The broader impact and commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of teams of the future using computer science and artificial intelligence. As various work environments within society shift away from the paradigm of individuals working independently and towards a team based model, it is essential to understand how algorithms can be developed to support such teams. As these algorithms increasingly begin take on more roles—such as decision maker or resource allocator—within human teams, many face a common problem of adoptability by team. The difficulty in integrating various forms of algorithms into teams stems from the lack of understanding of the impact that they have on the complex interpersonal dynamics between team members. As such, it is vital to develop algorithmic solutions that include social rules (e.g. fairness) within their optimization criteria. The proposed Vida algorithm may be among the first set of AI solutions aimed at real time support of teams and teamwork through the inclusion of fair resource allocation. Such an algorithm has a broad range of applications including sports teams, teaching, and software teams where team leaders need to make decisions about how to allocate their attention or resources.This I-Corps project's intellectual merit lies in its ability to support various forms of teams throughout a given task. A large body of research highlights the influence that the allocation of resources has on individuals. Yet, there is still a dearth of algorithms that implement notions of fairness into its allocation decisions. Research has shown that people have the tendency to alter their motivations when unfairness is perceived. The proposed AI-driven Vida algorithm would reinforce research on fairness allocations within human teams.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响和商业潜力是使用计算机科学和人工智能的未来团队的发展。随着社会内部的各种工作环境从独立工作的个人范式转移到基于团队的模型中，必须了解如何开发算法以支持此类团队。随着这些算法越来越多地开始扮演更多的角色，例如决策者或资源分配者，在人类团队中，许多人都面临着团队的常见可采用问题。将各种形式的算法整合到团队中的困难源于对它们对团队成员之间复杂人际关系动态的影响缺乏了解。因此，至关重要的是开发算法解决方案，其中包括社会规则（例如公平）的优化标准。拟议的VIDA算法可能是通过包含公平资源分配的团队和团队实时支持的第一组AI解决方案之一。这样的算法具有广泛的应用程序，包括运动团队，教学和软件团队，团队负责人需要就如何分配注意力或资源做出决定。这本I-Corps项目的知识分子优点在于其在整个任务中支持各种形式的团队的能力。大量研究突出了资源分配对个人的影响。但是，仍然存在算法的死亡，可以将公平概念实施到其分配决定中。研究表明，当人们认为不公平时，人们倾向于改变动机。拟议的AI驱动的VIDA算法将加强对人类团队内公平分配的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
