Minseo presented a poster at CHI `25

Minseo presented her Late-Breaking Work paper titled "Exploring the Potential of Generative AI for Supporting Middle-Aged Individuals in Retirement Transitions" at CHI 2025, Yokohama, Japan.

The work aims to uncover the potential of GenAI in this context by examining its current and anticipated roles through semi-structured interviews with 10 middle-aged individuals navigating retirement transitions. The findings highlight three key roles of GenAI as an identity navigator, self-actualization facilitator, and connection catalyst. Building on the findings, the study identifies novel design opportunities for GenAI-based systems that assist an integrated journey from self-discovery to self-actualization, and support both direct and indirect connection to the world. The research aims to inspire the HCI community to further investigate these new design possibilities and attract attention to the unique context of retirement transition.
