New concept 'knowledge affordance' aims to guide human-AI information seeking

This paper introduces the concept of knowledge affordance (KA) to help agents identify opportunities for information seeking in hybrid human-AI environments. KAs are described as declarative, semantically grounded descriptions of what a knowledge source can offer, for what types of questions, and under which contextual properties. The authors propose that KAs are relational and emerge from the interaction between an agent's task, preferences, and situational factors, aiming to foster greater transparency and adaptability in information navigation.
