Title: Supporting Individual and Team SA in the Age of AI
Abstract: Over the past 40 years, research on SA across many highly complex and dynamic environments has been conducted on both individuals and teams. This research provides a strong foundation for improving the design of systems to support SA. Most recently, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly become widespread, and along with it a host of challenges for SA and human cognition. Key strategies for improving SA when working with AI systems will be discussed that are critical for their successful use in a wide variety of applications. Unique aspects of SA in team-based operations will also be discussed, along with issues and strategies for supporting SA in mixed human and AI teams.
