About

Jannik Wiese is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, specializing in the evolution of smart assistants from passive responders to proactive, context-aware agents. His work critically examines how domestic robots and intelligent systems can initiate interactions with users in a seamless, socially appropriate manner—a shift that promises to redefine our relationship with technology at home. Wiese’s most cited paper, "Investigating Opportunities for Active Smart Assistants to Initiate Interactions With Users" (2023), lays the groundwork for this paradigm, envisioning assistants that weave themselves into the user’s context rather than waiting for commands. Though early in his career, his contributions are already shaping the discourse on proactive AI, with his work garnering attention for its practical implications in robotics and ubiquitous computing. By challenging the passive model of voice assistants like Alexa, Wiese is helping to chart a future where technology anticipates needs, fostering more natural and intuitive human-machine collaboration. His research is essential reading for anyone interested in the next generation of intelligent, socially aware systems.
