Abstract:
Creating AI systems that augment human capabilities, psychological functioning, and promote personal and societal flourishing demands expertise in multiple research fields. My research takes an interdisciplinary, human-centered approach to the development of personal AI systems and the understanding of the complexity of human-AI interaction. More specifically, my research: (1) Creates novel AI prototypes through personalized multi-modal systems that support human flourishing by facilitating learning and enhancing well-being; (2) Examining the science of human augmentation by AI systems through large-scale experimental studies that reveal the effects of AI on human decision-making, sense-making, behavior, beliefs, sense of self, and other critical aspects; (3) Proposes new techniques including novel platforms and tools that others can use to implement human augmentation systems; and (4) Develops novel research methods that combine qualitative and quantitative analyses of human-AI interaction. The goal of my work is to establish a new discipline that focuses on the science of human-AI interaction for human augmentation and empowers AI developers with a more informed understanding of the implications of design choices for AI systems that interact with humans. My hope is to catalyze a new intellectual renaissance and contribute to the advancement of AI that benefits the human experience.
The Faculty of Psychology would like to express our sincere appreciation to our guest speaker, Asst. Prof. Pat Pataranutaporn, Ph.D., from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Co-director of the Advancing Humans with AI research program at the MIT Media Lab, as well as to all participants who attended the special lecture titled “Cyborg Psychology: Designing Human-AI Interactions for Promoting Human Flourishing” on July 22nd, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Room 401, Borommaratchachonnani Srisataphat Building, Faculty of Psychology, Chulalongkorn University.
