Michigan Tech PhD student Elijah Nieman is applying human‐decision modelling to train U.S. Navy AI systems to better adapt and make smarter judgement calls in uncertain, evolving environments.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. The technology develops algorithms and systems that enable machines to perceive, reason, learn, and make decisions. This technology is especially important to businesses as Industry 4.0 technologies like big data, the internet of things and cloud computing produce large amounts of data to sort through. AI can identify patterns, suggest solutions and find otherwise unseen problems within this data, becoming a necessary tool to remain competitive.
