@techreport{oai:ipsj.ixsq.nii.ac.jp:00211855, author = {Akira, Kimura and Akira, Kimura}, issue = {10}, month = {Jul}, note = {To clarify the effect on the change of expectation of AI through a series of experiments in which visually impaired people observe and comment on the emotions given to the synthetic voice. Subjects: A group of visually impaired people who belong to the Gunma Prefecture Association for the Visually Impaired and who are able to travel to public facilities. Methodology Research design: Cross-sectional survey and single-group experiment Participants were recruited by inviting members of the association to participate in a lecture meeting on the use of AI. expectations of practical use before and after listening to AI-enhanced synthetic voice (AI Inc.) were measured as outcomes. In the meantime, price changes were shown using a refrigerator as an example, and the effects of economic factors on the change in expectation were compared and analyzed. Results Twenty-two participants, ranging in age from 27 to 80 years, were blind and lived in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. 12 (54%, 95% CI: 33%-75%, ns) responded yes to the expectations of AI, both before the intervention and with the ability to express emotions in a synthetic voice. 16 (72%, 95% CI: 54%-91%, p<0.001) responded no to the expectations after the AI experience. 54%-91%, p<.05), indicating a significant effect. Expectancy due to economic factors was 20 (90.9%, 95% CI: 78%-100%, p<.05). Conclusion: The observation experiment of emotions attached to synthetic speech in the visually impaired showed that the expectation of AI is positive after examining the data of actual experience of emotional expression and economic estimation. These experiential opportunities are useful as a communication method for maintaining expectations., To clarify the effect on the change of expectation of AI through a series of experiments in which visually impaired people observe and comment on the emotions given to the synthetic voice.
