Recent technological advances are shifting the role of AI from tool to teammate, sparking a surge of interest in human-AI teams. In fact, tech giants now market “AI teammates,” and military agencies sponsor research on human-AI teams. This new form of teamwork raises the question: how can we apply our knowledge of human teams to enhance teamwork with AI?

Abstract: Recent technological advances are shifting the role of AI from tool to teammate, sparking a surge of interest in human-AI teams. In fact, tech giants now market “AI teammates,” and military agencies sponsor research on human-AI teams. This new form of teamwork raises the question: how can we apply our knowledge of human teams to enhance teamwork with AI? Importantly, AI agents differ fundamentally from humans, impacting the potential effectiveness of human-centered models for human-AI teamwork. In this talk, I will review my recent research that draws on human-centered models of teamwork to facilitate effective human-AI teamwork. These projects examine the conditions under which AI “makes the team,” such as when teammates are most receptive to an AI teammate, the functional roles teammates are most comfortable with AI enacting, and the mental capabilities humans should perceive in their AI to be considered an AI teammate. I will also discuss how, by studying human-AI teams, we may also strengthen our foundational understanding of traditional teams.

Speaker: Noel Kuriakos, Graduate Researcher & Instructor
Abstract: This presentation explores the integration of AI agents and assistants in K-12 classrooms, focusing on how these technologies can transform teaching and learning by enhancing various pedagogical approaches and aligning with established learning theories. AI teaming involves AI agents and assistants working alongside teachers and students to provide personalized, adaptive, and interactive support that meets diverse learning needs. Drawing on cognitive, constructivist, experiential, sociocultural, and distributed cognition theories, the presentation demonstrates how AI systems can facilitate differentiated instruction, manage classroom logistics, and offer real-time analytics and feedback. These capabilities enable teachers to reclaim valuable time to build stronger relationships, foster community, and focus on social-emotional learning that supports dynamic complementarity between academic success and personal development.
The presentation emphasizes how AI agents and assistants empower teachers as relationship-builders, allowing them to focus on creating inclusive, engaging, and supportive learning environments that honor students' cultural backgrounds and social contexts. By handling routine tasks, AI frees teachers to build community, improve school climate, and enhance students' social-emotional skills, which are critical for academic and personal growth. The integration of culturally relevant, responsive, sustaining, and sensitive pedagogies within AI teaming further ensures that AI technologies respect and reflect the diverse identities and experiences of students. Ultimately, AI teaming not only enhances instructional quality but also reinforces the human elements of teaching that are essential for fostering inclusive, student-centered learning environments where every student can thrive.
