Congratulations to (now Dr.) Lara Riefle for a successful defense of her Ph.D. thesis "Adoption and Use of AI-based Systems: The Impact of Individual Character Traits” at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

While we are used that products are or can be tailored to individual users (e.g. clothing), AI-based systems still mostly offer a "one-size-fits-all” design. Both initial adoption and continued (re-)use of AI-based services may be enhanced, though, by "tailoring" them to individual character traits of users. Lara has done groundwork in this area, advanced our understanding of behavioral impacts, and demonstrated the capabilities of such approaches in a variety of experiments.
