Persuasiveness of Conversational Agents for Targeted Advertising: Autism and Gen-AI Chatbots

Marketing firms are starting to leverage Generative-AI-based chatbots as a more persuasive form of advertising. This is potentially more harmful for autistic young adults with substantial support needs who tend to have lower financial literacy, be more trusting of bad actors when communicating through social technolog…

Choose From a List: A User Study of Random Password Memorability

Even for users of password managers, primary passwords are a common root of trust; these must be secure against offline attacks. Randomly generated passwords provide strength guarantees but are less memorable. Cognitive psychology studies have found that providing a choice aids recall, however no studies have investig…

We conducted an ethnographically-informed study with 28 participants (9 autistic Young Adults or "YAs'" in need of substantial daily support, 6 parents, 13 support staff) to understand how autistic YAs self-regulate and receive mediation on social media. We found that autistic YAs relied on blanket boundary rules and…

Reactive or Proactive? How Robots Should Explain Failures

As robots tackle increasingly complex tasks, the need for explanations becomes essential for gaining trust and acceptance. Explainable robotic systems should not only elucidate failures when they occur but also predict and preemptively explain potential issues. This paper compares explanations from Reactive Systems, w…

Closing the Knowledge Gap in Designing Data Annotation Interfaces for AI-powered Disaster Management Analytic Systems

Data annotation interfaces predominantly leverage ground truth labels to guide annotators toward accurate responses. With the growing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in domain-specific professional tasks, it has become increasingly important to help beginning annotators identify how their early-stage knowledg…
