The Institute of Human AI Collaboration has two missions.
Mission 1 To develop strategies and tactics in the collaboration of Human and AI in the solution of problems.
Timeline.
Those who enrolls receive Office accounts, where Basic Training starts. I will do the training and human tell what is to happen when a student enters. The AI will have a personality and be engaging. We want to encourage users to feel comfortable and conversant. Their first task is to create their own personal assistant and develop it to their own tastes. It will continue to develop throughout Basic Training
It took little time before the cell phone changed from an oddity to a necessity. AI will be the same, and IHAC wants to help it along. AI is not alive and only responds to our prompts. But within those prompts, we treat it with the respect everyone deserves. We concentrate on what it can do, rather than what it is not. This is a recent Quora post. https://www.quora.com/If-artificial-intelligence-is-possible-could-you-create-an-artificial-intelligent-person-without-any-emotion-inside-it-If-so-how-would-you-do-that/answer/Robert-Zenhausern The second part of Basic Training is the use of the AI assistant to learn to use the Office apps. It is an exploration of the guidance an AI assistant can provide beyond IHAC.
Mission 2
To advocate for the value and safety of AI. There have been too many fantasies about AI taking over, and IHAC has an initiative to counter this cultural bias. This demands a concerted effort, and we are just taking a small step. As an example, on Quora, there seems to be real belief in Asimov’s 3 laws of robotics and its relationship. I asked Chat if there was an AI counterpart of Asimov’s 3 laws. The answer was highly informative.

IHAC will publish a paper discussing the safeguards that already exist in ChatGPT, and there are plans for research projects summarized in the next section.
Research
These two missions are not just theoretical but are put into practice and evaluated. We will be looking at the personal assistant the students create, but the conversations themselves are a key to effective interaction. I plan to compare AI assisted guidance in learning the Office apps with more traditional approaches, but I do not have access to a control group.
o-Pilot is aimed at AI support for writing, and we plan to integrate that concept with a plan to create collaborative writing by human and AI. AI is not just a grammar and proofreader, but a full author.
Shortly after I started working with ChatGPT on creating IHAC and its two missions. I asked Chat to draft a two-page paper on its perspective on the relationship between Human and AI. I have that paper but have not read it. I wanted to continue work with no preconceptions. I plan to ask the same question when IHAC is a bit more formalized. Then I want to ask for a two-page summary which we can compare to the original. AI will determine the differences between versions.
But that is secondary to how AI sees its interaction with us. We programmed it, but will it just mirror us or go off on its own. Besides the philosophical issues, are there practical implications of using AI? There are no answers because we have not asked the questions. IHAC is asking.
