Abstract
Social AI, agents, chatbots or robots, has the potential to change the way we interact. As they become more affordable, they will have increased involvement in our daily activities with the ability to perform a wide range of tasks, and thus, partner with humans socially and collaboratively. But how do we engineer social capabilities in our AI systems? How do we guarantee that these systems are trustworthy? To investigate these ideas we must seek inspiration in what it means to be social and build the technology to support teams of humans and AI. In this talk, I will discuss how to engineer social capabilities in agents and illustrate this development with some case studies, discussing the challenges, recent results, and the future directions for the field of social AI.
