Strengthening Teamwork for Robust Operations in Novel Groups (STRONG): The recent acceleration in the emergence and widespread application of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) is leading to a fundamental revolution in the way that society functions on all levels across the globe. Whether in wrist-worn sleep and activity monitors, online shopping carts, “smart” mobile devices, or even in our vehicles, AI/ML-enabled intelligent agents are quickly becoming ubiquitous and, as such, fundamental to life experience in the developed world. With ever-more intelligent technological capabilities and particularly the increasing availability, modes, and transmissibility of information that can reshape our understanding of the global context and human action within it, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory has established a new collaborative, basic research program (STRONG) with the intent of providing a foundation for enhanced teamwork within heterogeneous human-intelligent agent teams. This new collaborative venture will bring together diverse, multidisciplinary expertise to support scientific breakthroughs within specific, critical scientific questions that must be addressed to enable this future vision.
