Extended Abstract: Human-AI Teaming: Cases and Considerations for Professional Communicators

Abstract

Increasingly, professional communication is being produced by machines—that is, artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems that either assist human writers or that produce writing mostly on their own. As writing machines become more advanced, human professional communicators will be called on to partner with these machines as collaborators in various roles. This panel—consisting of three papers presented by five authors—considers some of the implications extending from this technology development: How is professional communication changing because of human-machine teaming (HMT)? What new skills and literacies will be required—from machines as well as humans—as we increasingly partner with machines to create professional communications?
