Connecting Power and Play: Investigating Interactive Energy Harvesting in Battery-Free Gaming

Battery-free computer gaming offers a vision of sustainable interaction in which games run on hardware that does not require a battery, yet this approach introduces uncertainty due to frequent power failures. Rather than viewing these failures as limitations, this work examines how integrating energy harvesting with a…

The Bots of Persuasion: Examining How Conversational Agents' Linguistic Expressions of Personality Affect User Perceptions and Decisions

Large Language Model-powered conversational agents (CAs) are increasingly capable of projecting sophisticated personalities through language, but how these projections affect users is unclear. We thus examine how CA personalities expressed linguistically affect user decisions and perceptions in the context of charitab…

Towards Effective Human Intervention in Algorithmic Decision-Making: Understanding the Effect of Decision-Makers' Configuration on Decision-Subjects' Fairness Perceptions

Human intervention is claimed to safeguard decision-subjects' rights in algorithmic decision-making and contribute to their fairness perceptions. However, how decision subjects perceive hybrid decision-maker configurations (i.e., combining humans and algorithms) is unclear. We address this gap through a mixed-methods…

Persuasion in Pixels and Prose: The Effects of Emotional Language and Visuals in Agent Conversations on Decision-Making

The growing sophistication of Large Language Models allows conversational agents (CAs) to engage users in increasingly personalized and targeted conversations. While users may vary in their receptiveness to CA persuasion, stylistic elements and agent personalities can be adjusted on the fly. Combined with image genera…

Why does Automation Adoption in Organizations Remain a Fallacy?: Scrutinizing Practitioners' Imaginaries in an International Airport

In organizations, the interest in automation is long-standing. However, adopting automated processes remains challenging, even in environments that appear highly standardized and technically suitable for it. Through a case study in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, this paper investigates automation as a broader sociotechni…

Policy Sandboxing: Empathy as an Enabler Towards Inclusive Policy-Making

Digitally-supported participatory methods are often used in policy-making to develop inclusive policies by collecting and integrating citizen's opinions. However, these methods fail to capture the complexity and nuances in citizen's needs, i.e., citizens are generally unaware of other's needs, perspectives, and experi…

Situating Empathy in HCI/CSCW: A Scoping Review

Empathy is considered a crucial construct within HCI and CSCW, yet our understanding of this complex concept remains fragmented and lacks consensus in existing research. In this scoping review of 121 articles from the ACM Digital Library, we synthesize the diverse perspectives on empathy and scrutinize its current con…

Rethinking the Role of AI with Physicians in Oncology: Revealing Perspectives from Clinical and Research Workflows

Significant and rapid advancements in cancer research have been attributed to Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, AI's role and impact on the clinical side has been limited. This discrepancy manifests due to the overlooked, yet profound, differences in the clinical and research practices in oncology. Our contributi…

AI Beyond Deus ex Machina - Reimagining Intelligence in Future Cities with Urban Experts

The current mechanisms that drive the development of AI technologies are widely criticized for being tech-oriented and market-led instead of stemming from societal challenges. In Human-Centered AI discourses, and more broadly in Human-Computer Interaction research, initiatives have been proposed to engage experts from…

The Hide and Seek of Workspace: Towards Human-Centric Sustainable Architecture

This contribution exemplifies how the study of space perception and its impact on space-use behavior can inform sustainable architecture. We describe our attempt to integrate the methods of user research in an architectural project that was focused on optimization of space usage. In an office building, two large o…
