AI Characters – Friend or Foe?
In this episode I talk with Sonia Tiwari who has a unique expertise in the design and development of characters that enhance learning experiences.
Sonia Tiwari holds a PhD in Learning, Design, and Technology from Penn State University where she also was an Adjunct Professor of Learning Experience Design. She has been a children’s media research consultant for almost 9 years and has developed a framework for designing AI-powered characters as facilitators of learning experiences.
This year, Sonia was selected as one of 20 scientists from across the world to participate in Falling Walls Foundation's year-long 'Female Science Talents Intensive Track' program to support significant career breakthroughs. Her research explores the impact of AI character interactions on children's learning experiences.
