Survey on New forms of visual communication of future scenarios in Delphi-based research - Sept. 8, 2024

[Mara Di Berardo]

Dear Lifeboat Foundation Advisory Boards, 

We would like to invite you to a survey on “New forms of visual communication of future scenarios to be used in Delphi-based research”.

Main aim of this survey is to evaluate different types of AI-generated visual communication of future scenarios. Three distinct and alternative modalities are hereby investigated: i) photos; ii) illustrations; iii) video. They were created from the original textual scenarios by using content generation tools based on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

You are receiving this invitation because of your expertise in Futures Studies and/or Artificial Intelligence. The questionnaire will ask you to compare alternative modalities of visual communication and to evaluate them on the basis of criteria such as consistency, plausibility, clarity, and simplicity.

The questionnaire lasts a few minutes and is available at the following link:

The deadline for submitting your contribution is September 8, 2024.
Your answer will be anonymous. You can receive the results of the study by leaving your e-mail when filling the first part of the form.

The study, coordinated by Prof. Mario Bolzan (University of Padua), is funded by IUSVE and developed in consultation with The Millennium Project and its Italy Node. The results of the survey will be used by IUSVE for scientific publications and further experiments and research.

This survey is part of the "Tomorrow in Family" project. The research was conducted 5 years ago to build future scenarios on the family in Northeastern Italy over a 10-year horizon. Please consider that this survey is focused on AI-generated visual communication, not on the contents of the scenarios.

For more information on the research project, please contact Prof. Mario Bolzan (Project Coordinator, mario....@unipd.it).
If you have problems accessing the questionnaire, please contact Manuela Scioni (Research team member, sci...@stat.unipd.it).

Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
