This paper investigates the role of conversational AI in improving the quality of decision-making across different stages of the process. Drawing on an experimental study involving 113 students in Dutch higher education, participants engaged in a simulated business challenge using three approaches: no …

Trust in AI is crucial for effective and responsible use in high-stakes sectors like healthcare and finance. One of the most commonly used techniques to mitigate mistrust in AI and even increase trust is the use of Explainable AI models, which enables human understanding of certain decisions made by …

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) aims to provide insights into the inner workings and the outputs of AI systems. Recently, there’s been growing recognition that explainability is inherently human-centric, tied to how people perceive explanations. Despite this, there is no consensus in the research …

Algorithmic affordances are defined as user interaction mechanisms that allow users tangible control over AI algorithms, such as recommender systems. Designing such algorithmic affordances, including assessing their impact, is not straightforward and practitioners state that they lack resources to design …

For people with early-dementia (PwD), it can be challenging to remember to eat and drink regularly and maintain a healthy independent living. Existing intelligent home technologies primarily focus on activity recognition but lack adaptive support. This research addresses this gap by developing an AI …

In the consensus machine, AI acts as a moderating influence to encourage people to find common ground. Moving beyond individual human-AI interaction, we apply AI technology to create a tool that serves people as a group

As AI systems become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives and work, it is essential to contemplate their social role and how they interact with us. While functionality and increasingly explainability and trustworthiness are often the primary focus in designing AI systems, little consideration is …

Concerns have been raised over the increased prominence ofgenerative AI in art. Some fear that generative models could replace theviability for humans to create art and oppose developers training generative models on media without the artist's permission. Proponents of AI art point to the potential increase …

As AI systems become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives and work, it is essential to contemplate their social role and how they interact with us.

Children with cerebral palsy must perform daily exercise which is a tedious and energy consuming task. Exergames can make this routine more engaging, which can increase the compliance of the patient. This research explores the feasibility of an exergame device called the Squid Monster. The device is …
