The lithic assemblage recovered from sublevels VI-B Middle and Upper appears to be the result of Homo sapiens group settlements at Lake Eyasi during the first part of MIS5....
The authors introduce and evaluate an open-source software package and methodological framework for detecting and analysing coordinated behaviour on social media, namely the Coordination Network Toolkit, utilising weighted, directed multigraphs to capture intricate coordination dynamics....

Abstract: Conversational Artificial Intelligence (CAI) systems (also known as AI “chatbots”) are among the most promising examples of the use of technology in mental health care. With already millions of users worldwide, CAI is likely to change the landscape of psychological help. Most researchers agree that existing CAIs...
Abstract: This chapter continues to explore the applied aspects of MHapps and extends the arena to include technologies that use artificial intelligence (AI). Virtual companions (VCs) are AI social chatbot apps and programs produced for a variety of human desires. There are some VCs that have been developed particularly to...
Abstract: Persona identification helps AI-based communication systems provide personalized and situationally informed interactions. This paper introduces pre-training on CNN, BERT, and GPT models to improve persona detection on PMPC and ROCStories datasets. Two speakers with different personalities have dialogues in the PMPC...
Abstract: The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology allows robots to have social functions. In the case of human individuals interacting directly with a robot with artificial intelligence, if the individual can perceive the same or similar feelings as they have when interacting with a real human, the robot can...
Abstract: The revolution of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, and its implications for human–robot interaction (HRI) opened up the debate on crucial regulatory, business, societal, and ethical considerations. This paper explores essential issues from the anthropomorphic perspective, examining the...
Abstract: Robots are a source of evaluative conflict and thus elicit ambivalence. In fact, psychological research has shown across domains that people simultaneously report strong positive and strong negative evaluations about one and the same attitude object. This is defined as ambivalence. In the current research, we extended...
Abstract: In the context of recent demographic changes and related societal challenges, socially assistive robots (SARs) are considered having the potential to support independence and care of older adults. However, little is known about the preferred SAR-features of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) residing in...
Abstract: With robots increasingly integrated into various areas of life, the question of relationships with them is gaining prominence. Are friendship and partnership with robots possible? While there is already extensive research on relationships with robots, this article critically examines whether the relationship with...

Abstract: Chatbots or conversational agents have recently received a new boost, not least due to advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Media reports on individual implementations such as ChatGPT testify to the relevance of the topic and impressively demonstrate their capabilities. However, although these new...
Abstract: The emergence of self in an artificial entity is a topic that is greeted with disbelief, fear, and finally dismissal of the topic itself as a scientific impossibility. The presence of sentience in a large language model (LLM) chatbot such as LaMDA inspires to examine the notions and theories of self, its construction,...
Abstract: The increasing prevalence of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies has led to a surge in the popularity of AI application tools, particularly chatbots, in various fields, including education. This research explores the factors influencing undergraduate students’ inclination to embrace AI application tools,...
Abstract: A growing number of consumer technology companies are aiming to convince older people that humanoid robots make helpful tools to support aging-in-place. As hybrid devices, socially assistive robots (SARs) are situated between health monitoring tools, familiar digital assistants, security aids, and more advanced...
