Agentic AI Challenges Team Situation Awareness Assumptions

A March 5, 2026 arXiv preprint by Yingjie Zhang argues that the rise of agentic AI systems—capable of open-ended actions, generative outputs, and evolving objectives—introduces structural uncertainty into human-AI teaming (HAT). It extends Team Situation Awareness (Team SA) theory to reconceptualize shared perception, comprehension, and projection, and outlines a research agenda to sustain continuous alignment under adaptive autonomy.
