Developing AI that takes human needs into account

Developing AI that takes human needs into accountThe EU-funded project TEACHING’s machine learning models react to human operators and adapt their behaviour accordingly, offering safer, less stressful and more efficient manufacturing. Autonomous applications that empower humansThe EU-funded TEACHING project sought to address this challenge by developing autonomous applications that leverage human feedback. AI therefore needs to take into account not only the state of the vehicle, but also that of its passengers. The idea is that the AI is fully responsive to the needs of the human, and not just focused on its own production task. “This kind of distributed AI, which takes account of humans and learns, would allow robots to operate autonomously, while being respectful of human needs.” In the long run, this could help to make the workplace safer and less stressful, and help manufacturers to make significant efficiency savings.
