Minority Report in Research Communities – The future can be seen, member disengagement can be prevented
Steven Debaere (IÉSEG School of Management), Tom De Ruyck (InSites Consulting)
The future can be seen, crime can be prevented. The 2002 award-winning movie Minority Report described a world in 2054 in which crime can be predicted and prevented. In 2017, thanks to AI, behavioral predictions are already today’s reality. It can be used to tackle fundamental problems. Member disengagement, as identified by a member’s low participation quantity and low-quality contributions, represents a fundamental threat to build healthy long-term research communities. We introduce AI to research communities and demonstrate how AI helps the moderator to predict and prevent member disengagement early on. The future can be seen, member disengagement can be prevented.
