AI AND DIGITAL GAMES FOR FOSTERING AND ASSESSING CREATIVITY - Janet Rafner
Dr. Janet Rafner addresses human-AI interaction for fostering and assessing creativity in game environments. She examines games that are casual creators which leverage generative models to allow the general public to playfully create interesting, complex images, while contributing to research and participating in public dialogues on important topics such as the sustainable development goals. Dr. Rafner is a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University, department of Linguistics, Cognitive Science and Semiotics and the Center for Hybrid Intelligence and affiliated with the Interacting Minds Center and the Center for Aesthetics of AI Images. She holds a Ph.D. in information communication technology and her current research focuses on citizen science, participatory futures, psychometric creativity assessment, computational co-creativity, and human-AI interaction. She is a Salzburg Global fellow and formerly a US Fulbright Fellow.
