Master Thesis - How Are Users Influenced by AI Recommendations?
Background
The integration of AI-driven recommendations into AGV systems presents new challenges for expert users who rely on these insights for critical decision-making. This thesis focuses on understanding how expert users perceive and respond to AI recommendations, aiming to identify UI/UX design strategies that promote trust and prevent over-reliance or mistrust. By exploring different visualization methods and ethical considerations, the research will propose guidelines for presenting AI insights in a user-friendly and transparent way.
Goal of the thesis
The goal is to strike a balance between leveraging AI's potential and maintaining human oversight. Ultimately, the outcome will include concrete recommendations for optimizing AI's role in AGV system interfaces. The project will focus on identifying UX characteristics that affect users’ trust and acceptance of AI, and developing strategies to present AI-driven insights in a user-friendly manner.
Expected Outcome:
- Suggestions on how to enhance the integration of AI recommendations.
- Visualisation prototypes.
- UX design guidelines that highlight how to present AI recommendations.
- Identification of the psychological and behavioural impacts.
- List of ethical concerns.
