In my talk, I will present two ideas related to human-machine collaboration which emphasize the human-element. The objective is to develop human+AI systems that support and enhance the human experience.

In particular, I will advocate for the development of intelligent systems that

(1) help us embrace boredom and

(2) understand, model and possibly mimic human cognitive biases

We have implemented the first idea whereas the second idea is a new research area that we started just a couple of months ago.
