Artificial Intelligence for the Internet of Everything considers the foundations, metrics and applications of IoE systems. It covers whether devices and IoE systems should speak only to each other, to humans or to both. Further, the book explores how IoE systems affect targeted audiences (researchers, machines, robots, users) and society, as well as future ecosystems. It examines the meaning, value and effect that IoT has had and may have on ordinary life, in business, on the battlefield, and with the rise of intelligent and autonomous systems. Based on an artificial intelligence (AI) perspective, this book addresses how IoE affects sensing, perception, cognition and behavior.

Each chapter addresses practical, measurement, theoretical and research questions about how these "things� may affect individuals, teams, society or each other. Of particular focus is what may happen when these "things� begin to reason, communicate and act autonomously on their own, whether independently or interdependently with other "things�.

Human-Machine Shared Contexts considers the foundations, metrics, and applications of human-machine systems. Editors and authors debate whether machines, humans, and systems should speak only to each other, only to humans, or to both and how. The book establishes the meaning and operation of "shared contexts� between humans and machines; it also explores how human-machine systems affect targeted audiences (researchers, machines, robots, users) and society, as well as future ecosystems composed of humans and machines.

This book explores how user interventions may improve the context for autonomous machines operating in unfamiliar environments or when experiencing unanticipated events; how autonomous machines can be taught to explain contexts by reasoning, inferences, or causality, and decisions to humans relying on intuition; and for mutual context, how these machines may interdependently affect human awareness, teams and society, and how these "machines" may be affected in turn. In short, can context be mutually constructed and shared between machines and humans? The editors are interested in whether shared context follows when machines begin to think, or, like humans, develop subjective states that allow them to monitor and report on their interpretations of reality, forcing scientists to rethink the general model of human social behavior. If dependence on machine learning continues or grows, the public will also be interested in what happens to context shared by users, teams of humans and machines, or society when these machines malfunction. As scientists and engineers "think through this change in human terms," the ultimate goal is for AI to advance the performance of autonomous machines and teams of humans and machines for the betterment of society wherever these machines interact with humans or other machines.

This book will be essential reading for professional, industrial, and military computer scientists and engineers; machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) scientists and engineers, especially those engaged in research on autonomy, computational context, and human-machine shared contexts; advanced robotics scientists and engineers; scientists working with or interested in data issues for autonomous systems such as with the use of scarce data for training and operations with and without user interventions; social psychologists, scientists and physical research scientists pursuing models of shared context; modelers of the internet of things (IOT); systems of systems scientists and engineers and economists; scientists and engineers working with agent-based models (ABMs); policy specialists concerned with the impact of AI and ML on society and civilization; network scientists and engineers; applied mathematicians (e.g., holon theory, information theory); computational linguists; and blockchain scientists and engineers.

Putting AI in the Critical Loop: Assured Trust and Autonomy in Human-Machine Teams takes on the primary challenges of bidirectional trust and performance of autonomous systems, providing readers with a review of the latest literature, the science of autonomy, and a clear path towards the autonomy of human-machine teams and systems. Throughout this book, the intersecting themes of collective intelligence, bidirectional trust, and continual assurance form the challenging and extraordinarily interesting themes which will help lay the groundwork for the audience to not only bridge knowledge gaps, but also to advance this science to develop better solutions. The distinctively different characteristics and features of humans and machines are likely why they have the potential to work well together, overcoming each other's weaknesses through cooperation, synergy, and interdependence which forms a "collective intelligence.� Trust is bidirectional and two-sided; humans need to trust AI technology, but future AI technology may also need to trust humans.Assesses the latest research advances, engineering challenges, and the theoretical gaps surrounding the question of autonomyReviews the challenges of autonomy (e.g., trust, ethics, legalities, etc.), including gaps in the knowledge of the scienceOffers a path forward to solutionsInvestigates the value of trust by humans of HMTs, as well as the bidirectionality of trust, understanding how machines learn to trust their human teammates

Interdependent Human-Machine Teams: The Path to Autonomy examines the foundations, metrics, and applications of human-machine systems, the legal ramifications of autonomy, trust by the public, and trust by the users and AI systems of their users, integrating concepts from various disciplines such as AI, machine learning, social sciences, quantum mechanics, and systems engineering. In this book, world-class researchers, engineers, ethicists, and social scientists discuss what machines, humans, and systems should discuss with each other, to policymakers, and to the public.It establishes the meaning and operation of “shared contexts” between humans and machines, policy makers, and the public and explores how human-machine systems affect targeted audiences (researchers, machines, robots, users, regulators, etc.) and society, as well as future ecosystems composed of humans, machines, and systems.

Investigates how interdependence is the missing ingredient necessary to produce operational autonomous systemsIntegrates concepts from a wide range of disciplines, including applied and theoretical AI, quantum mechanics, social sciences, and systems engineeringPresents debates, models, and concepts of mutual dependency for autonomous human-machine teams, challenging assumptions across AI, systems engineering, data science, and quantum mechanics

Bi-directionality in Human-AI Collaborative Systems investigates the foundations, metrics, and applications of human-machine systems, along with the legal ramifications of autonomy, including standards, trust by the public, and bidirectional trust by users and AI systems. The book addresses the challenges in creating synergistic human and AI-based autonomous system-of-systems by focusing on the underlying challenges associated with bi-directionality. Chapters cover advances in LLMs, logic, machine learning choices, the development of standards, as well as human-centered approaches to autonomous human-machine teams. This is a valuable resource for world-class researchers and engineers who are theorizing on, designing, and developing autonomous systems.It will also be useful for government scientists, business leaders, social scientists, philosophers, regulators and legal experts interested in the impact of autonomous human-machine teams and systems.Investigates the challenges in creating synergistic human and AI-based autonomous system-of-systemsIntegrates concepts from a wide range of disciplines, including applied and theoretical AI, quantum mechanics, social sciences, and systems engineeringPresents debates, models, and concepts of mutual dependency for autonomous human-machine teams, challenging assumptions across AI, systems engineering, data science, and quantum mechanics
