Institute for Human & Machine Cognition

Overview

The Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) is a research and development organization based in the United States, focusing on the intersection of human factors and artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 1990, IHMC employs between 51 and 200 individuals and has reported a revenue of approximately 20.45 million USD. The organization's recent work includes research on Collaborative Explainable AI (CXAI) systems, which aim to enhance user understanding and satisfaction with AI technologies. A study highlighted in their published document indicates that access to user-generated explanations within CXAI systems can improve user performance and satisfaction compared to traditional Explainable AI (XAI) approaches. This research emphasizes the importance of collaborative, user-driven explanations in making complex AI systems more comprehensible and trustworthy for users. IHMC's contributions to the field reflect a commitment to advancing the understanding of human interaction with machine intelligence, particularly in developing methodologies that facilitate clearer communication between users and AI systems.
