Project A03: Co-constructing explanations between AI-explainer and human explainee under arousal or nonarousal
Project A03 investigates the influence of emotions on explanation processes, in particular the question of how arousal affects the processing of explanations. The project team's goal is to develop an interactive system that enables users to understand AI explanations even when they are highly or weakly aroused. To this end, the system should make visible, both to itself and to users, how arousal influences the reception of recommendations and their explanations, and enable targeted interventions in this process.
