Privacy in Human-AI Romantic Relationships: Concerns, Boundaries, and Agency

An increasing number of LLM-based applications are being developed to facilitate romantic relationships with AI partners, yet the safety and privacy risks in these partnerships remain largely underexplored. In this work, we investigate privacy in human–AI romantic relationships through an interview study (N=17), exami…

“Create an environment that protects women, rather than selling anxiety!”: Participatory Threat Modelling with Chinese Young Women Living Alone

As more young women in China live alone, they navigate entangled privacy, security, and safety (PSS) risks across smart homes, online platforms, and public infrastructures. Drawing on six participatory threat modeling (PTM) workshops (n = 33), we present a human-centered threat model that illustrates how digitally fac…

CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +3

Privacy and Safety Experiences and Concerns of US Women Using Generative AI for Seeking Sexual and Reproductive Health Information

The rapid adoption of generative AI (GenAI) chatbots has reshaped access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information, particularly following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, as individuals assigned female at birth increasingly turn to online sources. However, existing research remains largely model-centered, pa…

Investigating Bystander Privacy in Chinese Smart Home Apps

Bystander privacy in smart homes has been widely studied in Western contexts, yet it remains underexplored in non-Western countries such as China. In this study, we analyze 49 Chinese smart home apps using a mixed-methods approach, including privacy policy review, UX/UI evaluation, and assessment of Apple App Store pr…

Scrollytelling as an Alternative Format for Privacy Policies

Privacy policies are long, complex, and rarely read, which limits their effectiveness in informed consent. We investigate scrollytelling, a scroll-driven narrative approach, as a privacy policy presentation format. We built a prototype that interleaves the full policy text with animated visuals to create a dynamic rea…

Exploring the Privacy and Security Challenges Faced by Migrant Domestic Workers in Chinese Smart Homes

The growing use of smart home devices poses considerable privacy and security challenges, especially for individuals like migrant domestic workers (MDWs) who may be surveilled by their employers. This paper explores the privacy and security challenges experienced by MDWs in multi-user smart homes through in-depth semi…

Privacy Perceptions of Custom GPTs by Users and Creators

GPTs are customized LLM apps built on OpenAI's large language model. Any individual or organization can use and create GPTs without needing programming skills. However, the rapid proliferation of over three million GPTs has raised significant privacy concerns. To explore the privacy perspectives of users and creators,…

Voice assistants such as Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, are making their way into the healthcare sector, offering a convenient way for users to access different healthcare services. Trust is a vital factor in the uptake of healthcare services, but the factors affecting trust in voice assistants used for healthcare…

CSCW '24Session 2e: Echo Chambers and Fake News in Focus

Transformer-Based Quantification of the Echo Chamber Effect in Online Communities

An Echo Chamber on social media refers to the environment where like-minded people hear the echo of each others' voices, opinions, or beliefs, which reinforce their own. Echo Chambers can turn social media platforms into collaborative venues that polarize and radicalize users rather than broadening their exposure to…

CSCW '24Session 3e: Trust and Understanding in Explainable AI

Preferences for AI Explanations Based on Cognitive Style and Socio-Cultural Factors

Designing AI systems with the capacity to explain their behaviour is paramount to enable human oversight, facilitate trust, promote acceptance of technology and, ultimately, empower users and improve their experience. There are, however, several challenges to explainable AI, one of which is the generation and selectio…
