Notes:
The text discusses the use of virtual humans in various contexts, including healthcare, rehabilitation, and museums, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence in virtual human systems. It also mentions the use of virtual humans for eliciting self-disclosure and the potential for virtual human systems to offer additional clinical benefits in home-based telemental health treatments. The text also discusses the importance of facial expressions in virtual human systems and the use of crowdsourcing techniques to incorporate real humans into virtual human systems. It also mentions the potential for virtual human systems to exhibit social biases and the need for ethical use and design of artificial intelligent care providers. The text also discusses the use of virtual humans for clinical training, treatment, psychological assessment, and clinical intervention following disasters, and the potential for virtual human systems to be used in virtual reality exposure therapy and negotiation simulators. Finally, the text mentions the use of virtual humans in interactive museum exhibits and the use of virtual human systems in multiple museums as guides.
In virtual human systems, emotional intelligence is often implemented through the use of computational models of emotions. These models allow virtual humans to recognize and respond to different emotional states in a way that is similar to how humans would. Virtual humans may also be equipped with skills and strategies to elicit self-disclosure and recognize empathy in order to improve their interactivity and realism. However, emotion recognition and feedback are still largely the domain of humans, despite recent improvements in artificial intelligence.
Virtual humans in home-based telemental health treatments have several clinical benefits. These benefits include improved access to services, convenience, flexibility, and potential cost savings. Virtual humans can be used for a variety of activities, including clinical training, treatment, psychological assessment, and clinical research. They can also be equipped with skills and strategies to elicit self-disclosure and elicit empathic responses from users. In addition, virtual humans can be used to offer additional clinical benefits that are not possible in face-to-face sessions, such as the ability to deliver therapy remotely to individuals in remote or underserved areas.
The ethical use and design of artificial intelligent care providers involves considering a range of issues related to the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Some specific considerations might include:
- Ensuring that artificial intelligent care providers are designed and used in ways that respect the autonomy of the individuals receiving care, including by allowing them to make their own decisions and choices about their care.
- Ensuring that artificial intelligent care providers are designed and used in ways that are beneficent, meaning that they are intended to promote the well-being of the individuals receiving care.
- Ensuring that artificial intelligent care providers are designed and used in ways that minimize potential harms, including physical, emotional, or psychological harms, to the individuals receiving care.
- Ensuring that artificial intelligent care providers are designed and used in ways that are just, meaning that they are fair and equitable to all individuals receiving care, regardless of their background, circumstances, or needs.
To ensure the ethical use and design of artificial intelligent care providers, it may be necessary to establish guidelines and principles for their development and use, and to engage in ongoing ethical reflection and dialogue about the implications of these technologies for the practice of healthcare.
A negotiation simulator is a virtual environment or computer program that is designed to simulate the process of negotiating a resolution to a problem or conflict between two or more parties. It may use virtual human agents or other types of computer-generated characters to represent the parties involved in the negotiation. The simulator may be used for training purposes, to help individuals or teams learn and practice negotiation skills and strategies, or it may be used for research purposes, to study and understand the dynamics of negotiation in a controlled setting. In the context of virtual humans, a negotiation simulator may be designed to provide a realistic and immersive experience, allowing users to interact with the virtual human agents in a way that mimics real-world negotiation situations.
