However, many users feel insecure because they do not understand the AI’s functionality and do not feel they are in control of it. Combining technical, psychological and philosophical views on AI, we rethink smart homes as interactive systems where users can partake in an intelligent agent’s learning. Parallel to the goals of explainable AI (XAI), we explored the possibility of user involvement in supervised learning of the smart home to have a first approach to improve acceptance, support subjective understanding and increase perceived control. In this work, we conducted two studies: In an online pre-study, we asked participants about their attitude towards teaching AI via a questionnaire. In the main study, we performed a Wizard of Oz laboratory experiment with human participants, where participants spent time in a prototypical smart home and taught activity recognition to the intelligent agent through supervised learning based on the user’s behaviour. We found that involvement in the AI’s learning phase enhanced the users’ feeling of control, perceived understanding and perceived usefulness of AI in general. The participants reported positive attitudes towards training a smart home AI and found the process understandable and controllable. We suggest that involving the user in the learning phase could lead to better personalisation and increased understanding and control by users of intelligent agents for smart home automation.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1145/3527188.3561914","type":"conference","user_id":"11871","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","project":[{"_id":"121","name":"TRR 318 - B1: TRR 318 - Subproject B1","grant_number":"438445824"}],"keyword":["human-agent interaction","smart homes","supervised learning","participation"],"status":"public","file_date_updated":"2024-05-30T18:04:31Z","citation":{"chicago":"Sieger, Leonie Nora, Julia Hermann, Astrid Schomäcker, Stefan Heindorf, Christian Meske, Celine-Chiara Hey, and Ayşegül Doğangün. “User Involvement in Training Smart Home Agents.” In <i>International Conference on Human-Agent Interaction</i>.
