Hybrid Intelligence (HI) is the combination of human and machine intelligence, expanding human intellect instead of replacing it. HI takes human expertise and intentionality into account when making meaningful decisions and performing appropriate actions, together with ethical, legal and societal values. The vision of the project is to design Hybrid Intelligent systems, an approach to Artificial Intelligence that puts humans at the centre, changing the course of the ongoing AI revolution.
This position will serve two purposes:
\- contribute to shaping Hybrid Intelligence as an internationally-recognized area of research; A key goal of this PostDoc position is to scientifically investigate Hybrid Intelligence and contribute toward establishing it as a research field. Your role in the project will be to lead the effort to develop a methodology to identify the levels of hybrid intelligence, design the metrics or processes to measure or assess them, and create use-cases to demonstrate different levels.
\- contribute to the activities of the Hybrid-Intelligence Consortium in establishing and supporting synergies among the individual projects towards the consortium’s goals: The Hybrid Intelligence program consists of many smaller projects that are taken by PhDs and PostDocs to develop Hybrid Intelligence. We aim that the developed methodologies can be used to evaluate how well these projects provide solutions for hybrid intelligence as well as design new use-cases, scenarios or datasets to bring out the hybrid character of individual projects and establish synergies between them. In order to facilitate this, you will interact frequently with the consortium members. These interactions will include regular research meetings and will lead to co-authored papers.
This postdoc position will be based in the Department of Information and Computing Sciences of Utrecht University. You will be part of a dedicated group of researchers from different universities that work in a consortium. The group currently consists of Pınar Yolum (UU), Davide Grossi (RUG), Catholijn Jonker (TU Delft), Pradeep Murukannaiah (TU Delft)and Catharine Oertel (TU Delft). Your position will be within a team at the heart of the consortium that has the ambition to deliver concrete hybrid intelligent output gathered from the broad range of running projects.
