Human attention is a valuable resource, yet unlike the increasing power of the tech competing for it, attention is limited. Some view our “always-on” culture as akin to addiction, driven by platforms trying to maximize screen time. Today, many people juggle multiple conversations and media, a behavior intensified by digital notifications that constantly interrupt. This […]
Automated vehicles (AVs) promise safer, more efficient transportation, but current systems still require humans to supervise and take control when needed—particularly in SAE Level 2 and 3 automation. Monitoring these systems, however, is an inherently tedious and error-prone task, especially as drivers become distracted by non-driving related tasks like using smartphones or reading. This “supervisory […]
Human decisions are shaped by memory processes – what we know, what we forget, and how we retrieve information in context. Still, most AI systems treat human cognition as static or overly simplified, ignoring the nuanced ways people recall knowledge and apply rules in dynamic environments. While recent advances in generative agents can partly simulate […]
