ChoiceMates: Supporting Unfamiliar Online Decision-Making with Multi-Agent Conversational Interactions

From purchasing a gift to deciding on a hobby, unfamiliar decisions---decisions without domain knowledge and experience---are frequent and significant. The complexity and uncertainty of such decisions demand unique approaches to information seeking, understanding, and decision-making. Our formative study highlights th…

Do Teachers Dream of GenAI Widening Educational (In)equality? Envisioning the Future of K-12 GenAI Education from Global Teachers’ Perspectives

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly entering K-12 classrooms worldwide, initiating urgent debates about its potential to either reduce or exacerbate educational inequalities. Drawing on interviews with 30 K-12 teachers across the United States, South Africa, and Taiwan, this study examines how teache…

PrivacyAkinator: Articulating Key Privacy Design Decisions by Answering LLM-Generated Multiple-choice Questions

NIST's Privacy Risk Assessment Methodology (PRAM) provides a structured framework for privacy experts to assess privacy risks. However, its complexity and reliance on expert knowledge make it difficult for novice developers to use effectively. This paper explores methods to lower these barriers. We first performed an…

Taking the control back – An adventure in developing personalized content moderation

Online platforms are riddled with harassment, which significantly impacts the well-being of users. Unfortunately, the content moder- ation solutions provided by platforms often disappoint end-users as they fail to equip individuals with sufficient controls for their personal situations. In this work, the author, who p…

Beyond Clinical Risk: An Experimental Study of Cybersecurity Informed Consent and Patient Choice for Connected Medical Devices

Internet-connected medical devices introduce complex cybersecurity risks that challenge the established practice of informed consent. It remains unclear how patients weigh these abstract, dynamic threats against concrete clinical benefits. We present findings from a large-scale (N=2,666) vignette-based experiment desi…

Barriers that Programming Instructors Face While Performing Emergency Pedagogical Design to Shape Student-AI Interactions with Generative AI Tools

Generative AI (GenAI) tools are increasingly pervasive, pushing instructors to redesign how students use GenAI tools in coursework. We conceptualize this work as emergency pedagogical design: reactive, indirect efforts by instructors to shape student-AI interactions without control over commercial interfaces. To under…

VizCrit: Exploring Strategies for Displaying Computational Feedback in a Visual Design Tool

Visual design instructors often provide multi-modal feedback, mixing annotations with text. Prior theory emphasizes the importance of actionable feedback, where “actionability” lies on a spectrum—from surfacing relevant design concepts to suggesting concrete fixes. How might creativity tools implement annotations that…

Tidynote: Always-Clear Notebook Authoring

Recent work identified clarity as one of the top quality attributes that notebook users value, but notebooks lack support for maintaining clarity throughout the exploratory phases of the notebook authoring workflow. We propose always-clear notebook authoring that supports both clarity and exploration, and present a Ju…

Deception at Scale: Deceptive Designs in 1K LLM-Generated E-Commerce Components

Recent work has shown that front-end code generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) can embed deceptive designs. To assess the magnitude of this problem, identify the factors that influence deceptive design production, and test strategies for reducing deceptive designs, we carried out two studies which generated and a…

The Balancing Act of Social Audio Facilitators: When Self-Promotion Overshadows Community Care

Voice-based social media platforms, such as X-Spaces, Discord, and Clubhouse have seen considerable growth in recent years. Such platforms enable attendees to have real-time, ephemeral interactions with each other. While prior research on these spaces has predominantly focused on moderating harms, our work seeks to un…
