As AI is evolving to change how work is done, how we learn and perform Aptima is hifting some of its focus to understanding Engineering Human-AI Teams - addressing the distinct dynamics and challenges of integrating humans and AI systems to include the shared reasoning, intent, context, and communications required. By placing the human at the center of this relationship, Aptima is engineering solutions for a productive, cooperative, and ethical human- AI future, one that augments—not replaces—humans. Another area of recent focus is Intelligent Performance Assessment where Aptima is combining AI with its proven performance assessment technologies to make sense of thow people handle the enormous increase in not only the amount of data but the diversityof sources. The Aptima effort is provide thetoolse to measure, analyze, and understand this data with theobjective of optimizing human performance. Also of consequence is tackling how humans will use lifelong learning and work. Arguing that periodic, one-size-fits-all training, or classroom-only instruction being no longer adequate to prepare workforces, Aptima is bridging the gap between the demands of work and the need to learn by leveraging the data around us offering analytic models and systems to transform assessments into personalized, high-impact learning experiences that support continuous, ongoing skill and career development. In J anuary 2017, Aptima merged with fellow Massachusetts (128) based, SBIR-involved form Micord. The two together still fall within the employment range of SBIR eligibility
