Empowering Stakeholders with Participatory Auditing of Predictive AI: Perspectives from End-Users and Decision Subjects without AI Expertise

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications have become ubiquitous in their impact on individuals and society, highlighting a crucial need for their responsible development. Recent research has called for participatory AI auditing, empowering individuals without AI expertise to audit AI applications throughout the entir…

Sorry, Your HIT Is Overbooked – Investigating the Use of Crowdsourcing HIT Catchers

In microtask crowdsourcing, Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) are commonly allocated on a first-come, first-served basis: they are published on the platform and the fastest workers select the most attractive ones first. This step has not received much attention from the scientific community yet, though it can become par…

Metaphors for Good Digital Identities

Digital identities are often discussed or explained as digital versions of physical documents such as passports. This metaphor tends to ignore, intentionally or not, the social challenges associated with real-world implementation of these technologies. This paper presents eight alternative metaphors for “good" digital…

Advancing Affective Intelligence in Virtual Agents Using Affect Control Theory

Affective Intelligent Virtual Agents (AIVAs) has emerged as a research domain that integrates artificial intelligence, affective computing, and virtual agent technology. This fusion aims to develop interactive systems capable of perceiving, interpreting, and responding to human emotions. Affect Control Theory (ACT),…

MedAI-SciTS: Enhancing Interdisciplinary Collaboration between AI Researchers and Medical Experts

Integrating AI in healthcare requires effective interdisciplinary collaboration, yet challenges like methodological differences, terminology barriers, and divergent objectives persist. To address the issues, we introduce MedAI-SciTS, a structured approach combining a theoretical framework and a toolkit to improve coll…

DeliData: A dataset for deliberation in multi-party problem solving

Group deliberation enables people to collaborate and solve problems, however, it is understudied due to a lack of resources. To this end, we introduce the first publicly available dataset containing collaborative conversations on solving a well-established cognitive task, consisting of 500 group dialogues and 14k utte…

The Barriers to Online Clothing Websites for Visually Impaired People: An Interview and Observation Approach to Understanding Needs

Visually impaired (VI) people often face challenges when performing everyday tasks and identify shopping for clothes as one of the most challenging. Many engage in online shopping, which eliminates some challenges of physical shopping. However, clothes shopping online suffers from many other limitations and barriers.…

Integrative Objects in Sociotechnical Contexts: Constructing Digital Well-Being with Generic Epistemology

This paper presents a generative approach to interdisciplinary collaboration based on generic epistemology. Informed by the work of philosopher Anne-Françoise Schmid, we introduce the concept of the integrative object as a means to reorient interdisciplinary collaboration toward the requirements of the object of resea…

CrowdCO-OP: Sharing Risks and Rewards in Crowdsourcing

Paid micro-task crowdsourcing has gained in popularity partly due to the increasing need for large-scale manually labelled datasets which are often used to train and evaluate Artificial Intelligence systems. Modern paid crowdsourcing platforms use a piecework approach to rewards, meaning that workers are paid for each…

Nationality and Gender Biases in Multicultural Online Learning Environments: The Effects of Anonymity

Online learning environments eliminate geographical barriers and enable new forms of collaboration between students at large scale. Self-presentation within such environments affects how students interact with learning content and with each other. We explore how anonymity/identifiability in user profile design impacts…
