believe that humans and AI can work together in collaboration, rather than AI replacing humans. Therefore, effective interaction and hybrid intelligence are at the core of our research. To achieve this, we need to examine the challenges from multiple perspectives: philosophy, regulation, psychology, and sociotechnical systems. We see AI governance, human‑in‑the‑loop operations, and bilateral educational strategies to prepare future generations as key challenges in the near future.

Our focus is on human‑centered technology development, with AI as a central component. We conduct applied research on how humans and technology interact within complex systems. Our research encompasses human behavior, understanding, safety, and trust in automated AI environments. We bring interdisciplinary expertise spanning psychology, human factors, cognitive science, machine learning, AI, and philosophy.

For example, we work on topics such as resilient human–AI collaborations, human–robot alignment, safety and security in the use of AI (including cybersecurity, attacks, and system failures), human–AI crisis management, and human–AI multi‑criteria decision‑making.

We apply our expertise across transport systems (road, rail, air, maritime, space, and drones), as well as in the energy and telecommunications sectors. Our current focus is on crisis management (before, during, and after crises) in human–machine contexts, as well as societal resilience.
