<div style="margin: 0px;"><b>Background:</b><br>
<br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">In recent years, the explosive rate at
which artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being
introduced and adopted in personal and professional contexts
has far outpaced research investigating their psychological
implications for users. On the one hand, AI-enabled
applications are being marketed as enhancements to human
cognition and as positive contributors to productivity and
efficiency. On the other hand, researchers have raised
concerns against indiscriminate adoption of AI technologies,
and have argued that, in order for AI to make a positive
contribution to the human condition, it is crucial that AI
development be aligned with human values.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><br>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<p
style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">One of the core challenges is to design AI-based applications to prevent harm, and foster human psychological well-being (PWB), which has two main conceptualizations. The hedonic view considers the presence of positive affect and absence of negative affect (i.e. positive user experience) as a sign of PWB; the eudaimonic view focuses on those motivations, dispositions and activities which lead to flourishing or functioning well, and whose presence can be evaluated by the extent to which one senses meaning, growth, positive relationships, excellence and autonomy in various spheres of one's life. This perspective is endorsed by theories such as Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Furthermore, researchers also argue that eudaimonic well-being also relies on an ethical core -- for to live well, we need to develop those virtues which help us choose well between a range of competing goals and desires, and guide our behavior in everyday situations.</p>
<style type="text/css">p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }</style></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">As developments in AI increasingly
allow us to integrate them in various professional and
personal activities, the nature and scope of this integration
could potentially transform what we value, along with our
attitudes and experiences in, these activities. Consequently,
this may also affect the extent to which we can attain the
aforementioned constituents of PWB. Either way, whether
AI-based technologies are designed, evaluated, and deployed
with a view of PWB in mind will have profound cognitive and
affective consequences on users.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">The aim of this book volume is to
gather multidisciplinary perspectives on harnessing the
potential of AI to enhance PWB. We invite researchers from
different disciplines (information systems, computer science,
social sciences and philosophy) to contribute to the current
state of research on designing and evaluating the algorithmic
and interactive aspects of AI with the aim of enhancing PWB.
The multiple perspectives captured in this book will be useful
for designers, researchers, and practitioners. </div>
