The Project ReCAIcle
The InnoTeam “ReCAIcle – AI-based Conversational Agent for Sustainable Behavior Change” is a joint research project between TU Dresden and seventhings GmbH.
It investigates whether an AI-supported conversational agent can enable individuals to better understand the impact of their own consumption decisions. A CA is a self-contained information system that can communicate explanations and decision support regarding a target system as an intermediary.
The goal is to sensitise asset users to a more conscious use of resources in the long term. The acceptance and sustained use of this application depends on multiple factors that are examined in a series of experiments.
Factors under investigation
- Trust in the information system
- Target-group-specific information
- Explanations regarding the target system
- Way information is prepared and presented
- Traceability of information generation
- Degree of humanness
- AI-based information processing on large data sets
The InnoTeam programme is part of Saxony's technology funding and is supported by Sächsische Aufbaubank GmbH.
