The Impact of AI on Online Customer Experience and Consumer Behaviour. An Empirical Investigation of the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Online Customer Experience and Consumer Behaviour in a Digital Marketing and Online Retail ContextKronemann, Bianca January 2022 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is adopted fast and wide across consumer industries and
digital marketing. This new technology has the potential to enhance online customer
experience and outcomes of customer experience. However, research relating to the
impact of AI is still developing and empirical evidence sparse. Taking a consumercentred
approach and by adopting Social Response Theory as theoretical lens, this
research addresses an overall research question pertaining to the implications of
online customer experience with AI on consumer behaviour. A quantitative research
strategy with positivist approach is adopted to gather a large sample (n= 489) of online
consumers who have previously interacted with AI-enabled technology. The collected
data is analysed statistically utilising Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and
Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Empirical findings show strong positive effects
of anthropomorphism of AI, para-social interaction with AI, and performance
expectancy of AI on all three customer experience dimensions of informativeness,
entertainment and social presence. Additionally, there is strong statistical support for
the positive effect of informativeness and social presence on continued purchase
intentions (β= .379 and β= .315), while the effects of entertainment are less strong.
The mediating effects of customer experience have been assessed, highlighting social
presence as most important mediator. This research contributes to knowledge by
extending previous customer experience theory and quantifying the influence of online
customer experience with AI on purchase intentions and eWOM. The theoretical insights also translate into direct implications for marketing practice relating to the design, integration, and implementation of more consumer- and outcome-oriented AI applications. / Faculty of Management, Law and Social Sciences studentship

Addressing Semantic Interoperability and Text Annotations. Concerns in Electronic Health Records using Word Embedding, Ontology and AnalogyNaveed, Arjmand January 2021 (has links)
Electronic Health Record (EHR) creates a huge number of databases which are
being updated dynamically. Major goal of interoperability in healthcare is to
facilitate the seamless exchange of healthcare related data and an environment
to supports interoperability and secure transfer of data. The health care
organisations face difficulties in exchanging patient’s health care information
and laboratory reports etc. due to a lack of semantic interoperability. Hence,
there is a need of semantic web technologies for addressing healthcare
interoperability problems by enabling various healthcare standards from various
healthcare entities (doctors, clinics, hospitals etc.) to exchange data and its
semantics which can be understood by both machines and humans. Thus, a
framework with a similarity analyser has been proposed in the thesis that dealt
with semantic interoperability. While dealing with semantic interoperability,
another consideration was the use of word embedding and ontology for
knowledge discovery. In medical domain, the main challenge for medical
information extraction system is to find the required information by considering
explicit and implicit clinical context with high degree of precision and accuracy.
For semantic similarity of medical text at different levels (conceptual, sentence
and document level), different methods and techniques have been widely
presented, but I made sure that the semantic content of a text that is presented
includes the correct meaning of words and sentences. A comparative analysis
of approaches included ontology followed by word embedding or vice-versa
have been applied to explore the methodology to define which approach gives
better results for gaining higher semantic similarity. Selecting the Kidney Cancer
dataset as a use case, I concluded that both approaches work better in different circumstances. However, the approach in which ontology is followed by word
embedding to enrich data first has shown better results. Apart from enriching
the EHR, extracting relevant information is also challenging. To solve this
challenge, the concept of analogy has been applied to explain similarities
between two different contents as analogies play a significant role in
understanding new concepts. The concept of analogy helps healthcare
professionals to communicate with patients effectively and help them
understand their disease and treatment. So, I utilised analogies in this thesis to
support the extraction of relevant information from the medical text. Since
accessing EHR has been challenging, tweets text is used as an alternative for
EHR as social media has appeared as a relevant data source in recent years.
An algorithm has been proposed to analyse medical tweets based on analogous
words. The results have been used to validate the proposed methods. Two
experts from medical domain have given their views on the proposed methods
in comparison with the similar method named as SemDeep. The quantitative
and qualitative results have shown that the proposed analogy-based method
bring diversity and are helpful in analysing the specific disease or in text
classification.

