As managing director of The Robotics Hub in Pittsburgh Chris Moehle coordinates investments that build and transform robotics startups. Chris Moehle's interests include augmented intelligence, which involves implementing smart technologies to work with humans instead of replacing them.
Augmented intelligence is about humans and artificial intelligence combining forces to accomplish tasks in a faster, more efficient manner. With augmented intelligence, jobs can be redesigned in ways that can help increase employee efficiency, satisfaction, and safety. This functionality efficiently can improve multiple sectors – such as sales, medicine, pharmacology, and education.
In schools, for instance, teachers spend significant amounts of time preparing for classes, grading assignments, and asserting control. These activities, although required, may not help individual students unleash their potential. Augmented intelligence can help teachers with grading and provide teachers insights on areas where students may need help, through functions such as displaying the amount of time a student spends on each question. With such insight, teachers can adopt a personalized, outcome-based approach by helping each student master areas where they are facing difficulties.
