Persuasive AI Workshop

Human behaviour leads to complex problems, including growing health, environmental, and security issues. Encouraging and supporting behaviour change in individuals, communities, and societies is a difficult, but essential endeavour to address such major global challenges. Persuasive Technology is an interdisciplinary field concerned with designing and developing technologies that promote and sustain beneficial changes in behaviours and attitudes. AI presents a multitude of opportunities to support the optimisation of behaviour change technology, with increasing work focused on understanding what drives human behaviour and exploring effective strategies that influence decisions, attitudes, and behaviours. For example, advances in areas of AI such as machine learning, vision, or natural language processing and generation, can help us understand and anticipate behaviours in different contexts, or assist us in decision-making and adoption of beneficial behaviours. Persuasive AI systems could identify and predict which individuals or groups may benefit from being targeted by interventions, or support the recognition of behavioural patterns and personalise behaviour change interventions for increased effectiveness, engagement, and adherence. Further research is needed in this direction, especially as such systems must also overcome several challenges, remaining subject to issues such as trust, transparency, bias, and accountability. These challenges and opportunities inform the need to cross the boundaries of multiple disciplines and explore the intersection of persuasive technology, artificial intelligence, behavioural sciences, and social sciences.
Call for participation
Call for participation
The 1st Persuasive AI Workshop (PAI 2023) will take place on the 19th of April 2023, in conjunction with the 18th International Conference on Persuasive Technology. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and students from multiple disciplines, including computing science, AI, behavioural sciences, and social sciences. The hybrid workshop will comprise of a full-day set of interactive activities which aim to encourage active discussion and critical reflection. The workshop will feature a keynote talk, paper presentation sessions, a networking session, and group discussion activities. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussion, exploring theoretical and practical considerations and directions for innovation in the emergent field of Persuasive AI.

Ana Ciocarlan is a lecturer in Computing Science at University of Aberdeen and an expert in persuasive technology and human-centred computing, with strong research interests in behavioural sciences. Her research focus is on investigating theory-informed adaptive interventions and intelligent systems to motivate and support behaviour change in a variety of contexts, including health, sustainability, and education, while taking into consideration personal, social, and cultural factors.
John Paul Vargheese is a lecturer in the School of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment at Edinburgh Napier University. His research is primarily based on human-computer interaction, with a focus on persuasive technology and behaviour change interventions. His work involves engaging with user groups to develop rich, theoretically informed user interaction models. He is interested in how user interaction models may be used to address interdisciplinary challenges and in evaluating measures of susceptibility to influence.
Hanna Hauptmann is an assistant professor at the Human-Centered Computing Group of Utrecht University, working on intelligent and interactive health systems. She previously worked at the Data Analysis and Visualization group of the University of Konstanz on human-centered design for interactive intelligent systems by providing, among others, explainable AI, personalization, persuasion, guidance, and gamification. She received her doctoral degree at the Technical University of Munich on building socio-technical systems for healthy nutrition.
