AI Simulation Gives People a Look of Their Potential Future Self
In a preliminary user study, the researchers discovered that after interacting with Future You for about half an hour, people reported reduced stress and anxiety and felt a stronger sense of connection with their future selves.
„We don’t have a genuine time machine yet, however AI can be a type of virtual time device. We can utilize this simulation to help people think more about the consequences of the choices they are making today,“ states Pat Pataranutaporn, a current Media Lab doctoral graduate who is actively establishing a program to advance human-AI interaction research at MIT, and co-lead author of a paper on Future You.
Pataranutaporn is signed up with on the paper by co-lead authors Kavin Winson, a scientist at KASIKORN Labs; and Peggy Yin, a Harvard University undergraduate; along with Auttasak Lapapirojn and Pichayoot Ouppaphan of KASIKORN Labs; and senior authors Monchai Lertsutthiwong, head of AI research at the KASIKORN Business-Technology Group; Pattie Maes, the Germeshausen Professor of Media, Arts, and Sciences and head of the Fluid Interfaces group at MIT, and Hal Hershfield, teacher of marketing, behavioral decision making, and psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles. The research will be provided at the IEEE Conference on Frontiers in Education.
A practical simulation
Studies about conceptualizing one’s future self go back to at least the 1960s. One early approach targeted at enhancing future self-continuity had people compose letters to their future selves. More recently, scientists used virtual truth goggles to assist individuals picture future versions of themselves.
But none of these techniques were very interactive, restricting the effect they could have on a user.
With the introduction of generative AI and large language models like ChatGPT, the scientists saw an opportunity to make a simulated future self that might go over somebody’s actual goals and aspirations throughout a regular discussion.
„The system makes the simulation extremely reasonable. Future You is a lot more in-depth than what a person might develop by simply picturing their future selves,“ states Maes.
Users begin by addressing a series of questions about their existing lives, things that are essential to them, and objectives for the future.
The AI system uses this details to produce what the researchers call „future self memories“ which offer a backstory the design pulls from when engaging with the user.
For circumstances, the chatbot might speak about the highlights of someone’s future career or response questions about how the user conquered a particular difficulty. This is possible due to the fact that ChatGPT has been trained on substantial data involving individuals discussing their lives, careers, and great and disappointments.
The user engages with the tool in two ways: through introspection, when they consider their life and objectives as they build their future selves, and revision, when they consider whether the simulation reflects who they see themselves becoming, says Yin.
„You can envision Future You as a story search area. You have a chance to hear how some of your experiences, which may still be mentally charged for you now, might be metabolized throughout time,“ she says.
To help individuals imagine their future selves, the system generates an age-progressed image of the user. The chatbot is also created to supply vibrant answers using expressions like „when I was your age,“ so the simulation feels more like a real future variation of the person.
The ability to listen from an older version of oneself, instead of a generic AI, can have a stronger favorable influence on a user pondering an uncertain future, Hershfield says.
„The interactive, vivid parts of the platform offer the user an anchor point and take something that might result in nervous rumination and make it more concrete and productive,“ he includes.
But that realism might backfire if the simulation relocates an unfavorable direction. To avoid this, they make sure Future You cautions users that it shows only one potential version of their future self, and they have the company to alter their lives. Providing alternate responses to the survey yields an absolutely various discussion.
„This is not a prophesy, but rather a possibility,“ Pataranutaporn states.
Aiding self-development
To assess Future You, they carried out a user study with 344 individuals. Some users engaged with the system for 10-30 minutes, while others either interacted with a generic chatbot or only filled out studies.
Participants who used Future You had the ability to construct a better relationship with their perfect future selves, based on a statistical analysis of their responses. These users also reported less anxiety about the future after their interactions. In addition, Future You users stated the conversation felt sincere which their worths and beliefs seemed constant in their simulated future identities.
„This work forges a new course by taking a well-established mental technique to imagine times to come – an avatar of the future self – with cutting edge AI. This is exactly the type of work academics ought to be focusing on as innovation to develop virtual self models combines with large language designs,“ says Jeremy Bailenson, the Thomas More Storke Professor of Communication at Stanford University, who was not included with this research.
Building off the outcomes of this initial user research study, the scientists continue to fine-tune the ways they establish context and prime users so they have conversations that assist develop a stronger sense of future self-continuity.
„We wish to direct the user to discuss particular subjects, instead of asking their future selves who the next president will be,“ Pataranutaporn says.
They are also adding safeguards to avoid people from misusing the system. For circumstances, one could picture a business producing a „future you“ of a prospective consumer who attains some great outcome in life because they bought a specific item.
Progressing, the want to study particular applications of Future You, possibly by making it possible for individuals to check out various professions or imagine how their everyday choices could impact environment modification.
They are likewise collecting data from the Future You pilot to better understand how individuals utilize the system.
„We don’t want individuals to become based on this tool. Rather, we hope it is a meaningful experience that helps them see themselves and the world differently, and aids with self-development,“ Maes says.
