Dr Christian GuckelsbergerVisiting Academic

Christian Guckelsberger is a Computer Scientist, Art Historian and Assistant Professor in Creative Technologies at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland. He leads the Autotelic Interaction Research (AIR) group, which seeks to understand, model and support different forms of self-directed behaviour in AI, in people, and in their interaction. His research agenda is twofold, (i) seeking to engineer artificial systems that are creative in their own right and in interaction with people, and (ii) investigating how creative AI is perceived by its users to guide sustainable AI adoption and research. Christian pursues these complementary goals through interdisciplinary, theoretical, and empirical work in various creative domains such as videogames, fine art, and design, bridging between AI, HCI, Psychology and Philosophy.
