Sense of Self-Agency in Sharing Conversational Experiences between Agents and Human Users

This paper explores the notion of self-agency in developing agent-based systems that support human-to-human communication. We first point out that a challenge in developing such agent-based systems is to successfully transfer conversational experiences that agents gain to their users. We then propose that the sense of self-agency is a key to address this challenge. We also show an experimental system to examine the impact of the sense of self-agency on the successful transfer of conversational experiences from agents to their users.
