How Can GenAI Foster Well-being in Self-regulated Learning?

The paper „How Can GenAI Foster Well-being in Self-regulated Learning?“ by Stefanie Hauske and Oliver Bendel is now available as part of the „Proceedings of the AAAI 2024 Spring Symposium Series“. Oliver Bendel presented the paper at the symposium „Impact of GenAI on Social and Individual Well-being“ in March 2024. From the abstract: „This paper explores how generative AI (GenAI) can improve the well-being of learners within self-regulated learning (SRL) frameworks in the corporate context. In the ‚GenAI to Support SRL‘ section, it presents three custom versions of ChatGPT aimed at assisting learners. These so-called GPTs demonstrate the GenAI’s potential to actively support learners in SRL and positively influence their well-being. The ‚Discussion‘ and ‚Summary and Outlook‘ sections provide a balanced overview of the opportunities and risks associated with GenAI in the field of learning and highlight directions for future research. The results indicate that GenAI could improve the well-being of learners in SRL through providing personalized guidance, reducing feelings of stress, and increasing motivation and self-efficacy. At the same time, there are several challenges for companies and employees that need to be overcome.“ It was Oliver Bendel’s ninth consecutive appearance at the AAAI Spring Symposia, which this time consisted of eight symposia on artificial intelligence.