How is children’s learning experience affected by instructions being given by a human-looking AI instructor instead of a human instructor? / Hur påverkas barns lärandeupplevelse av instruktioner som ges av en mänsklig AI-instruktör istället för en människa?Tällberg, Kajsa, Morelius, Josefin January 2022 (has links)
Our society is becoming more and more digital and the outbreak of COVID-19 has stressed this process even more. Thus, the need for online teaching and learning has increased and many new advancements in technology have been made. These advancements have enabled the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and recent years have consequently witnessed increased attention to the use of AI for educational experiences, not least in K-12 schools. However, today little is known about how students perceive AI-based teaching which makes this area interesting to explore further. This study investigated childrens’ perception and learning experience of videos of a human-looking AI instructor, in comparison to videos of a human instructor. If there would appear to be no negative effects on childrens’ learning experience of an AI instructor, this could be used as a basis for developing the growing field of online education applications for children. The study has undertaken a case study approach. Data were collected through user tests and interviews with six children. The respondents were given video instructions by an AI generated instructor and a human instructor in order to evaluate how their perceived learning experience differs between these two. Primary findings indicate that the respondents notice only small differences between the two instructors. However, the answers from the respondents were very diverse, indicating that some respondents preferred the AI instructor while some preferred the human instructor. A lot of interesting findings, such as that children do not seem to be very observant with small malfunctions, are being discussed, indicating that children's learning experience might at least not be negatively affected by an human-looking AI instructor instead of a human instructor. / Vårt samhälle blir allt mer digitaliserat och utbrottet av COVID-19 har påskyndat denna utveckling ännu mer. Således har behovet av onlineundervisning ökat, och likaså har många nya framsteg inom tekniken gjorts. Dessa framsteg har sedan möjliggjort användningen av artificiell intelligens (AI), och följaktligen har man på senare år sett en ökad uppmärksamhet kring användningen av AI inom utbildning, särskilt i grundskolor. Idag är det dock relativt outforskat hur elever uppfattar AI-baserad undervisning vilket gör detta område intressant att utforska vidare I denna studie undersöks barns uppfattning och lärandeupplevelse av videor med en AI-instruktör med mänskligt utseende i jämförelse med videor med en riktig mänsklig instruktör. Om det inte verkar finnas några negativa effekter på barns lärandeupplevelse av en AI-instruktör kan detta användas som en grund för att utveckla det växande området för onlineutbildning applikationer för barn. Studien genomfördes genom en fallstudie. Data samlades in genom användartester och intervjuer med sex barn. Respondenterna fick videoinstruktioner av en AI-genererad instruktör och en mänsklig instruktör för att utvärdera hur deras upplevda lärandeupplevelse skiljer sig mellan dessa två. Resultatet visade på att deltagarna märkte även små skillnader mellan de två instruktörerna. Svaren från deltagarna varierade dock mycket och antyder att vissa deltagare föredrog AI-instruktören medan andra föredrog mänskliga instruktören. Många intressanta insikter diskuteras i denna studie, t.ex., att barn tenderar att inte vara så observanta på små felfunktioner, vilket indikerar på att barns lärandeupplevelse åtminstone inte verkar påverkas negativt av en AI-instruktör med mänskligt utseende istället för en människa.

This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the current state of AI adoption and the perceived importance of XAI and transparency. The results indicate a significant knowledge gap among SME employees regarding AI technologies, with many expressing a lack of familiarity and trust. However, there is strong consensus on the importance of transparency and explainability in AI systems. Participants noted that XAI could significantly improve trust and acceptance of AI technologies by making AI decisions more understandable and transparent. Specific benefits identified include better decision support, increased operational efficiency, and enhanced customer confidence. The study concludes that XAI and transparency are crucial for building trust and facilitating the adoption of AI technologies in SMEs. By making AI systems more comprehensible, XAI addresses the challenges posed by limited technical expertise and promotes broader acceptance of AI. The research emphasizes the need for continuous education and clear communication strategies to improve AI understanding among stakeholders within SMEs. To enhance transparency and user trust in AI systems, SMEs should prioritize the integration of XAI frameworks. It is essential to develop user-centered tools that provide clear explanations of AI decisions and to invest in ongoing education and training programs. Additionally, a company culture that values transparency and ethical AI practices would further support the successful adoption of AI technologies. