TRR 318 - Project B05: Co-constructing explainability with an interactively learning robot
Overview
In close collaboration with Project Ö, Project
B05 tackles the question of how explainability can be achieved through
co-construction within learning task rather than an explicit explanation. More
specifically, it investigates how explainees’ mental model about a learning
robot is influenced by their gender, age, and workshops (from Project Ö that inform about AI in general and
co-constructive AI in specific). This project’s theoretical contribution lies
in the investigation of co-construction and its effect in a practice different
from exlpanatory dialog and generates insights into the social con-
textualization of explainability.
