Embodiment, AI - IDFA Report-1
Exploring the intersection of embodiment, immersive media, and artificial intelligence in documentary storytelling, highlighting audience experiences, challenges, and the evolving strategies used by creators to convey complex realities.

At IDFA DocLab in November 2023, MIT researchers explored how the
different forms of possible embodiment were being used by artists, and how
they had impact on audience experience and understanding. We wanted to
understand what strategies and tools artists are using, how these projects
are being received by audiences, and whether the knowledge communicated
or experience delivered is distinct from that shared by more traditional forms
of flat screen media.
Travel behavior is not merely objective or rational in the economic sense (Groeger 2002). There are aspects of vehicle design and the larger transportation system that cause or exacerbate human emotions, biases, social stereotypes, and willingness to behave interpersonally in ways particular to the roadway (Abrahamse et al. 2009; Coogan et al. 2014...

We're interacting increasingly with technology over time, and I think things like how much time we spend staring at screens, our phones and social media is impacting our mental health. So maybe, by having machines that have... See more
Ghost in the machine: The race toward conscious, sentient AI
Many of the predictions that structure human experience concern our own internal physiological states. For example, we experience thirst and hunger in ways that are deeply anticipatory, allowing us to remedy looming shortfalls in advance, so as to stay within the correct zone for bodily integrity and survival. This means that we exist in a world... See more
What Generative AI Reveals About the Human Mind
“You've heard of people calling in sick. You may have called in sick a few times yourself. But have you ever thought about calling in well?
It'd go like this: You'd get the boss on the line and say, "Listen, I've been sick ever since I started working here, but today I'm well and I won't be in anymore." Call in well.”

The hippocampus has been a focus in the study of recombination during simulation – perhaps unsurprising given the established role of this structure in relational processing, including the binding together of disparate elements during working memory as well as episodic encoding and retrieval (Axmacher et al., 2010; Eichenbaum, 2001; Hannula &...
