Researcher, Embedded Intelligence — DFKI
Hi. I'm Jakob Karolus.
I am a researcher at the Embedded Intelligence group at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). My work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence.
Topics I work on
I explore how AI can support learning without taking over the learning process. This includes designing tools that strengthen understanding, preserve learner agency and help educators make informed decisions, as well as examining how teaching and assessment should adapt when capable AI systems are readily available.

Summary
Studies moderated uses of ChatGPT designed to support learning and critical thinking. Hint-based assistance and multiple-answer formats were compared with unmoderated ChatGPT and internet search in a physics study. Moderated interactions reduced unreflected behaviors such as copy and paste, though they did not reach the reflective usage seen with search engines.
