The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for ideas on how to deploy artificial intelligence and machine learning to help teams in decision-making.
DARPA aims to assess the feasibility of using platforms with basic machine social skills to assist group operations as part of the Artificial Social Intelligence for Successful Teams program, according to an FedBizOpps notice posted Monday.
The ASIST effort wants to deploy “synthetic agents†with the capacity to develop human situational knowledge, predict actions and needs, make inferences on current goals, support teams in intervention planning and execute actions with appropriate timing.
The agents must be able to operate in specialized and complex environments, adapt to sudden changes and use multiple channels to make inferences and predictions.
Evaluation of the agents will be done through open-world environments and standardized interfaces, which include sensing channels as well as communication and action channels.
Interested parties may submit responses through May 17.
