The popular debates about the future organization of work through artificial intelligence technologies focus on the replacement of human beings by novel technologies. In this essay, we oppose this statement by closely following what has been developed as AI technologies and analyzing how they work, specifically focusing on research that may impact work organizations. We develop this argument by showing that the recent research and developments in AI technologies focus on developing accurate and precise performance models, which in turn shapes organizational patterns of work. We propose that the increased interest in the relationship between human cognition and performance will shortly bring human cognition to the focus on AI systems in workplaces. More specifically, we claim that the cognitive load measurement will shape human performance in manufacturing systems shortly.

Ethics of artificial intelligence: moral responsibility of self-driving cars and sex robots Özmen, M. Cem; Demir, Mehmet Hilmi; Department of Philosophy (2019) This thesis analyzes the ethical impacts of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. AI applications are used in many areas to make daily life more comfortable and efficient. They are used for cleaning houses, taking care of old or sick people, working at dangerous jobs replacing human beings, giving medical advisory, preventing fraudulent situations in finance, etc. Similarly, the usage of sex robots, self-driving cars, translation tools, image and emotion recognition applications, etc. are expected ...
Online mining of human deep intention by proactive environment changes using deep neural networks Er, Nur Baki; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) This thesis focuses on surfacing human deep intention, which is known or assumed, in a smart environment that consists of autonomous robotic systems which can interact with the human. Deep intentions are defined as kind of actions that humans would like to behave but pushed deeper in the stack of the intentions in a daily life. The purpose of the designed system is to observe the human in the smart room for a while and to analyze human’s behaviors to offer the optimal set of system behavior to surface a des...
Traversability: A Case Study for Learning and Perceiving Affordances in Robots Ugur, Emre; Şahin, Erol (SAGE Publications, 2010-06-01) The concept of affordances, introduced in psychology by J. J. Gibson, has recently attracted interest in the development of cognitive systems in autonomous robotics. In earlier work (Sahin, Cakmak, Dogar, Ugur, & Ucoluk), we reviewed the uses of this concept in different fields and proposed a formalism to use affordances at different levels of robot control. In this article, we first review studies in ecological psychology on the learning and perception of traversability in organisms and describe how the ex...
Estimation of the user's cognitive load while interacting with the interface based on bayesian network Saydam, Aysun; Barbaros, Yet; Department of Cognitive Science (2021-9-10) The complexity of human machine interfaces is increasing significantly in parallel with the development of technology and excessive data growth, but human cognitive capacity is limited. Therefore, measuring cognitive load is one of the most preferential and common ways to test the usability of user interfaces. There are many different physiological, behavioral and subjective methods to measure human performance and workload. Moreover, there are cognitive predictive models and many related applications based...
Context-aware markov decision processes Ekmekçi, Ömer; Polat, Faruk; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) In the 1990s, when artificial intelligence (AI) research become an important area again, researchers quitted trying to solve the ultimate problem, generating autonomous agents with "human-level intelligence". Currently, significantly important part of the research is highly focused on developing autonomous agents particularly dedicated to solve problems only in a chosen domain. Even though models and algorithms provided in reinforcement learning (RL), such as Markov Decision Processes (MDP), are successful ...
