contents Socially shared metacognition (SSM) refers to the collective monitoring and regulation of joint cognitive processes in collaborative problem-solving, and is essential for effective knowledge work and learning. Generative AI (GenAI)-based systems offer new opportunities to support SSM, but emerging evidence suggests that poorly designed systems can encourage over-reliance on AI-generated explicit instruction and erode groups' capacity to develop autonomous regulatory processes. Group awareness tools (GATs) address this challenge through established design principles that make social and cognitive awareness information visible, highlight differences between group members to create cognitive conflict, and trigger autonomous elaboration and discussion, thereby implicitly guiding autonomous SSM emergence. This paper explores the design of GenAI-augmented GATs to support autonomous SSM in collaborative work and learning through an initial literature search, presenting preliminary design principles for discussion.
