[HUMANS + MACHINES = HYBRID INTELLIGENCE]
Dellermann et al. (2019)
The basic rational of hybrid intelligence is combining the complementary strengths of heterogeneous intelligences (i.e. human and artificial agents) into a socio-technological ensemble.
We call this Hybrid Intelligence, which is defined as “the ability to accomplish complex goals by combining human and artificial intelligence to collectively achieve superior results and continuously improve by learning from each other.”
Several core concepts of our definition are noteworthy:
Collectively
Hybrid Intelligence covers the fact that tasks are performed collectively. This means that the activities conducted by each part are dependent, however, are not necessarily always aligned to achieve a common goal.
Superior Results
Superior results defines the fact that the system achieves a performance that none of the involved actors could have achieved in a certain task without the other.
Continous Learning
Continous learning a central aspect of is that over time this socio-technological system improves both as a whole and each single component (i.e. humans and machines) learn through experience from each other, thus improving performance in a certain task.
