Blind spots in human-AI teamwork pose serious risks, warns Talogy’s Chief Scientist

Published

on

New science-backed model will measure the effectiveness of human-AI collaboration.

PITTSBURGH, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As organizations accelerate AI investment and adoption, required human behaviors in the workplace are changing – and so is the nature of job performance itself. Overlaying rapidly evolving technology onto old ways of working creates a costly blind spot that rewards activity over quality and allows AI misuse and over-reliance to thrive.

The highest performing organizations of the future will be defined by their ability to understand, measure and develop the human capabilities that make AI work. Global talent management experts Talogy are introducing a new, science-backed model designed to identify and eliminate those critical blind spots in human-AI teamwork.

With this narrow, short-term focus on immediate efficiency and productivity increases, organizations face serious operational risks. According to Talogy’s Chief Scientist, Ted Kinney, the new model will equip leaders and HR teams with the insights and guidance needed to optimize human-AI collaboration for an agile, future-ready workforce.

“Organizations are focused on measuring AI literacy, self-reported competence, and usage frequency. However, we risk oversimplifying the problem with AI adoption if we ignore the actual quality of the human-AI interaction.

“There is a critical need for organizations to understand how each individual interacts with AI – and the quality of the collaboration. Effectiveness can vary from person-to-person, with some over-relying on AI, others not trusting it enough.

“Without this deeper insight, organizations are putting performance at risk,” Kinney said.

Moving beyond adoption to AI optimization

Talogy’s new Human AI Collaboration Model combines insights from I/O psychology, human factors, cognitive science and educational psychology to map an individual’s natural potential for AI collaboration, how well they work with AI and if it strengthens their skills and outcomes or erodes their capabilities over time.

By identifying specific human strengths and development areas, the model enables employers to optimize human-AI workflows while safeguarding independent critical thinking.

These insights debut within Talogy’s flagship personality assessment, Talogy Caliper™. This integration allows leaders to identify the personal characteristics that shape how a person engages with automated tools, focusing on the foundations of human-AI collaboration:

Judgment – How people evaluate information, uncertainty, context, and risk.Curiosity – How people learn, explore, and adapt as work and tools change.Connection – How people communicate, collaborate, challenge, and stay accountable in AI-enabled work.

Kristin Delgado, psychologist and Talogy’s manager of assessment innovation, led the model’s development and commented, “We designed this to help HR and business leaders understand how an individual’s foundational capabilities and skills are shaping the effective use of – and collaboration with – AI.

“Ultimately, we want to see the workforce of the future strengthen their skills and drive better outcomes alongside AI. Overlooking this critical blind spot risks eroding workforce capability – a risk no business can afford to take.”

Chief Scientist Ted Kinney emphasized that comfortable use of AI and knowledge of AI tools are not the differentiators they used to be. “Knowing how to use AI doesn’t predict better collaboration. What separates strong collaborators from weak ones is the judgment, curiosity and connection they bring to the AI workplace.

“Organizations that shift from static measures of AI familiarity towards a deeper, more nuanced understanding of AI’s role are the organizations that will thrive alongside the AI of tomorrow.”

Music IP Holdings Launches “Click-Through” License Portal for AI Technology Companies

Published

on

By

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Music IP Holdings, Inc. (MIH) today launched a “Click-Through License Portal” that lets AI technology companies license its patented technologies online in minutes. MIH is a leading AI innovation licensing and technology development company setting the standard for authorized AI generation involving existing and new content.

The first-of-its-kind, custom-designed “Click-Through License Portal” allows MIH to quickly and efficiently provide cost-effective patent portfolio licenses to select companies so they can obtain the “freedom to operate” within and across AI markets. The new portal is designed for both technology and content companies that need to license the MIH AI derivatives workflow, Super Fan, Stems and other related patents in the portfolio: https://app.musiciprights.com/company-info

Today’s portal, offered to smaller companies through the MIH Strategic Innovation Partner (SIP) program, is separate from the licensing agreements with large content and technology companies that MIH began announcing in August.

