Digital and embedded artificial intelligent (AI) agents with conversational capabilities have gained significant attention in recent years [1, 2]. Using natural language communication... Read More about Human AI conversational systems: when humans and machines start to chat.

Robots in Pain, Humans in Play: Soma as a Qualitative Method for Investigating Intelligent Human-Robot Configurations (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chamberlain, A., Ngo, V., McGarry, G., Kucukyilmaz, A., Benford, S., & Higgins, A. (2025, February). Robots in Pain, Humans in Play: Soma as a Qualitative Method for Investigating Intelligent Human-Robot Configurations. Presented at Designing for Bodies: Practices, Imaginaries and Discourses, University of Southern Denmark, Kolding

In this piece we start to explore the ways in which we somatise our interaction with robots as a symbiotic system - both as human and robot, and as human-robot. We also consider the ways that we might want to take our physical nature (existence), for...

Despite its successes, to date Artificial Intelligence (AI) is still characterized by a number of shortcomings with regards to different application domains and goals. These limitations are arguably both conceptual (e.g., related to the underlying th... Read More about A method for the ethical analysis of brain-inspired AI.

Two-Level Type Theory and Applications (2023)
Journal Article

We define and develop two-level type theory (2LTT), a version of Martin-Löf type theory which combines two different type theories. We refer to them as the ‘inner’ and the ‘outer’ type theory. In our case of interest, the inner theory is homotopy typ... Read More about Two-Level Type Theory and Applications.

Forced vital capacity trajectories in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a secondary analysis of a multicentre, prospective, observational cohort (2022)

Digital Health, 4(12), e862-e872. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2589-7500%2822%2900173-X

Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease with a variable clinical trajectory. Decline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the main indicator of progression, however missingness prevents long-term analysis o...

The Bot Usability Scale (BUS) is a standardised tool to assess and compare the satisfaction of users after interacting with chatbots to support the development of usable conversational systems. The English version of the 15-item BUS scale (BUS-15) wa... Read More about A confirmatory factorial analysis of the Chatbot Usability Scale: a multilanguage validation.

Ethical Concerns and Perceptions of Consumer Neurotechnology from Lived Experiences of Mental Workload Tracking (2022)
