• Title: What Human-Horse Interactions may Teach us About Effective Human-AI Interactions
• Authors: Mohammad Hossein Jarrahi, Stanley Ahalt,
• Abstract summary: We argue that AI, like horses, should complement rather than replace human capabilities. We analyze key elements of human-horse relationships: trust, communication, and mutual adaptability. We offer a vision for designing AI systems that are trustworthy, adaptable, and capable of fostering symbiotic human-AI partnerships.

• Abstract: This article explores human-horse interactions as a metaphor for understanding and designing effective human-AI partnerships. Drawing on the long history of human collaboration with horses, we propose that AI, like horses, should complement rather than replace human capabilities. We move beyond traditional benchmarks such as the Turing test, which emphasize AI's ability to mimic human intelligence, and instead advocate for a symbiotic relationship where distinct intelligences enhance each other. We analyze key elements of human-horse relationships: trust, communication, and mutual adaptability, to highlight essential principles for human-AI collaboration. Trust is critical in both partnerships, built through predictability and shared understanding, while communication and feedback loops foster mutual adaptability. We further discuss the importance of taming and habituation in shaping these interactions, likening it to how humans train AI to perform reliably and ethically in real-world settings. The article also addresses the asymmetry of responsibility, where humans ultimately bear the greater burden of oversight and ethical judgment. Finally, we emphasize that long-term commitment and continuous learning are vital in both human-horse and human-AI relationships, as ongoing interaction refines the partnership and increases mutual adaptability. By drawing on these insights from human-horse interactions, we offer a vision for designing AI systems that are trustworthy, adaptable, and capable of fostering symbiotic human-AI partnerships.

  How we interact with social artificial intelligence depends on the socio-relational role the AI is meant to emulate or occupy. Our analysis explores how differences between AI systems and humans, such as the absence of conscious experience and immunity to fatigue, may affect an AI's capacity to fulfill relationship-specific functions.

  Theory of Mind (ToM) significantly impacts human collaboration and communication as a crucial capability to understand others. Mutual Theory of Mind (MToM) arises when AI agents with ToM capability collaborate with humans. We find that the agent's ToM capability does not significantly impact team performance but enhances human understanding of the agent.
