GenAI for Digital Personality Modelling

Humans and animals have emotions linked to an individual’s personality traits, which becomes obvious when looking into the pet and pet-owner interactions. With the advancement of Generative AI, research suggests that it is possible to replicate individuals’ behaviors digitally so that avatars can engage in game-plays and platforms like digital twins and metaverse, for entertainments and even for providing comforts in a healthcare, assisted living or rehabilitation setting. Chatbots, as digital assistants, have been widely used for similar purposes. However, insufficient effort has been deployed in the human-pet interaction scenarios. This proposal aims to address this research gap by exploring the capabilities of current Large Language Models (LLMs) and applying Generative AI techniques for Digital Personality Modelling.
