MORE USER TESTING

As mentioned, I conducted another user testing to get more feedbacks with the exam paper and this time, I conducted a sharing session to review the answers. Through the user testing, I found out that the idea of people taking information images at surface seems to be evident and the participants often make guessings when they couldn't decide on the answer. It was also commented by most of them that it was insightful for them on the ways to identify generated images.

Another noteworthy observation was that how a participant commented that " If it weren't for a exam paper, I would not have spend more time to try identify or question the images unless they appear too unnatural." Building on that, it reemphasizes the lack of skepticism in percieving information.

With the observations, I decided to design the toolkit that offers tips on how to identify generated content as I realised that the exam paper doesn't provide any takeaways if there wasn't a review session, hence building on to that helps to bridge the missing gap.


AIDENTIFY KIT

The initial idea was an ever-changing tool kit where people are able to contribute on a weekly basis on a website for the tool kit to educate people on the steps to overcome the saturation of AI content. The validity of this tool kit is limited to weekly basis due to the advancement to the AI technology. Just like any other exam papers, there’s always a ten-year series or validity to these paper. The tool kit will then come with sets of questions to incudes idenitfying of generated images, videos and other ways to look or decipher these AI contents.

At first, I was referring to the COVID-19 testing kit, as I wanted the audience to have a sense of familiarity when they see the tool kit. I was thinking of how the tool kit can be a gauge for people to counter-check informations/content that they come across in the near future. This was to target the issue that stem from the lack of skepticism to the information people percieve.

The design of the tool kit still remains uncertain as I thinking of how it can be appreciated as a speculated artefact rather than just a "plain" design. The questions that were included in the tool kit was something of concern as well due to the uncetainty to how relevant those questions will be in near future as AI-tools advance progressively. Furthermore. I need to explain the use of the toolkit in a given situation that we will be required to use.


DISCUSSION & FEEDBACK

The dicussion this time mainly focused on the dissertation where there are missing gaps to the research where how the experiments and the things I'm doing up so far leverages on the technological and computation techniques. The remaining artefacts pertaining to the identification of generated content remains unexplored as well which still requires more ideation.