“A great deal of work has gone into this process by our technology, legal and licensing teams. It represents a critical step in MIH’s evolution in 2026. We are laser-focused on protecting content owners and accelerating licenses for AI companies, all while enabling standards and value in the marketplace,” said Daniel Drolet, CEO of MIH.

MIH owns a patent portfolio built for the age of generative AI. The portfolio includes more than 28 patent families and more than 90 issued, allowed and pending assets that together claim the workflow by which AI generation services turn prompts of all types into finished outputs. That workflow runs from intake and interpretation of the request, through checks against rights holders’ content rules, generation, and post-generation review and marking, to controlled delivery under authorization and payment.

“Copyright asks whether something was copied; the MIH patents ask how it was made,” Drolet said. “The MIH portfolio covers those answers across all three major claim categories – methods, systems and software – so rights attach whether or not an output copies anything, and whether or not the output itself can be copyrighted.”

The MIH protections are directed to content in general rather than a single medium, and are being commercialized across music, voice, motion pictures, video, imagery, animation, publishing, and character and franchise IP, as well as name, image and likeness (NIL).

Dealer Spike launches Price Box to put one all-in price on every unit, at no added cost

Published

on

By

Price Box itemizes freight, setup, and fees beneath a single price on dealer websites as all-in pricing spreads from auto to the recreational and equipment markets.

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dealer Spike today launched Price Box, a website feature that shows shoppers one all-in price on every unit, with freight, setup, and fees itemized underneath. Price Box is available now and included with Dealer Spike websites at no added cost.

All-in pricing is already moving through vehicle retail. In March, the Federal Trade Commission sent warning letters to 97 auto dealership groups, saying advertised prices must reflect the total price consumers will pay. Dealers in powersports, marine, trailer, agriculture, heavy truck, heavy equipment and outdoor power equipment are watching the same change reach their markets.

For many of those dealers, the obstacle is practical. OEM MSRPs typically leave out freight and setup, so dealers reconcile fees unit by unit. According to The State of the Dealer: 2026, 54.06% of dealer web traffic happens outside business hours, so shoppers often see that price without anyone there to explain it. Top-turning dealers show pricing on 83.30% of their units, suggesting that showing the price drives faster sales.

Price Box gives each dealer one configurable way to show the full number. Shoppers see a prominent all-in price on listing and detail pages, with base price, freight, setup, documentation fees, and dealer discounts itemized beneath it. Dealers control their fees, labels, and display. Price Box works with any DMS, mapping fees from native fields, such as those in Lightspeed DMS, or from custom fields a dealer has set up. Dealers without a DMS can set store-level defaults or enter fees per unit.

“The price is the price. Shoppers want to see it, and dealers want to show it,” said Nasi Jazayeri, CEO of Dealer Spike. “Dealers didn’t create the gap between MSRP and what a buyer pays, but they’re the ones explaining it. Price Box does that math on the website, based on how each store already prices, at no added cost. Our dealers asked for this, and they helped build it.”

Dealers ran Price Box on live websites ahead of launch, and their feedback shaped the version available today. Dealer Spike will keep adding to it with dealer input.

“When dealers show the whole price, customers get a cleaner, more honest buying experience, and they don’t feel blindsided when they walk in the door,” said Mark Sheffield, Dealer Spike Advisor, Woods Cycle Country. “Dealers stop defending a broken pricing structure and get back to selling. Tools like Price Box make it easier to show the full price on the website, where shoppers start. Trust goes up, and the conflict goes down.”

Key capabilities of Price Box include:

A prominent all-in price on vehicle listing and detail pages, with an itemized breakdown of fees and discountsFee categories, labels, and display that can be set by store or by unitWorks with any DMS, mapping fees from native or custom fields, plus a no-DMS option using store defaults or per-unit entryOptional MSRP or dealer retail reference pricing with savings displayOn/off control with a live preview before changes go publicIncluded with Dealer Spike websites at no additional cost

Price Box is designed to support pricing transparency and OEM advertising requirements. Dealers remain responsible for their own compliance decisions.
