Maritime professionals show positive attitudes toward AI decision support, citing reliability concerns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A survey study explored maritime professionals' attitudes toward AI-supported decision-making in collision-avoidance scenarios for autonomous ships. The research found a generally positive disposition towards maritime technology, with no significant age-related differences in openness and stable trust across various situations. Participants valued AI for decision support, enhanced situation awareness, and confidence building, but expressed concerns regarding AI reliability, potential over-reliance, and the risk of expertise loss. The findings suggest that future maritime AI systems should prioritize calibrated reliance through transparent, dependable, and operationally relevant designs that incorporate domain experts. AI

IMPACT Suggests design principles for AI systems to foster calibrated reliance and address operator concerns in critical decision-making scenarios.
