This research project explores the interaction between artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) in biodiversity education. Through thorough testing and analysis, we aimed to understand the potential impact of adaptive AI integration in VR environments on emotional engagement, decision-making processes, and learning outcomes related to biodiversity loss. The Low-Fidelity (LoFi) testing phase provided us with a foundational understanding of participant responses to both AI-generated and real-world content across visual, auditory, and knowledge-based domains. Real-world images consistently triggered stronger emotional responses compared to AI-generated visuals, across various categories. Similarly, real audio consistently performed better emotionally compared to AI-generated audio, indicating a difference in the ability of AI to replicate the emotional impact of human-made experiences. Transitioning to the final testing phase, participants exposed to pre-made VR environments tended to outperform those in AI-integrated environments, primarily due to differences in audio quality. Detailed analyses of decision-making processes and plant species selection highlighted the subtle yet significant influence of environmental factors on participant perceptions and preferences within VR contexts. Based on these insights, several recommendations emerge to guide future research in this area. Efforts should focus on improving the realism of AI-generated content, especially in terms of visual and auditory fidelity. Furthermore, conducting larger-scale studies involving diverse participant demographics will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the educational impact of AI in VR environments.
