What is the purpose of the project?
This project is being conducted by Alex Gidman, ag983@york.ac.uk and Michael O'Dea, michael.odea@york.ac.uk The aim of this project is to understand to what extent can conversational A.I. systems designed to interpret complex rule-based frameworks be trusted by users to make authoritative decisions in decision-critical environments.

How will you use my data?
We will collect responses to questions about the outputs of a novel A.I. application intended to deliver game rulings and judgements for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The data collected from you will be anonymised, analysed and used to produce reports. Anonymised data may be reused by the research team or other third parties for secondary research purposes.  
What will I be asked to do?
We are recruiting participants for the study. Participating would involve taking part in an anonymous survey, answering questions about the outputs of a novel A.I. application intended to deliver game rulings and judgements for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The aim is to learn more about techniques available to improve trust of conversational A.I. for decision making. We expect that participating will take approximately 10 minutes.
