About
Keita Kiuchi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, psychology, and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on conversational agents, social assistive robots, and mental health technology. His work explores how embodied conversational agents, chatbots, and socially assistive robots can be designed and deployed to support human wellbeing across generations. Kiuchi's most influential contribution — a systematic meta-review synthesizing findings from 315 carefully selected studies out of 1,830 academic articles — has already garnered 37 citations since 2023, establishing him as a key synthesizer of psychological insights in the rapidly evolving field of conversational AI. This foundational work provides the research community with a rigorous framework for understanding how people psychologically engage with these technologies. Building on this foundation, Kiuchi has pursued a distinctive line of inquiry into age-inclusive counseling robotics. His studies employing Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and the Miracle Question method examine how older adults and younger generations differently experience interactions with active listening counseling robots, using sophisticated text mining techniques to track emotional expression over time. This research holds meaningful promise for accessible, scalable mental health support — an increasingly urgent global challenge.
