Supporting Calibrated Reliance in Human-AI Collaboration: Different Strategies for Different Tasks
As AI systems increasingly support human decision making, a central challenge is determining what information helps people recognize when to rely on AI predictions and when to question or override them. Across three controlled human-subject studies spanning abstract visual reasoning with RAVEN matrices and deductive logical reasoning with LSAT problems, we examine how different forms of AI support affect human--AI team performance. A multi-stage reveal study shows that AI predictions and explanations can affect objective accuracy and subjective confidence differently. In visual reasoning, LLM explanations do not improve accuracy beyond the predicted answer alone, and no additional support format significantly outperforms prediction-only support; predicted probabilities show the highest descriptive accuracy and error recovery, while a derived selective-automation policy provides a higher-performing reference benchmark. In language-based logical reasoning, by contrast, LLM explanations yield the highest accuracy and error recovery, outperforming expert-written explanations and probability-based support. These results show that no single support strategy is universally effective. Human--AI interfaces should instead be designed to support calibrated reliance and effective error recovery by matching the form of assistance to the task and the evidence available to users.

Beyond Awareness: Investigating How AI and Psychological Factors Shape Human Self-Confidence Calibration
Human-AI collaboration outcomes depend strongly on human self-confidence calibration, which drives reliance or resistance toward AI's suggestions. This work presents two studies examining whether calibration of self-conf…
AI, Take the Wheel: What Drives Delegation and Trust in Human-Computer Cooperative Question Answering?
AI systems are fallible, and humans can make mistakes in deciding whether to trust AI over their own judgment. Thus, improving human-AI collaboration requires understanding when, why, and how humans decide to rely on AI.…
Question AnsweringFrom Accuracy to Readiness: Metrics and Benchmarks for Human-AI Decision-Making
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are deployed as collaborators in human decision-making. Yet, evaluation practices focus primarily on model accuracy rather than whether human-AI teams are prepared to collaborate safe…
Adjust for Trust: Mitigating Trust-Induced Inappropriate Reliance on AI Assistance
Trust biases how users rely on AI recommendations in AI-assisted decision-making tasks, with low and high levels of trust resulting in increased under- and over-reliance, respectively. We propose that AI assistants shoul…
