This $849,964 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will support the development of an innovative artificial intelligence-based approach to ethics training. The University of California Santa Cruz will create an educational game that uses AI techniques to generate realistic interactive ethical scenarios tailored to individual player choices. This adaptive interactive narrative game aims to improve learner engagement, knowledge acquisition, and moral reasoning skills compared to traditional static ethics training methods. It will apply self-determination theory to maximize motivation through four state-of-the-art AI narrative systems, including a novel dynamic content selection architecture. Iterative development and evaluation will advance understanding of leveraging AI to enhance educational narratives and ethics instruction outcomes. Results are expected to enable further innovations in learning technologies for responsible conduct of research training nationwide.
