CHI '26Dark Patterns Recognition +1

A Systematic Review of User Experiments on the Effects of Dark Patterns

Deceptive/Manipulative Patterns (DMP) are interface designs, also known as "dark patterns," that manipulate user behavior. While considerable attention has been paid to their ethical and legal implications, empirical evidence about their real-world effects remains diffuse. This review synthesizes up-to-date experiment…

Caught in a Mafia Romance: How Users Explore Intimate Narratives with Chatbots

AI chatbots, built using large language models, are increasingly integrated into society and mimic the patterns of human text exchanges. While previous research has raised concerns that humans may form romantic attachment to chatbots, the range of AI-mediated interactions that people wish to create for themselves or o…

Surveilling Suitability: How AI Hiring Interviews Impact Job Seekers with Disabilities

The Illusion of Increased Customization: Framing Choices as a Creative Process Increases Perceived Customization

People are increasingly able to receive customized options. Despite this abundance of options, people may not view products as customized to their wants and needs. Across five experiments, we provide evidence for a possible solution. We find evidence for the Illusion of increased customization: Framing choices as a cr…

We present a cross-cultural diary study with 64 transgender (trans) and non-binary adults in Mexico, the U.S., and India, to understand experiences keeping track of and managing aspects of personal health and well-being. Based on a reflexive thematic analysis of diary data, we highlight sociotechnical interactions tha…

The Deskilling of Domain Expertise in AI Development

Field workers, like farmers and radiologists, play a crucial role in dataset collection for AI models in low-resource settings. However, we know little about how field workers' expertise is leveraged in dataset and model development. Based on 68 interviews with AI developers building for low-resource contexts, we find…
