Broadening horizons: using curiosity to diversify behaviour
Harnessing AI to stimulate curiousity
Design shapes worlds and behaviours, and at its heart this project explores how interactive systems can encourage their users to try new things.
Recent developments in artificial intelligence that can estimate what will make people curious are just one way in which these enquiries are made possible. The expectation is that new ideas will be generated about how interactive technology can encourage diverse behaviour by stimulating curiosity. Building on a greater theoretical understanding of how to diversify user behaviour, these investigations will lead to the creation of a framework for how to design interactive systems that encourage users to try new things.
