• Title: Synocene, Beyond the Anthropocene: De-Anthropocentralising Human-Nature-AI Interaction
• Authors: Isabelle Hupont and Marina Wainer and Sam Nester and Sylvie Tissot and Luc\'ia Iglesias-Blanco and Sandra Baldassarri
• Abstract summary: This case study presents a pioneering exploration into the AI attitudes (ecocentric, anthropocentric and antipathetic) toward nature. We conducted a real-life experiment in which participants underwent an immersive de-anthropocentric experience in a forest. By creating fictional AI characters with ecocentric attributes, emotions and views, we successfully amplified ecocentric exchanges.

• Abstract: Recent publications explore AI biases in detecting objects and people in the environment. However, there is no research tackling how AI examines nature. This case study presents a pioneering exploration into the AI attitudes (ecocentric, anthropocentric and antipathetic) toward nature. Experiments with a Large Language Model (LLM) and an image captioning algorithm demonstrate the presence of anthropocentric biases in AI. Moreover, to delve deeper into these biases and Human-Nature-AI interaction, we conducted a real-life experiment in which participants underwent an immersive de-anthropocentric experience in a forest and subsequently engaged with ChatGPT to co-create narratives. By creating fictional AI chatbot characters with ecocentric attributes, emotions and views, we successfully amplified ecocentric exchanges. We encountered some difficulties, mainly that participants deviated from narrative co-creation to short dialogues and questions and answers, possibly due to the novelty of interacting with LLMs. To solve this problem, we recommend providing preliminary guidelines on interacting with LLMs and allowing participants to get familiar with the technology. We plan to repeat this experiment in various countries and forests to expand our corpus of ecocentric materials.

  AI systems need to be explainable to the humans in the loop. We will discuss how the AI agent can use mental models to either conform to human expectations, or change those expectations through explanatory communication. While the main focus of the book is on cooperative scenarios, we will point out how the same mental models can be used for obfuscation and deception.
