WED@NICO SEMINAR: Matt Groh, Kellogg School "Design and Evaluation of Human-AI Collaboration"
Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO)
12:00 PM

Lower Level, Chambers Hall

Speaker:
Matt Groh, Assistant Professor, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University
Title:
Designing and Evaluating Human-AI Collaboration
Abstract:
How can artificial intelligence systems most effectively assist humans in problem solving? This talk will offer a framework for addressing this question in high-stakes, real-world computer vision applications in medicine and misinformation. Specifically, this talk will discuss empirical results from two large-scale digital experiments on the dynamics of physician-machine partnerships in store-and-forward teledermatology diagnosis and AI assistance in deepfake detection. The findings in both experiments reveal that overall increases in task accuracy by humans with AI assistance come with unexpected trade-offs on other performance metrics.
Speaker Bio:
Matt Groh is assistant professor at Northwestern University in the Management and Organizations department at Kellogg School of Management and assistant professor, by courtesy, in the Computer Science department at McCormick School of Engineering, and a core faculty member of Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO). His research examines human-AI collaboration with a focus on deepfake detection, medical diagnosis, and empathic communication. Before joining Northwestern, Matt worked as a data scientist at multiple startups, a non-profit, the World Bank, and DARPA and cofounded a startup. Matt has a BA from Middlebury College where he majored in economics and minored in Arabic and mathematics and an MA and PhD from MIT in Media Arts and Sciences.
