Two-player Alternate Uses Test: A Controlled Testbed for Interactive Human-AI and Human-Human Co-Creation
Jul 9, 2026arXiv Human-Computer Interaction
Event Summary
arXiv:2607.07522v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Controlled research on AI ideation typically compares independent agents, while field studies of human-AI collaboration sacrifice experimental control. We introduce a controlled, two-player extension of the Alternate Uses Test (AUT) that enables compar
