Improving workplace productivity via an AI-based physical activity chatbot

该项目旨在开发、训练和评估使用人工智能和机器学习的体力活动聊天机器人，以提高久坐办公室员工的工作效率。由于大量不活跃的工人造成的生产力损失，澳大利亚经济每年损失140亿美元。有效和可扩展的工作场所体育活动计划的成本是实施这些计划的障碍。因此，需要能够以最低成本接触到大量工人的创新计划。该项目旨在产生关于使用人工智能实现行为改善的新知识，并将导致开发一种具有广泛适用性的新型行为改变计划。

This project aims to develop, train and evaluate a physical activity chatbot using artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve workplace productivity in sedentary office workers. Productivity losses, due to high numbers of physically inactive workers, cost the Australian economy $14 billion per year. The cost of effective and scalable workplace physical activity programs acts as a barrier to their implementation. As such, innovative programs that can reach large numbers of workers at minimal cost are needed. This project aims to generate new knowledge on the use of artificial intelligence to achieve behavioural improvements and will lead to the development of a new type of behaviour change program with broad applicability.
