Abstract

With the advent of the digital age, young students commonly use technological tools such as LINE and Instagram for emotional communication and interaction. However, this trend has led to the gradual decline in the abilities of emotional communication and expression among younger generation students. Therefore, enhancing these skills in young students through games is a worthwhile skill to develop. This study aimed to improve the emotional communication and expression abilities of young students through game design, and explored how Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in current multiple studies can innovate learning environments and teaching methods, investigating whether games designed using artificial intelligence AI could effectively strengthen the players’ emotional resonance, thereby enhancing emotional recognition, empathy, and improving interpersonal communication. To explore this issue, we utilized the ChatGPT-4 (GPT-4) large language model to learn to recognize and categorize different emotional expressions and developed game mechanics through AI. The researchers implemented the game concepts generated by AI, actualized them, and made them available for use by young student players. Simultaneously, the researchers observed the players’ emotional communication and expression abilities after interacting with the emotional images and narratives created by AI, in order to assess the feasibility of the game. The study results confirmed that the players felt curiosity and emotional resonance with the emotional games generated by GPT-4. Through participating in the game, the players enhanced their understanding of emotions and promoted emotional expression. This research further provided valuable insights for the development of AI-based emotional games, with the potential for a positive impact in the fields of education and mental health.
