Welp. This is how it all begins. Bow on bended knee before your robot overlords. New research from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) shows (with science!) that when working in groups of three—two humans, one robot—us lowly bags of flesh and blood would rather the robot just take over.
At a time when we’re all asked to fully trust autonomous systems while also fearing robot-caused unemployment, project lead Matthew Gombolay wanted to investigate how humans and robots might actually work together better. “In our research we were seeking to find that sweet spot for ensuring that the human workforce is both satisfied and productive,” he says in a news release. “We discovered that the answer is to actually give machines more autonomy, if it helps people to work together more fluently with robot teammates.”
