Digital Transformation of Collaboration: Proceedings of the 9th International COINs Conference (Springer Proceedings in Complexity)
Springer
July 29, 2020
This proceedings is focused on the emerging concept of Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs). COINs are at the core of collaborative knowledge networks, distributed communities taking advantage of the wide connectivity and the support of communication technologies, spanning beyond the organizational perimeter of companies on a global scale. The book presents the refereed conference papers from the 7th International Conference on COINs, October 8-9, 2019, in Warsaw, Poland. It includes papers for both application areas of COINs, (1) optimizing organizational creativity and performance, and (2) discovering and predicting new trends by identifying COINs on the Web through online social media analysis. Papers at COINs19 combine a wide range of interdisciplinary fields such as social network analysis, group dynamics, design and visualization, information systems and the psychology and sociality of collaboration, and intercultural analysis through the lens of online social media. They will cover most recent advances in areas from leadership and collaboration, trend prediction and data mining, to social competence and Internet communication.

Collaborative Society (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)
The MIT Press
February 18, 2020
How networked technology enables the emergence of a new collaborative society.
Humans are hard-wired for collaboration, and new technologies of communication act as a super-amplifier of our natural collaborative mindset. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series examines the emergence of a new kind of social collaboration enabled by networked technologies. This new collaborative society might be characterized as a series of services and startups that enable peer-to-peer exchanges and interactions though technology. Some believe that the economic aspects of the new collaboration have the potential to make society more equitable; others see collaborative communities based on sharing as a cover for social injustice and user exploitation.
The book covers the “sharing economy,” and the hijacking of the term by corporations; different models of peer production, and motivations to participate; collaborative media production and consumption, the definitions of “amateur” and “professional,” and the power of memes; hactivism and social movements, including Anonymous and anti-ACTA protest; collaborative knowledge creation, including citizen science; collaborative self-tracking; and internet-mediated social relations, as seen in the use of Instagram, Snapchat, and Tinder. Finally, the book considers the future of these collaborative tendencies and the disruptions caused by fake news, bots, and other challenges.

Wearable Technologies in Organizations: Privacy, Efficiency and Autonomy in Work
Palgrave Pivot
December 11, 2018
This innovative book considers the positive and negative impact of wearable technologies on organization and work. First discussing the development and use of this software within the workspace, the author highlights potential issues such as privacy, addiction and lack of work efficiency. Technology has had a major impact on workspace and workforce, and the second section explores how it has emerged as a key driver of collaboration, and what the shortfalls are in terms of autonomy, solidarity and authenticity. Cloud technology, mobile technology, collaboration apps, the Internet of Things, and highly specialized AI bear the promise of a radical enhancement of the way we work and interact. This book discusses the potential future scenarios for wearable technologies in the context of the IoT and as a social and organizational phenomenon.

In the shades of the uncanny valley: An experimental study of human–chatbot interaction
Future Generation Computer Systems 92: 539-548
March 01, 2019
This project has been carried out in the context of recent major developments in botics and more widespread usage of virtual agents in personal and professional sphere. The general purpose of the experiment was to thoroughly examine the character of the human–non-human interaction process. Thus, in the paper, we present a study of human–chatbot interaction, focusing on the affective responses of users to different types of interfaces with which they interact. The experiment consisted of two parts: measurement of psychophysiological reactions of chatbot users and a detailed questionnaire that focused on assessing interactions and willingness to collaborate with a bot. In the first quantitative stage, participants interacted with a chatbot, either with a simple text chatbot (control group) or an avatar reading its responses in addition to only presenting them on the screen (experimental group. We gathered the following psychophysiological data from participants: electromyography (EMG), respirometer (RSP), electrocardiography (ECG), and electrodermal activity (EDA). In the last, declarative stage, participants filled out a series of questionnaires related to the experience of interacting with (chat)bots and to the overall human–(chat)bot collaboration assessment. The theory of planned behaviour survey investigated attitude towards cooperation with chatbots in the future. The social presence survey checked how much the chatbot was considered to be a “real” person. The anthropomorphism scale measured the extent to which the chatbot seems humanlike. Our particular focus was on the so-called uncanny valley effect, consisting of the feeling of eeriness and discomfort towards a given medium or technology that frequently appears in various kinds of human–machine interactions. Our results show that participants were experiencing lesser uncanny effects and less negative affect in cooperation with a simpler text chatbot than with the more complex, animated avatar chatbot. The simple chatbot have also induced less intense psychophysiological reactions. Despite major developments in botics, the user’s affective responses towards bots have frequently been neglected. In our view, understanding the user’s side may be crucial for designing better chatbots in the future and, thus, can contribute to advancing the field of human–computer interaction.

3 Ways ‘Intelligent’ Machines Will Help People Thrive
Forbes
April 05, 2022
1. Enabling Human Progress
Speeding Drug Discovery: Failing fast is crucial in high-stakes research. Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping pharma do it, supercharging the trial-and-error process so scientists can home in on the answers they need. Machine learning apps are crunching oceans of data at speed and simulating the interactions within the body of billions of molecules both existing and theoretical. In the process, they’re revealing complex patterns that can guide researchers. The result: Novel drug development is twice as fast as it was before the advent of AI.
Connecting The Human Brain: Brain-computer interfacing (BCI) tech integrates the human brain into a digital—and specifically AI-powered—network, making it possible for neural signals to trigger physical-world events. Existing applications include tech that will adjust a home’s HVAC system when a resident’s brain signals too cold and move a cursor via a stimulus that beams from synapse to laptop. BCI represents another stride toward the human goal of controlling our environments, so we can live better lives within them.
Helping People With Disabilities: AI has perfected the closed captioning that makes visual media accessible to those with hearing impairments and given rise to obstacle identification, verbal face recognition and scenery identification apps to assist the visually impaired. For those living with paralysis, algorithms interpret the brain’s electrical signals, then detour them around damaged neural matter via surgically inserted interfaces so they can activate otherwise inaccessible nerves and make muscles move.
