IUI '26Explainable AI (XAI) +3

User Compliance and Awareness towards Persuasive XAI: Investigating the Rhetorical Layer of LLM-generated Explanations

In high-stakes decision-making, the acceptance of AI recommendations depends not only on system accuracy but also on how decisions are explained. While prior work on explainable AI has largely focused on transparency and interpretability, less attention has been paid to the persuasive dimension of explanations. To add…

CHI '26Elderly Care & Dementia Support +3

Calls of Care: Materializing Posthuman Personhood with Conversational Agents in Dementia Care

In designing for dementia, the concept of person-centered care (PCC) effectively shifts attention away from deficit orientations. However, it predominantly focuses on the roles of humans in sustaining personhood, leaving the roles of nonhuman actors in care assemblages under-explored. To address this, we propose a the…

Mapping Social Media Dependency: Functional and Psychological Platform Reliance as Mechanisms of Digital Vulnerability

Social media dependency is a central mechanism through which digital vulnerability takes shape, making it critical to understand for research, design, and policy. This study distinguishes between functional dependency (needs-based reliance) and psychological dependency (compulsive engagement) and investigates how thes…

CHI '26Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) +2

Grand Challenges around Designing Computers’ Control Over Our Bodies

Advances in emerging technologies, such as on-body mechanical actuators and electrical muscle stimulation, have allowed computers to take control over our bodies. This presents opportunities as well as challenges, raising fundamental questions about agency and the role of our body when interacting with technology. To…

Decomposing Autonomy: Explaining AI Technology Acceptance Through a Liberty-Based Framework

Human autonomy is a core concept that helps explain the acceptance of and interaction with computer systems and AI technology. However, autonomy is often vaguely defined and conflated with related constructs. This paper disentangles autonomy by integrating the dualistic nature of positive and negative liberty from the…

Visual Sampling Behavior Does not Explain Risk Perception: A Data-Driven xAI Investigation

How do drivers perceive risk? Understanding what situations and factors cause drivers to perceive situations as critical can improve our understanding of road user behavior and inform automated driving technology. To investigate the factors that shape drivers’ risk perception, we conducted an eye-tracking study with 2…

SPAT: Situational Prosocial and Aggressive Behavior Perception in Traffic Scale

Automated vehicles (AVs) reached technological maturity and will soon arrive on streets as traffic participants. Human traffic participants such as drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists will be increasingly confronted with the presence of AVs within their environment, not necessarily knowing or understanding what to expec…

Hackathons in Designing Robotic Technology in Dementia Care - Navigating Needs and Relations

Designing for dementia care is challenging due to its complexity, relational nature, and diverse needs. Meaningful design outcomes require bridging a deep understanding of dementia care and the experiences of people with dementia with technological possibilities and constraints. This paper explores hackathons for faci…

CHI '25AI Ethics, Fairness & Accountability +1

"Why do we do this?": Moral Stress and the Affective Experience of Ethics in Practice

A plethora of toolkits, checklists, and workshops have been developed to bridge the well-documented gap between AI ethics principles and practice. Yet little is known about effects of such interventions on practitioners. We conducted an ethnographic investigation in a major European city organization that developed an…