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on AI adoption in SMEs by providing empirical evidence on the role of XAI in building trust and improving transparency. It offers practical recommendations for SMEs to effectively leverage AI technologies while ensuring ethical and transparent AI practices in line with regulatory requirements and societal expectations. / Studien undersöker hur förklarbar AI (XAI) och transparens kan öka förtroendet och underlätta införandet av AI-teknologier inom små och medelstora företag (SME). Dessa företag står inför betydande utmaningar vid integrationen av AI på grund av begränsad teknisk expertis och resurser. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur XAI kan överbrygga klyftan mellan komplexa AI-modeller och mänsklig förståelse, vilket i sin tur främjar förtroende och operationell effektivitet. Forskningsmetodiken inkluderar en fallstudie med en litteraturöversikt och expertintervjuer. Litteraturöversikten ger bakgrund och kontext till forskningsfrågan, medan expertintervjuerna samlar insikter från anställda i olika roller och med olika erfarenhetsnivåer i de deltagande SMEs. Detta tillvägagångssätt gav en omfattande förståelse av det nuvarande tillståndet för AI adoption och den upplevda vikten av XAI och transparens. Resultaten visar på en betydande kunskapslucka bland SME-anställda när det gäller AI teknologier, med många som uttrycker en brist på bekantskap och förtroende. Det råder dock stark enighet om vikten av transparens och förklarbarhet i AI-system. Deltagarna angav att XAI avsevärt kunde förbättra förtroendet och acceptansen av AI-teknologier genom att göra AI beslut mer förståeliga och transparenta. Specifika fördelar som identifierades inkluderar bättre beslutsstöd, ökad operationell effektivitet och ökat kundförtroende. Studien drar slutsatsen att XAI och transparens är avgörande för att skapa förtroende och underlätta införandet av AI-teknologier i SME. Genom att göra AI-system mer förståeliga adresserar XAI utmaningarna med begränsad teknisk expertis och främjar en bredare acceptans av AI. Forskningen understryker behovet av kontinuerlig utbildning och tydliga kommunikationsstrategier för att förbättra AI-förståelsen bland intressenter inom SME. För att öka transparensen och användarförtroendet i AI-system bör SME prioritera integrationen av XAI-ramverk. Det är viktigt att utveckla användarcentrerade verktyg som ger tydliga förklaringar av AI-beslut och att investera i kontinuerliga utbildnings- och träningsprogram. Dessutom kommer en organisationskultur som värderar transparens och etiska AI-praktiker ytterligare stödja det framgångsrika införandet av AI-teknologier. Studien bidrar till den pågående diskursen om AI-adoption i SME genom att tillhandahålla empiriska bevis på rollenav XAI i att bygga förtroende och förbättra transparens. Den erbjuder praktiska rekommendationer för SME att effektivt utnyttja AI-teknologier, och säkerställa etiska och transparenta AI-praktiker som är i linje med regulatoriska krav och samhälleliga förväntningar.

Natural language processing (NLP) in Artificial Intelligence (AI): a functional linguistic perspectivePanesar, Kulvinder 07 October 2020 (has links)
Yes / This chapter encapsulates the multi-disciplinary nature that facilitates
NLP in AI and reports on a linguistically orientated conversational software
agent (CSA) (Panesar 2017) framework sensitive to natural language processing
(NLP), language in the agent environment. We present a novel computational approach of using the functional linguistic theory of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) as the linguistic engine. Viewing language as action, utterances
change the state of the world, and hence speakers and hearer’s mental state
change as a result of these utterances. The plan-based method of discourse
management (DM) using the BDI model architecture is deployed, to support a
greater complexity of conversation. This CSA investigates the integration,
intersection and interface of the language, knowledge, speech act constructions
(SAC) as a grammatical object, and the sub-model of BDI and DM for NLP. We
present an investigation into the intersection and interface between our
linguistic and knowledge (belief base) models for both dialogue management
and planning. The architecture has three-phase models: (1) a linguistic model based on RRG; (2) Agent Cognitive Model (ACM) with (a) knowledge representation model employing conceptual graphs (CGs) serialised to Resource Description Framework (RDF); (b) a planning model underpinned by BDI concepts and intentionality and rational interaction; and (3) a dialogue model employing common ground. Use of RRG as a linguistic engine for the CSA was successful. We identify the complexity of the semantic gap of internal representations with details of a conceptual bridging solution.

