Researcher
Dr. Jakob Kaiser
Dr. Jakob Kaiser is a researcher at the Artificial Intelligence Research Unit of the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions.
His work focuses on how psychological and technological factors influence consumer interactions with emerging technologies, such as AI and robotics. Dr. Kaiser investigates how these technologies can be designed to support consumers' decision-making, while addressing their emotional and psychological needs. With a background in Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience, he has conducted research in the UK, Germany, and Austria, exploring topics such as self-control, impulsive behavior, and the impact of emotions on decision making.
