Abstract

Within the human in the loop context, the realization of a task will not only be the accomplishment of human operator or the autonomous agent acting on his behalf, but rather of both entities, and in which they will have the same possibilities to propose, suspend, and refuse each other. However, this cohabitation is both rich and complex; owing to the fact that the human and the agent are bound to not only agree on the various levels of realization of the task, but also to manage the autonomy -who controls who-. The issue then is to work out a model of an agent authority sharing, for the purpose of safely transferring decision-making control to the human user and vice versa?
