Abstract
An autonomous agent operating method, system, and computer program product, including configuring an autonomous agent for a task, launching the autonomous agent with an initial update interval, the update interval determining a frequency of the autonomous agent reporting results to a human user for review, measuring the trust level of human user in a performance of the autonomous agent, and dynamically adjusting the update interval based on this measured trust.
Claims20
A computer-implemented autonomous agent operating method, the method comprising:
- configuring an autonomous agent for a task;
- launching the autonomous agent with an initial update interval, the initial update interval determining an initial frequency of the autonomous agent reporting results to a human user for review;
- and
- measuring a trust level of human user in a performance of the autonomous agent.
A computer program product for autonomous agent operating, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform:
- configuring an autonomous agent for a task;
- launching the autonomous agent with an initial update interval, the initial update interval determining an initial frequency of the autonomous agent reporting results to a human user for review;
- and
- measuring a trust level of human user in a performance of the autonomous agent.
An autonomous agent operating system, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to perform:
- configuring an autonomous agent for a task;
- launching the autonomous agent with an initial update interval, the initial update interval determining an initial frequency of the autonomous agent reporting results to a human user for review;
- and
- measuring a trust level of human user in a performance of the autonomous agent.
