A visionary technologist, scientist, and designer, Pat explores the frontier of human-AI interaction, inventing and investigating AI systems that support human thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/12\/07\/2022\/70514\/\">KBTG Fellowship Model to Create Future Technologies for Thailand<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent PhD graduate from the Media Lab\u2019s\u00a0Fluid Interfaces group, Pat co-directs the\u00a0Advancing Humans with AI (AHA) Program. His research focuses on\u00a0how personalized AI systems can amplify human cognition\u2014from learning and decision-making to self-development, reflection, and wellbeing. He developed the &#8220;Cyborg Psychology&#8221; framework to understand how these systems shape our minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central to his work is designing novel human-AI interfaces that prioritize human agency. Examples include the \u201cWearable Reasoner,\u201d which prompts critical thinking during decisions; AI systems that use\u00a0Socratic questioning\u00a0to cultivate reasoning skills; and &#8220;Living Memories,&#8221; AI-generated virtual characters for personalized learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His acclaimed project,\u00a0Future You, enables interaction with simulations of one\u2019s future self, strengthening long-term thinking. The system is used in over 190 countries and was named one of\u00a0<em>Fast Company<\/em>\u2019s\u00a02025 World Changing Ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pat\u2019s work has appeared in&nbsp;<em>Nature Machine Intelligence<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Nature Biotechnology<\/em>, NEJM AI, ACM SIGCHI, SIGGRAPH, IEEE, and more. It has been featured by the UN AI for Good forum, TEDx Boston, The Aspen Institute,&nbsp;<em>The New York Times<\/em>, BBC,&nbsp;<em>The Atlantic<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Forbes<\/em>, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing &#8220;critical optimism&#8221; to his work, Pat was among the first to show how AI-generated characters can\u00a0genuinely enhance learning and wellbeing\u2014while also studying potential risks such as\u00a0AI addiction,\u00a0deceptive reasoning, and induced\u00a0false memories. His approach blends prototyping with randomized-controlled studies to advance ethical AI for personal and societal wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Pat-Pataranutaporn.jpg\" alt=\"Pat Pataranutaporn\" class=\"wp-image-157909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Pat-Pataranutaporn.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Pat-Pataranutaporn-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Pat-Pataranutaporn-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Pat-Pataranutaporn-696x398.jpg 696w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>My work is about imagining and prototyping the future of human potential with new technology\u2014where machines enhance our humanity rather than dehumanize us into machines.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My work is about imagining and prototyping the future of human potential with new technology\u2014where machines enhance our humanity rather than dehumanize us into machines,&#8221; said Dr. Pataranutaporn. \u201cGrowing up with Lego Mindstorms\u2014one of the Media Lab&#8217;s groundbreaking inventions\u2014the Lab has always been my inspiration. It has long championed humanity within our rapidly evolving technological landscape, making it the perfect home to pursue my research. It&#8217;s both an honor and privilege to join the faculty and help shape what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pat also explores AI through art. In collaboration with Kawita, his series\u00a0The Machine Ghost in the Human Shell\u00a0premiered at the Asia Pacific Triennial, examining AI\u2019s influence on identity and meaning. He also worked with Thai choreographer Pichet Klunchun to merge classical Thai dance with cybernetics through\u00a0virtual avatars, presented in the National Theater and Concert Hall of Taiwan in 2024 and at the 2025 Holland Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His projects have exhibited globally\u2014from the National Museum of 21st Century Art in Rome and the National Museum of Singapore to the London Design Festival, Bangkok Art Biennale, the MIT Museum, and Ars Electronica. He co-created Netflix\u2019s\u00a0<em>Tomorrow and I<\/em>, a groundbreaking sci-fi anthology which premiered globally in 2024. The series is the first to examine how technological forces reshape society across diverse cultures, drawing from Pat&#8217;s own Southeast Asian heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Pat is one of the most imaginative and visionary researchers and artists I have ever encountered,\u201d said Tod Machover, Media Lab Faculty Director.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>His work invites us to dream and to build\u2014at once speculative and scientific, personal and planetary.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He perfectly embodies the creative, collaborative, impossible-to-categorize culture of the Media Lab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/14\/03\/2022\/58529\/\">KBTG becomes a member of the MIT Media Lab<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pat has been awarded fellowships and grants by multiple research agencies and corporations, including NASA, OpenAI, KBTG, and others.
