• Title: Self-Explanation in Social AI Agents
• Authors: Rhea Basappa, Mustafa Tekman, Hong Lu, Benjamin Faught, Sandeep Kakar, Ashok K. Goel,
• Abstract summary: We present a method of self-explanation that uses introspection over a self-model of an AI social assistant. The self-model is captured as a functional model that specifies how the methods of the agent use knowledge to achieve its tasks. We evaluate the self-explanation of the AI social assistant for completeness and correctness.

• Abstract: Social AI agents interact with members of a community, thereby changing the behavior of the community. For example, in online learning, an AI social assistant may connect learners and thereby enhance social interaction. These social AI assistants too need to explain themselves in order to enhance transparency and trust with the learners. We present a method of self-explanation that uses introspection over a self-model of an AI social assistant. The self-model is captured as a functional model that specifies how the methods of the agent use knowledge to achieve its tasks. The process of generating self-explanations uses Chain of Thought to reflect on the self-model and ChatGPT to provide explanations about its functioning. We evaluate the self-explanation of the AI social assistant for completeness and correctness. We also report on its deployment in a live class.

  This study investigates the convergence of cognitive AI and generative AI for self-explanation in interactive AI agents such as VERA. From a cognitive AI viewpoint, we endow VERA with a functional model of its own design, knowledge, and reasoning represented in the Task--Method--Knowledge (TMK) language. From the perspective of generative AI, we use ChatGPT, LangChain, and Chain-of-Thought to answer user questions based on the VERA TMK model.

  "Can machines think?" and the Turing Test to assess whether machines could achieve human-level intelligence is one of the roots of AI. This paper challenge the idea of a "thinking machine" supported by current AIs since there is no sense of self in them. Current artificial intelligence is only seemingly intelligent information processing and does not truly understand or be subjectively aware of oneself.

  This work presents a cognitive agent that can learn procedures incrementally. We show the cognitive functions required in each substage and how adding new functions helps address tasks previously unsolved by the agent. Results show that this approach is capable of solving complex tasks incrementally.

  Social language used by human agents is associated with greater users' responsiveness and task completion. The model uses a sequence-to-sequence deep learning architecture, extended with a social language understanding element. Evaluation in terms of content preservation and social language level using both human judgment and automatic linguistic measures shows that the model can generate responses that enable agents to address users' issues in a more socially appropriate way.
