Many research efforts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have focused on replacing rather than augmenting and empowering human beings. We have developed human-computer collaboration environments to demonstrate the power and the possibilities of Intelligence Augmentation CIA) with human-centered computational artifacts. A focus on IA instead of AI requires different conceptual frameworks and different systems. Our theory is centered around shared representations of context and intent for

Our system building efforts exploit the unique properties of computational media rather than mimicking human capabilities. We have developed (i) specific system architectures including a multifaceted architecture characterizing the components of design environments, and a process architecture for the evolutionary development of such environments, (ii) specific modules such as critiquing systems, and (iii) a variety of design environments for specific application domains.
