Why We Need to Destroy the Illusion of Speaking to A Human: Critical Reflections On Ethics at the Front-End for LLMs

Conversation with chatbots based on Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT has become one of the major forms of interaction with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in everyday life. What makes this interaction so convenient is that interacting with LLMs feels so natural, and resembles what we know from real, human conversations. At the same time, this seeming similarity is part of one of the ethical challenges of AI design, since it activates many misleading ideas about AI. We discuss similarities and differences between human-AI-conversations and interpersonal conversation and highlight starting points for more ethical design of AI at the front-end.

Designing Dynamic Robot Characters to Improve Robot-Human Communications

Socially Assistive Robots navigate highly sensible environments, which place high demands on safety and communication with users. The reasoning behind an SAR's actions must be transparent at any time to earn users' trust and acceptance. Although different communication modalities have been extensively studied, there is a lack of long-term studies investigating changes in users' communication needs over time. Considering two decades of research in Human-Robot Communication, we formulate the need to design dynamic robot personalities to unveil the full potential of SARs.
