PROJECT 3: RESEARCH PROJECT

Collaboration between AI and Humans in the workplace is rapidly increasing. Currently AI is predominantly used as a supportive tool. We, however, are convinced that to establish a natural and universally accepted integration of AI technologies into a work environment, the creation of these AI systems should originate from a more post human approach, levelling out the natural hierarchy by introducing AI as an equal team member. In this research we introduce the concept of a Post human AI team member, referring to an AI, placed in a team meeting setting, with an opinion and the ability of emotional expression, enabling humans and AI to naturally bond together.

The introduction of an AI teammate makes us wonder what characteristics ensure good integration of this AI in a business setting, and how one designs an intuitive interaction with this AI? That is how we came up with the research question stated above.

During this project, I developed several valuable skills and insights. I learned how to conduct qualitative data analysis and gained experience working with AI as a design tool.

A major source of inspiration for me was exploring post-humanism, which significantly influenced my perspective on design and technology. Additionally, I learned how to structure a study, considering factors such as sample size and reproducibility to ensure meaningful and reliable results.

This project expanded both my analytical and theoretical understanding, shaping the way I approach research and design.
