Fancy working with me as part of the Autotelic Interaction Research (AIR) group @AaltoUniversity? Call for phd/postdoc/research fellow positions with the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI) @FCAI_fi now open! Check autotelic.science for fit to our group.

Want to do a PhD on emotions in videogames with @tommakesgames, the very pioneer of this line of research? Check out the ad! Plus: Tom's a fabulous person.

Very excited to have a doctoral researcher from Japan visit our group to work on creativity and minimal cognition, supported by @HIIT and the Aalto Science Institute. Where from exactly? Experts can tell by the picture!

GDMC AI Settlement generation challenge will be back for 2024 - so if you think you can do better, it is time to get started. See you all in 2024. We organizers, @rocanaan @Bumblebor @jibeherve @creativeEndvs @togelius @ChristophSalge, are looking forward to your submissions.

Full, 1-week conference schedule + keynotes + panels now online! computationalcreativity.net/iccc23/confere… We're looking forward to 1 day of workshops & tutorials + 3 days of packed conference + social programme, incl. book releases and a doctoral consortium! Some highlights below! 1/4

A new open AI model that can answer questions about images and video. With some extra data and finetuning, this might have huge potential for game development, e.g., for automated playtesting, heuristic evaluation, and cognitive walkthroughs of game UIs.

@themadpeacock Thanks :) Repeated (longitudinal) studies are in the planning, as discussed in the paper. Increasing the sample size substantially will depend on our choice of qualitative / quantitative methods, or a mixed-methods design. Quant. studies on specific effects are surely an option!

@creativeEndvs @creativeEndvs Fascinating paper, the best read of the week, thanks! Any plans to redo with a larger sample?

We put forward the first study on professionals' use of text-to-image generation #ttig in a specific industry: #videogames! Accepted w minor revisions / amongst top of submissions at CHI Play 23! Revised paper: arxiv.org/abs/2302.12601 Short talk: youtube.com/live/vN7ik7LbS… 1/10

Research conducted @CSAalto @AaltoARTS @AaltoUniversity with Veera Vimpari & game industry experts Perttu Hämäläinen @perttu_h and Annakaisa Kultima @aakoo. Further supported by @HIIT. Massive thanks to our fabulous participants! #creativeAI 10/10

We contribute the focus on a single industry to a small but excellent body of existing studies on the use of #tttig across different creative domains (dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…), and professionals' attitudes toward #creativeAI more generally (dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…). 9/10
