Abstract

This talk will delve into the opportunities and challenges of AI for problem-structuring that takes place in immersive virtual environments (IVEs). With the help of AI-powered technology, virtual reality (VR), is rapidly transforming how spaces for participatory problem structuring can be designed and experienced. For instance, AI is credited with making IVEs more realistic, interactive and adaptable, with 3D models that may aid in knowledge sharing and development. By allowing us to create immersive and interactive digital environments, participants are enabled to explore and refine their ideas in new and exciting ways. However, the use of virtual environments can alter the dynamics of interpersonal communication and collaboration. Moreover, while AI may enhance the usability of IVEs, questions remain about how interaction in IVEs generates specific impacts on knowledge production in such settings. In this talk, we will consider how problem structuring may evolve with the integration of AI-generated resources in and for interaction in IVEs while also considering some of the challenges involved relating to understanding, stakeholder engagement and decision support.
