  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an integral part of our daily technology use
and will likely be a critical component of emerging technologies. However,
negative user preconceptions may hinder adoption of AI-based decision making.
Prior work has highlighted the potential of factors such as transparency and
explainability in improving user perceptions of AI. We further contribute to
work on improving user perceptions of AI by demonstrating that bringing the
user in the loop through mock model training can improve their perceptions of
an AI agent's capability and their comfort with the possibility of using
technology employing the AI agent.
