Cooperative Intelligence - A Humane Perspective

In this contribution, we outline our concept of cooperation between humans and intelligent systems which we denote as cooperative intelligence. We argue from a human perspective and emphasize the advantages of keeping the human in the loop rather than targeting autonomous systems. Our focus is respecting human values such as retaining competences, sharing experiences, and self-esteem. We discuss process-oriented requirements for intuitive cooperation like joint goals and shared intentions and social dimensions like empathy, relations, and trust. Finally, we suggest that cooperative intelligence can be facilitated by integrating interaction episodes across multiple system embodiments and instances, achieving the best holistic service with regard to personal preferences and needs.
