Metcalfe et al (1) argue that the greatest potential for human-AI partnerships lies in their application to highly complex problem spaces. Herein, we discuss three different forms of hybrid team intelligence and posit that across all three forms, the hybridization of man and machine intelligence can be effective under the right conditions. We foresee two significant research and development (R&D) challenges underlying the creation of effective hybrid intelligence. First, rapid advances in machine intelligence and/or fundamental changes in human behaviors or capabilities over time can outpace R&D. Second, the future conditions under which hybrid intelligence will operate are unknown, but unlikely to be the same as the conditions of today. Overcoming both of these challenges requires a deep understanding of multiple human-centric and machine-centric disciplines that creates a large barrier to entry into the field. Herein, we outline an open, shareable research platform that creates a form of hybrid team intelligence that functions under representative future conditions. The intent for the platform is to facilitate new forms of hybrid intelligence research allowing individuals with human-centric or machine-centric backgrounds to rapidly enter the field and initiate research. Our hope is that through open, community research on the platform, state-of-the-art advances in human and machine intelligence can quickly be communicated across what are currently different R&D communities and allow hybrid team intelligence research to stay at the forefront of scientific advancement.
