We are a research team from the University of Stirling (UK), Universidad de Alicante (Spain) and the University of Minho (Portugal) seeking to understand how people use digital technologies in gift-giving and receiving. This study explores how technology influences gift-giving and receiving practices and aims to understand how digital tools shape gifting experiences.
Anyone 18 years old or over with the capacity to consent and who has given or received a gift using artificial intelligence in any form (or tried to do so) is welcome in this research.
This is an academic study. It is not for profit, and we aim to develop insights about gift giving and the use of digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence.
Would you like to take part in this study? We would love to hear your stories! We would like to invite you to select the option that works best for you:
OPTION 1: interview (through Teams).
OPTION 2: writing a single story (complete an online form). You could submit as many stories as you want.
See more about these options below and choose the one that suits you better. Whichever option you choose, your views will be extremely important for us to understand gift-giving in a context different from the one we were used to.
THANK YOU!
Ines, Mila and Teresa
