Revolutionizing EO Training with AI-Powered, Context-Driven Conversations
Aptima commences development on PLURITAS, an innovative AI-driven plug-in designed to elevate DEI behavioral simulators for more effective conflict resolution in diverse workforces
Aptima, Inc., renowned for its advancements in human-machine teaming and AI-enhanced training solutions, is proud to announce work has begun on PLURITAS’ SBIR Phase I for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). PLURITAS is a cutting-edge plug-in designed to enhance existing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) behavioral simulators. Built with AI-powered, context-driven conversation capabilities, PLURITAS aims to address the evolving challenges of Equal Opportunity (EO) training.
PLURITAS: Plug-In for Learning Using Realistic Interpersonal Training and Assessment Scenarios
In today’s diverse work environments, the ability to navigate interpersonal conflicts effectively is crucial. Traditional EO training, often generalized and lacking focus, has been criticized for its inefficiency and limited impact. Recent research suggests that training with a direct objective—such as increasing awareness of specific challenges faced by colleagues from different backgrounds—yields better outcomes than broad-spectrum approaches. However, maintaining relevance in training as inclusivity standards evolve presents a significant challenge.
PLURITAS addresses these concerns by integrating seamlessly with high-fidelity DEI simulators, such as the University of Southern California’s DIVIS interview trainer. This AI-powered plug-in enhances the simulator’s capabilities by generating dynamic, context-aware conversations tailored to reflect contemporary issues. PLURITAS also features an instructor-in-the-loop configuration, allowing trainers to set specific learning objectives, which drive scenario generation. The adaptive learning backend assesses trainees’ knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) proficiency, adjusting training in real-time to meet individual learning needs.
Adaptive Training for Evolving Workforce Needs
PLURITAS is engineered to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape of workforce diversity. Its AI-driven context-aware conversation generation ensures that EO training remains relevant, addressing current issues and preparing trainees to handle real-world conflicts with sensitivity and efficacy. The system’s instructor-in-the-loop process empowers trainers to focus on particular learning outcomes, ensuring that each training session is both purposeful and impactful.
Beyond the immediate application in EO training, PLURITAS has the potential to benefit any profession where sensitive or stressful interpersonal interactions are routine. This includes roles such as first responders, healthcare providers, and law enforcement personnel. By enhancing behavioral trainers with PLURITAS, organizations can provide their teams with training that is not only more effective but also more closely aligned with the complexities of modern interpersonal dynamics.
