Join MINDWORKS host Daniel Serfaty as he takes break from our Leadership series to talk with Dr. Mike van Lent of SOARTECH, Dr. Greg Zacharias of Pasteur Labs, and senior consultant Dr. Fred Diedrich to explore what sort of training will be needed—for both humans and artificial intelligences—to ensure that hybrid human-AI systems and human-AI teams will work optimally together. This dynamic conversation is a continuation of the I/ITSEC 2022 panel of the same name, moderated by Daniel with guests Mike, Greg, and Fred. How will training be designed and apportioned for the human, and the AI, and for the joint system? Or conversely, will humans and AI adapt and evolve regardless of any training that we design?

In Part 2 of this special two-part edition of MINDWORKS, host Daniel Serfaty talks with workspace designer Karin Sharav-Zalkind, human language scientist Mary Freiman, and industrial organizational psychologist Dr. Kara Orvis on what we have learned from working through the COVID pandemic that we can take forward and help us reimagine work in the 21st century.
COVID 19 has been and continues to be the seminal event of our lives. In addition to the obvious threat to our health and safety, it has affected the way we work and perform as humans in very profound ways. In this special two-part edition of MINDWORKS, host Daniel Serfaty talks with workspace designer Karin Sharav-Zalkind, human language scientist Mary Freiman, and industrial organizational psychologist Dr. Kara Orvis on what we have learned from working through the COVID pandemic that we can take forward and help us reimagine work in the 21st century.
These days, whether we are in our cars, at our desks, or at play, we are increasingly surrounded by automation and so-called “intelligent” devices. Do they help us, or do they make our lives more complicated? Join MINDWORKS host Daniel Serfaty as he talks with Valerie Champagne of Lockheed Martin and Sylvain Bruni of Aptima, experts in human-machine capabilities to support decision-making, as they explore what it will take to build a truly intelligent cognitive assistant—one that could more seamlessly improve human performance in mission-critical environments. 
After more than a year of coping with COVID-19, Americans are more concerned with their health and fitness than ever. The fitness and wellness market is today a $1.5 Trillion business. There’s been huge growth in this industry not only because of the increased prevalence of chronic lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes and obesity, but also because of explosion of technologies in this domain. Join MINDWORKS host Daniel Serfaty as he talks with Wishroute founder Jessica Lynch, Sparta Science CEO Dr. Phil Wagner, and Aptima’s Marine Corps fitness planner engineer Angelica Smith as they explore how the intersection of human nature, technology, and data could truly transform our health and wellness.
Human-robot collaboration gives new meaning to the word “disrupt”—but out of those disruptions there’s the promise of ultimately improving human performance in the work place. Join MINDWORK host Daniel Serfaty as he explores this brave new world with Prof. Julie Shah, associate dean of Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing at MIT, and Laura Majors, Chief Technology Officer at Motional, co-authors of the new book, “What to Expect When You’re Expecting Robots: The Future of Human-Robot Collaboration.”
“You can’t improve what you don’t measure. But you cannot measure what you don’t understand.” -LGen John H. CushmanIn today’s complex sociotechnical world, LGen Cushman’s words are more important than ever. Join MINDWORKS host Daniel Serfaty as he talks with Dr. Shawn Weil, Courtney Dean, and Evan Oster of Aptima about what it takes to blend the wisdom that comes from the field with the science that comes from the lab, to optimize and improve human performance in mission-critical settings. 
From the Golem of Prague, to Frankenstein’s monster, to HAL and the Terminator, literature and film are full of stories of extraordinarily artificially intelligent beings that initially promise a brighter future but in the end tragically turn against their human masters. Beyond the Hollywood lore, what are really the issues? Why is it important now, at this juncture, to study the ethics of artificial intelligence? No less than the future of work, of war, of transportation, of medicine, of manufacturing, in which we are blending two types of intelligences—artificial and human.

With MINDWORKS exploring the Magic of Teams over the past few weeks, it seemed like a good time to revisit host Daniel Serfaty’s discussion about human-AI teams with a unique team made up of three humans and one artificial intelligence named Charlie. We’ve combined two shorter episodes into one special edition and—in case you’re thinking you’ve heard these episodes already—this special producer’s cut contains the full-length interview, including material not previously broadcast in the original two episodes. The episode also includes the original introduction to provide context and set -up for this conversation about the magic of of human-AI teams with Aptima’s Dr. Nathan Schurr, Dr. Patrick Cumming, Ms. Deirdre Kelliher, and Charlie herself.
