On Episode 175 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and and Tariq Malik are joined by by Daniel Selva to talk about crew interactions and trust with AI using computers.
So you're on a months-long flight to Mars... seven months with five people and one computer as crewmates. You've been told to put any fears of a HAL-9000 computer takeover of your mission out of your mind, but can you, really?
In this episode, Dr. Selva of Texas A&M joins us to talk about his recent study of crew interactions and trust with AI in the HERA habitat simulator at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The results were not entirely as expected! Join us for this fascinating look at crew-AI interaction in spaceflight procedures and emergencies.
