_Zenodo_. 2026This paper examines the systematic linguistic asymmetry present in contemporary discourse surrounding artificial intelligence, particularly large language models (LLMs). While human cognition is commonly described through concepts such as understanding, reasoning, empathy, and intentionality, functionally comparable processes in AI systems are routinely reframed through mechanistic …

A Systems Approach to Redesigning Human-AI Interactions in Gaslift Operations for Upstream Oil and Gas Momoh, Victor I. Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly used to support engineering decisions, yet their value depends on whether humans trust and act on their recommendations. This thesis investigates how LLM response style and user expertise influence trust in a technical context. Gas‑…

The Development and Utilization of Tandem Fluency in Human-Exoskeleton Interaction Author(s) Koo, Bon H. (Brandon)Advisor Petersen, Lonnie G. Terms of use Abstract There is strong demand for portable technologies that enhance human power output while maintaining safety and range, not only in defense and industry but also in aerospace. Exoskeletons and other wearable powered devices have been prop…

Ameca is one of the world’s most advanced humanoid, and human-like, robots. Why? It’s not only Ameca’s incredibly realistic facial expressions and movements—it’s also the robot's ability to hold an engaging conversation with you while smiling and looking you straight in the eyes. That’s why I’m so excited to have Ameca join me as one of the Abundance Faculty members at this month’s Abundance Summ…

Can robots be socially and emotionally intelligent? Embodied, Inc. is a company I’m super excited about to serve this objective. They recently launched a robot called “Moxie” that combines cutting-edge technology to help children develop emotional and social skills. (Full disclosure: I’m an advisor to Embodied’s Founder and CEO Paolo Pirjanian.) In an age of exponential change, how do we raise ou…

The future of work is not about AI replacing humans. It is about designing work so that machines and humans are complementary, not substitutes. As described in my Humans in the Future of Work framework, there are a number of uniquely human capabilities that can be brought together in a wealth of roles that transcend […]

Getting robots to do things isn’t easy: Usually, scientists have to either explicitly program them or get them to understand how humans communicate via language. But what if we could control robots more intuitively, using just hand gestures and brainwaves? A new system spearheaded by researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) aims to […]

**Research from this class has been published as a paper** I just wanted to quickly post a video showing some of the great projects to come out of a class I taught this semester at Griffith University called Human Machine Interfaces. These particular projects are presentations after 6 weeks of development combining research, design and … Continue reading Human Machine Interfaces – Class of 2015

I recently gave a series of opening keynotes on The Future of Customer Experience as part of a roadshow for omnichannel customer experience platform provider Genesys, which is running a global series of events for their lead customers, which includes organizations such as News Limited, Vodafone, Western Union, and the Australian Taxation Office. The central […]
