In line with conversation-analytic research, we view the participatory role of AI as dynamically unfolding in a situation rather than being predetermined by its architecture. To study user sensemaking of intransparent AI systems, we set up a naturalistic encounter between human participants and two AI systems developed in-house: a reinforcement learning simulation and a GPT-4-based explainer chatbot. Our results reveal that an explainer-AI only truly functions as such when participants actively engage with it as a co-constructive agent. Both the interface’s spatial configuration and the asynchronous temporal nature of the explainer AI – combined with the users’ presuppositions about its role – contribute to the decision whether to treat the AI as a dialogical co-participant in the interaction. Participants establish evidentiality conventions and sensemaking procedures that may diverge from a system’s intended design or function.","lang":"eng"}],"issue":"6","_id":"56190","doi":"10.1177/17504813241267069","date_created":"2024-09-20T09:21:14Z","volume":18,"publisher":"Sage","publication":"Discourse & Communication","ddc":["300"],"department":[{"_id":"660"}],"project":[{"name":"TRR 318 - Ö: TRR 318 - Project Area Ö","_id":"119"}],"citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Klowait_Erofeeva_Lenke_Horwath_Buschmeier_2024, title={Can AI explain AI?
