Record of interactions with Copilot for development of article for AI Agents4Qual 2026 and appendix outputs

These files provides a documented record of selected interactions and outputs provided between the human author and Microsoft Copilot during the development of a conference paper submitted to AI Agents4Qual. The document captures the iterative dialogue through which key methodological, conceptual, and procedural decisions were made, including delegation of analytic authority to an AI agent, refinement of the research question, scoping of the literature, construct clarification (e.g., “willingness”, “acceptance”, and “consumption”), and decisions around transparency, reproducibility, and reflexive reporting.The interactions illustrate how AI was used as an active research agent rather than a passive writing aid, and how the human author adopted a governance and reflexive oversight role. This record is provided to support methodological transparency, reflexive accountability, and reproducibility, and is referenced in the associated conference paper as supplementary material.The majority of this paper was developed through intensive interaction with an AI system on 16 January 2026, during which all framing, analysis, drafting, and transparency materials were produced. Formatting of the reference list and summary of the interactions occurred on the 28-30th January, 2026.It should be noted that the material here is predominantly AI generated as per the requirements of the associated conference.
