People increasingly make decisions alongside artificial intelligence (AI) at work, at school and in healthcare. Deciding whether to collaborate with a partner depends on the impression we form of that partner.

What they work on
- Compare brain activity, measured with functional MRI, while people form first impressions of human versus artificial intelligence (AI) partners.
- Test whether brain responses during initial evaluations of a partner predict later cooperative behavior and decisions in problem-solving tasks with human and AI collaborators.
- Combine neuroimaging and behavioral measures to build a mechanistic account of the thinking and brain processes behind collaborative decision-making in human-AI interaction.
More about the research
Yet little is known about how the brain judges an AI partner compared with a human one, or how those first judgments shape later teamwork.
Why it matters
As AI systems enter workplaces, classrooms and clinics, understanding how people decide whether to trust and work with them becomes practical knowledge. The project adds a brain-level account of how impressions of human and AI partners drive collaboration. That account could eventually inform how human-AI teamwork is designed and studied.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
