Comparing direct negotiation with user-specified and AI-supplemented proxy agents that negotiate on behalf of a leader and a member, to see whether AI-mediated reasons rebalance power asymmetry, and what they cost the person who sends them.
How multiple LLM agents establish and exercise social influence in groups, seen through Moscovici's Social Conversion Theory: can a consistent minority voice shift the majority?
LLM agents with AI-mediated communication that represent minority perspectives to stimulate critical thinking in power-imbalanced group decision-making.
A journaling tool where writers select a passage and receive LLM-generated interpretive feedback (dot-connecting to past experiences, perspective-expanding) to support meaning-making, then rewrite it in their own words.
Defining Group Experience (GX) as a new paradigm for group-centered AI: treating user experience as collective and emergent rather than a sum of individual interactions.
Design space of a real-time feedback system using a single RGB camera to support synchronization in group dance practice.
Automatically translating hand gestures into emojis to enrich non-verbal communication in remote group video meetings.
A music player object that randomly plays the songs you listened to most in a given month, controlled by mid-air hand gestures.
