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.

    Knowledge Affordances for Hybrid Human-AI Information Seeking

    arXiv:2604.27539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As information ecosystems grow more heterogeneous, both humans and artificial agents increasingly face a simple yet unresolved question: when seeking knowledge, whom should we ask, and why? Inspired by how people intuitively "read…
