Reflecting Human Values in XAI: Emotional and Reflective Benefits in Creativity Support Tools

In this workshop paper, we discuss the potential for measures of user-centric benefits (such as emotional well-being) that could be explored when evaluating explainable AI (XAI) systems within the arts. As a background to this, we draw from our recent review of creativity support tool (CST) evaluations, that found a paucity of studies evaluating CSTs for user-centric measures that benefit the user themselves. Specifically, we discuss measures of: (1) developing intrinsic abilities, (2) emotional well-being, (3) self-reflection, and (4) self-perception. By discussing these user-centric measures within the context of XAI and the arts, we wish to provoke discussion regarding the potential of such measures.
