Luisa’s interdisciplinary work spans cognitive science in knowledge technologies, intelligence analysis, strategic political decision-making, risk management, and cybersecurity. The main field of research is an engineering approach to the decision-making process under risk, stress, conflict, and unpredictability, ranging from individual, collective, and institutional intelligence applications to computational and artificial intelligence.
CONTEXT OF INSPIRATION
Human intelligence and AI each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Machines are effective and efficient for discovering implicit knowledge or hidden patterns from large-scale data, whereas humans are good at conducting cognitive analysis such as reasoning, inference, and making instinct judgments by taking into consideration dynamic and multiple factors. They do not have to be competitive, mutually exclusive, or one dominating/replacing another. One way to address the above two issues is to marry the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses of human intelligence and AI, making them work in collaboration and cooperation. Hybrid Human–Artificial Intelligence (H-AI) is dedicated to investigating models, methods, technologies, and systems that enable and support the synergy, symbiosis, and augmentation of human- and machine-driven intelligence.
Likewise, the Internet of People (IoP) concept arises. IoP is a new paradigm that represents the mapping of social individuals and their interactions with smart devices to the Internet. It focuses on data collection, modeling, analysis, and ubiquitous intelligence for a wide range of applications of crowdsourced, Internet-based personal information.
