• Title: AI Cat Narrator: Designing an AI Tool for Exploring the Shared World and Social Connection with a Cat
• Authors: Zhenchi Lai, Janet Yi-Ching Huang, Rung-Huei Liang,
• Abstract summary: Our research introduces a new tool called the AI Cat Narrator, which offers a unique perspective on the shared lives of humans and cats. We combined the method of ethnography with fictional storytelling, using a defamiliarization strategy to merge real-world data seen through the eyes of cats with excerpts from cat literature. Our findings indicate that using defamiliarized data for training purposes significantly contributes to the development of characters that are both more empathetic and individualized.

• Abstract: As technology continues to advance, the interaction between humans and cats is becoming more diverse. Our research introduces a new tool called the AI Cat Narrator, which offers a unique perspective on the shared lives of humans and cats. We combined the method of ethnography with fictional storytelling, using a defamiliarization strategy to merge real-world data seen through the eyes of cats with excerpts from cat literature. This combination serves as the foundation for a database to instruct the AI Cat Narrator in crafting alternative narrative. Our findings indicate that using defamiliarized data for training purposes significantly contributes to the development of characters that are both more empathetic and individualized. The contributions of our study are twofold: 1) proposing an innovative approach to prompting a reevaluation of living alongside cats; 2) establishing a collaborative, exploratory tool developed by humans, cats, and AI together.

  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.

  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.

  Recent research has explored the potential for artificial intelligence to support and augment humans in data storytelling. There lacks a systematic review to understand data storytelling tools from the perspective of human-AI collaboration. This paper investigated existing tools with a framework from two perspectives: the stages in the storytelling workflow where a tool serves, including analysis, planning, implementation, and communication, and the roles of humans and AI.
