Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/Artificial intelligence empathy

Suggestions

Hello, The chapter on artificial intelligence and empathy is well designed and engaging. The introduction effectively captures readers' attention with a relatable overview, making complex concepts more accessible. The structure, with clear subheadings and examples, is both informative and easy to follow, allowing for a smooth flow of ideas. The scientific foundation, especially the section on "Can AI recognise human emotion?", is solid, with a strong connection between empathy theories and AI’s ability to simulate or facilitate empathetic interactions. This can deepen the theoretical insight and enhance the practical relevance for readers interested in AI applications. Overall, the chapter does an excellent job of explaining the potential role of empathy in artificial intelligence systems. Great work! --Princess Brutus (discuss • contribs) 08:51, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

potential positives?

Hi there! This is such an interesting topic, and you've done a great job highlighting the many disadvantages of individuals relying on AI for empathy. However, it might also be worth exploring some potential benefits (e.g., AI may be more knowledgeable on certain topics in crisis's or accessible when no one else is available).--Jacqueline Di Fronzo (discuss • contribs) 09:43, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Heya,

I've done lots more work on it now, and I am definitely planning to mention positives! Not quite at that point yet, but I hope you like it when I get there :3 U3249300 (discuss • contribs) 06:12, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

1. Title The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted 2. Headings Basic, 1-level heading structure – could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections The Overview and Conclusion should not have sub-headings 3. Overview A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box with an image at the start of this section A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is planned Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended 4. Key points No development It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan Conclusion (the most important section): Hasn't been developed What might the take-home, practical messages be? (What are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title and/or focus questions?) 5. Figure One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented and captioned The figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text Cite each figure using APA style 6. Learning feature Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters (see Tutorial 2) Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies Promising use of quiz question(s) Focus the quiz question(s) on the take-home messages for each focus question Also consider using one or more tables to summarise key information 7. References Very good Well done on identifying a relevant scoping review Are there any systematic reviews about this topic? Check and correct APA referencing style: capitalisation italicisation There are likely to be relevant 2023 to 2024 references 8. Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent 9. User page Very good Description about self provided Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. A link to the book chapter is provided 10. Social contribution Good – two out of three types of contributions made with with direct link(s) to evidence. The other type of contribution is making: posts about the unit or project on other platforms such as the UCLearn discussion forum or on X using the #emot24

Suggestions

Hi! Your work is looking great so far and I saw that you were looking for some suggestions. I hope these are helpful to you and not too late

Visual suggestions:

1. To help with ease of reading, maybe insert your quizzes/tests in text boxes to make them more eye catching as well as separating them from the rest of your text
2. For the section '... broken down into the following components (Kim et al., 2024)', maybe put the breakdown of components in a table so they are easier to understand at a glance.

Something to explore:

If you have the time, maybe mention something about the effects of AI empathy on children and the 'empathy gap'. The 'empathy gap' seems to be something a lot of news articles are talking about and the concern of children so you should be able to easily find some external sources there. Maybe why children are choosing to find empathy from AI over telling a trusted adult about their problems? Or how learning empathy through AI at a young age may effect how they express or find empathy in the future?

Here is an academic source you could potentially use:

General feedback :)

Hey! Your chapter on AI in psychology is very engaging.Here are a few suggestions

You have provided a good overview of how AI recognises emotions through text. Consider diving deeper into the specific algorithms and models used for this purpose. How do these models handle nuances and subtext in conversations?

and maybe

Consider adding more practical applications or real-world examples of how AI is currently being used in psychological support

well done it is very easy to read :) U3219927 (discuss • contribs) 11:24, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an excellent chapter. It makes very good use of psychological theory and research in an interactive, readable manner to address a real-world phenomenon or problem. Very good use of academic, peer-reviewed citations to support claims Under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Solid Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Explains the psychological problem or phenomenon reasonably well Promising focus questions Use open-ended rather than closed-ended focus questions Theory An excellent range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained Builds effectively on related chapters and Wikipedia articles Insightful depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Use tables, figures, and/or lists to help convey key theoretical information Key citations are well used Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Very good review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Reasonably good critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Claims are well referenced Integration Excellent integration between theory and research Conclusion Very good summary and conclusion Address the focus questions Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is very good Avoid starting sentences with a citation unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, it is more interesting for the the content/key point to be communicated, with the citation included along the way or, more typically, in parentheses at the end of the sentence. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking Layout The chapter is well structured Consider using subheadings Grammar, spelling, and proofreading are excellent APA style Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min) Express numbers < 10 using words (e.g., two) and >= 10 and over using numerals (e.g., 99) Figures Well captioned Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example Refer to each Figure using APA style (e.g., "(see Figure 1)"; check and correct capitalisation) Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.) References use reasonably good APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Check and correct use of italicisation Separate page numbers using an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-) Include hyperlinked dois Learning features Excellent use of learning features Very good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Excellent use of image(s) No use of table(s) Excellent use of feature box(es) Excellent use of case studies or examples Excellent use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~15 logged, useful, mostly minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation Overview A slide with the title and sub-title is displayed and narrated — it would help if this was at the start rather than ~30 seconds in The presentation has a basic example to engage audience interest, however it is clear why the launch of ChatGPT is chosen as the illustrative example (e.g., is there an example which better illustrates empathy?) A basic context for the presentation is established Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. The questions that are asked are close-ended rather than open-ended questions Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation addresses the topic An appropriate amount of content is presented — not too much or too little The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes reasonably good use of relevant psychological research The presentation makes insufficient use of citations to support claims The presentation makes basic use of one or more examples The presentation could be improved by providing practical advice The presentation provides easy to understand information Conclusion The conclusion provides a basic summary (verbal) The conclusion provides basic take-home message(s) (verbal) Provide a conclusion slide which summarises the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical, take-home messages in response to each focus question Audio The audio is easy to follow The presentation makes good use of narrated audio Audio communication is well-paced Good intonation The narration is well practiced and/or performed Audio recording quality was good Recording volume was low Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality The narrated content is well matched to the target topic Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes reasonably good use of mostly text-based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read The amount of text presented per slide makes it easy to read and listen at the same time The presentation could be strengthened by including more text (e.g., take-home messages) The visual communication could be improved by including more relevant images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools The visual content is well matched to the target topic Meta-data The correct title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation A good written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. Excellent use of time codes Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not clearly indicated A copyright license for the presentation is not clearly indicated