A State-of-the-Art Artificial intelligence model for Infectious Disease Outbreak Prediction. Infectious disease outbreak have been predicted in England and Wales using Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, and Fast Fourier Transform for COVID-19.Fayad, Moataz B.M. January 2023 (has links)
The pandemic produced by the COVID-19 virus has resulted in an estimated 6.4 million deaths worldwide and a rise in unemployment rates, notably in the UK. Healthcare monitoring systems encounter several obstacles when regulating and anticipating epidemics. The study aims to present the AF-HIDOP model, an artificial neural network Fast Fourier Transform hybrid technique, for the early identification and prediction of the risk of Covid-19 spreading within a specific time and region. The model consists of the following five stages: 1) Data collection and preprocessing from reliable sources; 2) Optimal machine learning algorithm selection, with the Random Forest tree (RF) classifier achieving 94.4% accuracy; 3) Dimensionality reduction utilising principal components analysis (PCA) to optimise the impact of the data volume; 4) Predicting case numbers utilising an artificial neural network model, with 52% accuracy; 5) Enhancing accuracy by incorporating Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) feature extraction and ANN, resulting in 91% accuracy for multi-level spread risk classification. The AF-HIDOP model provides prediction accuracy ranging from moderate to high, addressing issues in healthcare-based datasets and costs of computing, and may have potential uses in monitoring and managing infectious disease epidemics.

AI–Driven Operational Efficiency & AI Adoption in Real Estate in Sweden / AI–driven operationell effektivitet och AI adoptering inom fastighetsbranschen i SverigeTayefeh, Sam, Niklasson, Anton January 2024 (has links)
Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained tremendous popularity in recent years, influencing the majority of industry sectors worldwide with its automation, generative, and analytical abilities. However, the real estate industry has been slow to adapt compared to others. This cautious approach is due to worries about costs, integrating new systems, and keeping data secure. As a result, real estate firms often take their time to adapt to these changes in a rapidly evolving market. This study investigates the challenges and opportunities for the use of AI in Sweden’s real estate market. It is a qualitative research based on existing literature and interviews with representatives from 11 well-known Swedish companies connected to the real estate industry in different ways. The collected data provides an overview of the present level of AI application, outlining both the challenges that the industry faces and the opportunity for technological adaptation. The study dives deeper into these integration problems, highlighting important roadblocks such as cultural skepticism, reluctance to change, and worries about data protection. These issues highlight the complexity of incorporating new technologies into traditional real estate procedures, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach to technology adoption. Several strategic recommendations are made, including encouraging strategic collaborations, instituting strong data security measures, and undertaking ongoing training programs to improve workforce proficiency. These measures are intended to make AI integration more seamless and to fully realize its potential in the industry. Overall, the thesis argues that AI can improve the operational efficiency of Sweden’s real estate market. However, attaining its full potential necessitates overcoming the hurdles by strategic interventions and cultural changes. / Artificiell intelligens (AI) har blivit mycket populärt de senaste åren och påverkar de flesta branscher globalt med sina automatiserings-, generativa och analytiska förmågor. Fastighetsbranschen har dock varit långsam med att anpassa sig jämfört med andra. Denna försiktiga inställning beror på oro för kostnader, integrering av nya system och datasäkerhet. Som ett resultat tar fastighetsföretag ofta lång tid på sig att anpassa sig till dessa förändringar i en snabbt föränderlig marknad. Denna studie undersöker utmaningarna och möjligheterna för användning av AI på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden. Studien är en kvalitativ forskning baserad på befintlig litteratur och intervjuer med representanter från elva välkända svenska företag kopplade till fastighetsbranschen på olika sätt. Den data som samlats in ger en översikt över den nuvarande nivån av AI-tillämpning och beskriver både de utmaningar som branschen står inför och de möjligheter som finns för teknologisk anpassning. Studien fördjupar sig i dessa integrationsproblem och lyfter fram hinder som kulturell skepsis, mot-vilja mot förändring och oro över dataskydd. Dessa hinder belyser komplexiteten i att införliva ny teknik i traditionella fastighetsprocesser, vilket betonar behovet av ett nyanserat förhållningssätt till teknikanvändning. Flera strategiska rekommendationer ges, inklusive att uppmuntra strategiska samarbeten, införa starka dataskyddsåtgärder och genomföra pågående utbildningsprogram för att förbättra arbetskraftens kompetens. Dessa åtgärder syftar till att göra AI-integration mer smidig och att fullt ut realisera dess potential i branschen. Sammanfattningsvis landar studien i att AI kan förbättra den operativa effektiviteten på Sveriges fastighetsmarknad. Att uppnå dess fulla potential kräver dock att man övervinner de nämnda hindren genom strategiska insatser och kulturella förändringar.
