7 Which positive effects are expected from the AI-functions
8
9 - to the performance of the actors who work with the AI (e.g., accuracy, speed, ...)?
10
11 - to the state of them (e.g., stress, understanding, trust, ...)?
12
13 Answer:
14
15
16 - **Memory accuracy.**  The patient with memory-loss dimentia, being at the care center tends to partly or completely lose memories on his relatives and friends. AI would help collecting data on relatives, which would allow to refresh memory and increase its accuracy.
17
18 - **Social connection. ** During the moments, when patient is at the care center without realtives, AI would increase feeling of social connection, by reminding about relatives.
19
20 - **Better relative attitude. **Some realtives might have felt irritated or sad, that person with dimensia has forgot his name or some important information about him. As also, relatives might find unnecessary to share some information with the patient, as he would anyway forget it. AI would remove this negative bias, and bring more importance to conversations with the patient.
21
22 - **Quality of conversations.**  In cases where patient has severe memorry losses, often, conversations would repeat on the same topics. AI would help patient keeping conversation on thigher level, allowing to remeber previous conversations.
23
24 - **Reduce emotional stress. ** Some people with memory-loss might feel sad and stressed about forgeting his relatives. AI would solve the problem, allowing patient to renew the information and reduce stress.

31 Do you foresee potential negative effects of the AI-functions:
32
33 - on the performance, state and/or values of the actors?
34
35 - on more general ethical or societal aspects?
36
37 What are they?
38
39 Answer:
40
41 - **Lack of privacy.** As patient with memory loss would fill in information on his realtives to the AI, other people would also be able to access that information. Since relatives are able to oversee and edit the information on themselves, they would essentially enter the privacy of the patient, reading his notes.
42
43 - **Irritation. **Patient might feel irritated, in case AI reminds him something he still remembers. 
44
45 - **Misinformation. **In case patient doesn't see some relative for a while, patient might start editing the bio of the relative, enterigng some of his misconceptions in. That might lead to confusion and irritation of the relative once he realises that patient had misconceptions about him.

52 What is the impact of the AI functions on the overall use case?
53
54 What does it add to the use case/how does it improve the use case as a whole?
55
56 Answer:
57
58 Overall, main\ function of AI would be to support memory of the patient with memory loss and help him organize memories about his relatives. The main impacts of it would be: better relations between patient and relatives, reduce the feeling of loneliness while relatives are not at the care center, increase probability of patient to remember on his own. It would improve the use case by making interactions with the patient closer to interactions with healthy people.
