AI? Human-AI Collaboration while Keeping a Sense of Self: Self-Awareness and AI in Mixed Reality A Serious Game

Concerns have been raised that AI is being developed in such a way, that its bias goes unnoticed in decision-making and that its decisions will be unintelligible due to the amount of data and the complexity of the analyses involved, which will lead to mistrust. It is also noted that too much reliance on AI can lead to the loss of key skills, expert supervision, professional identity and psychological well-being.
As part of a solution, this white paper presents from an applied philosophical point of view a rudimentary non-technical outline for a mixed reality AI application: AI?, which uses serious gaming to train domain experts in complex and highly automated environments, and collaborate with artificial intelligence (AI) from a sense of self. Self-awareness enables the domain expert to reflect on different alternatives from a human/system perspective and to make human-centric decisions based on the possibilities offered by AI.
AI? seeks to go beyond understanding the human being as a set of measurable properties. AI? differs from current Human-AI collaboration approaches, in (a) that it makes the computational rationality of AI explicit, instead of anthropomorphizing its thinking; (b) by combining the practice of mindfulness with a critical reflection on the Human-AI relationship; and (c) by putting the intentionality of humans first, rather than technologically accommodating humans to act according to AI's computational rational intentions.
