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

The AI Genie Phenomenon and Three Types of AI Chatbot Addiction: Escapist Roleplays, Pseudosocial Companions, and Epistemic Rabbit Holes

Recent reports on generative AI chatbot use raise concerns about its addictive potential. An in-depth understanding is imperative to minimize risks, yet AI chatbot addiction remains poorly understood. This study examines how to characterize AI chatbot addiction---why users become addicted, the symptoms commonly report…

Cloning the Self for Mental Well-Being: A Framework for Designing Safe and Therapeutic Self-Clone Chatbots

As digital tools increasingly mediate mental health care, self-clone chatbots can offer a uniquely novel approach to intra-personal exploration and self-derived support. Trained to replicate users’ conversational patterns, self-clones allow users to talk to themselves through their digital replicas. Despite the promis…

PASTA: A Scalable Framework for Multi-Policy AI Compliance Evaluation

AI compliance is becoming increasingly critical as AI systems grow more powerful and pervasive. Yet the rapid expansion of AI policies creates substantial burdens for resource-constrained practitioners lacking policy expertise. Existing approaches typically address one policy at a time, making multi-policy compliance…

Mirror to Companion: Exploring Roles, Values, and Risks of AI Self-Clones through Story Completion

Advancing technologies enable machine learning applications that replicate the appearance, behavior, and thought patterns of users based on their personal data. Termed as AI self-clones, these digital doppelgangers present introspective opportunities and existential risks, as they might amplify self-awareness or echo…

AvatARoid: A Motion-Mapped AR Overlay to Bridge the Embodiment Gap Between Robots and Teleoperators in Robot-Mediated Telepresence

Robot-mediated telepresence promises to facilitate effective social interaction between remote teleoperators and on-site users. However, disparities between the robot's form and the teleoperator's representation cause perceptual conflict in on-site users, degrading interaction quality. We introduce AvatARoid, a novel…

CHI '24Conversational Chatbots +1

Engaged and Affective Virtual Agents: Their Impact on Social Presence, Trustworthiness, and Decision-Making in the Group Discussion

This study investigates how different virtual agent (VA) behaviors influence subjects' perceptions and group decision-making. Participants carried out experimental group discussions with a VA exhibiting varying levels of engagement and affective behavior. Engagement refers to the VA's focus on the group task, wher…

Collabot: A Robotic System That Assists Library Users Through Collaboration Between Robots

A library serves as a repository of knowledge accessible to individuals of all ages, genders, educational backgrounds, social statuses, and economic levels. It stands as a communal space where community members can gather, bridging information disparities among various societal strata. To enhance accessibility to such…

CSCW '23AI Ethics

Speculating on Risks of AI Clones to Selfhood and Relationships: Doppelganger-phobia, Identity Fragmentation, and Living Memories

Digitally replicating the appearance and behaviour of individuals is becoming feasible with recent advancements in deep-learning technologies such as interactive deepfake applications, voice conversion, and virtual actors. Interactive applications of such agents, termed AI clones, pose risks related to impression mana…

CSCW '21Aging with Technology

Digital Social Interaction in Older Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults have been encouraged to stay indoors and isolated, leading to potential disruptions in their social activities and interpersonal relationships. This interview study (N=24) provides a close examination of older adults' technology adoption and communication practices in lig…

What’s in a Name? : Effects of Category Labels on the Consumers’ Acceptance of Robotic Products

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of category labels of domestic robots on their consumer acceptance. The authors posited that compared to the label robots, a pre-existent category label such as home appliances would increase the consumers’ evaluation of and purchase intention towards the products. It i…
