Abstract
The inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) in people's daily activities, professional work, or private life confronts human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers with new questions, such as the consequences on basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and users' well-being. Especially, ensuring and fostering eudaimonic well-being (EWB) which demands authentic and meaningful activities remains a challenge in human-centered artificial intelligence (HCAI) research, because of the increasing transfer of task accomplishment and decision-making to AI. Thus in this paper, we present our findings from an online survey with a total of 301 participants reporting their purpose of using AI technology and letting them rate their experiences with several scales focusing on aspects such as perceptions of eudaimonic experience, autonomy, competence, motivation of use, and facets on user engagement (focused attention, usability, aesthetic appeal, reward). The participants were clustered with the help of a validated psychological scale into three possible well-being orientations: eudaimonia, hedonia, and extrinsic goals. There are several findings: Firstly, the results show that the perception of eudaimonic experience, focused attention as well as motivation to use AI significantly differs regarding the well-being orientation, and secondly across all well-being orientations we found contradictive perceptions of autonomy and competence across interaction levels that open up the necessity of further research on the impact of AI on autonomy and competence perceptions.
