Abstract:

The research project 'Algorithmic Gift-Giving: Integrating Biomedical Feedback into the Santa Claus Paradigm'  focuses on the AI-driven advancement of Santa Claus through the integration of biomedical electronics in order to sustainably enhance decision-making, perceptual, and physiological performance. In addition to data-driven evaluation and distribution models, particular emphasis is placed on the instrumental assessment of physiological states that have traditionally been considered implicitly through experience, intuition, or seasonal routines.

The project employs biosignal-based sensor systems for the continuous monitoring of stress indicators, fatigue levels, and emotional responses during critical operational phases. These signals are integrated in real time into adaptive AI models that contextually modulate both the “naughty-or-nice” classification and logistical decision-making. By addressing the interface between biomedical electronics and algorithmic governance, the research examines to what extent even a mythologically elevated figure may benefit from evidence-based self-monitoring.

The project ultimately frames efficiency, resilience, and measurability not as opposites of magic, but as its contemporary implementation. /i
