Beyond the Black Box: Building Trust in Human-AI Teams (VIRTUAL)
Tuesday, April 28, 2026 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Join Dr. Curt Rasmussen, retired Navy Chief, PhD in industrial-organizational psychology, and architect of superior human-machine teaming, for a 50-minute deep-dive into the future of AI collaboration. Drawing from his patent-pending frameworks like the Multidimensional Algorithm Structure (MAS) and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence Construct (XAIC), Curt will demystify human-machine teaming for audiences from beginners to experts.
In a world where 70–99% of AI projects fail due to predictable risks (Shumailov et al., 2024), this presentation explores how structured methods can turn potential pitfalls into powerful partnerships. Curt defines AI using his RAIC construct—AI as a pattern-spotting system in uncertain data—and shows how tools like MAS (a multi-factor model selector) and XAIC (a transparency builder) reduce failures by addressing black-box decisions, data mismatches, and team unreadiness. Integrating Focal Point coaching modules for productivity and Trust Edge principles for trust-building, he'll share real-world examples from his Interface series on LinkedIn, including workforce AI integration and algorithm categorization.
Whether you're in tech, business, or policy, you'll leave with practical insights to derisk your AI efforts, foster ethical teaming, and drive innovation in Central Pennsylvania's tech landscape. Inspired by the Norns' mythic weave of fate from Curt's Tragic Symmetry framework, this talk reminds us: in human-machine teaming, structured prevention isn't just smart—it's the thread that binds success. Q&A included.
