What is Embodied Interactive AI?

Fri

Time Friday 10 March, 2023 at 12:15 - 13:00
Place Hum.G.231 & Online via Zoom

In this short talk, we will give a brief overview of what the research field Embodied Interactive AI is and how it relates to other areas of AI.

We will also describe a few domains that are among the most pressing to investigate scientifically:

  • Social interaction with polite and fair robots
  • Human-Human-social connectedness as virtually embodied, with avatars
  • Human-AI interaction with semi-embodied and generative AI as e.g. in Microsoft Bing and ChatGPT

All these domains are highly relevant for applications of AI in, for example, teaching, healthcare, and business, but there is currently very little generalizable understanding of the involved processes.
