Title: Interacting with Smart Devices: Acceptability and Trust
Abstract:
This talk presents results from a three-year project about trust between people and devices. The project comprises three parts: (1) a web-based study that investigates users' attitudes toward smart devices and automated agents, focusing on acceptability; (2) a web based game that investigates the influence of situation and device performance on trust in automated agents in a complex scenario, and (3) a continuation of this game where a decision-theoretic companion agent endeavours to assist players (trials to start shortly). The talk will focus on the results obtained from the first two parts, and if time permits, it will describe the third part.
