CHI '26Social Platform Design & User Behavior +2

"My Brother Is a School Principal, Earns About $80,000 Per Year... But When the Kids See Me, 'Wow, Uncle, You Have 1,500 Followers on TikTok!'": A Study of Blind TikTokers' Alternative Professional Development Experiences

One’s profession is an essential part of modern life. Traditionally, professional development has been criticized for excluding people with disabilities. People with visual impairments, for example, face disproportionately low employment rates, highlighting persistent gaps in professional opportunities. Recently, ther…

Toward Scalable and Responsible Integration of Course-Specific AI Tutors: Instructor Experiences with a Campus-Wide Platform

Despite rapid investment in generative AI across higher education, how instructors create, evaluate, and implement course-specific AI tutors remain empirically underexplored, highlighting critical tensions between institutional adoption and instructional practices. Drawing on interviews with 20 instructors, teaching a…

CHI '26Explainable AI (XAI) +3

Contextualizing Datasets: Deepening Awareness of Data Biases through Critical Reflection of Civic Data

To broaden participation in computing and AI design, researchers urge supporting individuals to probe datasets for biases that technologies might amplify. Critically probing data requires first recognizing that it is not neutral, achievable through data contextualization---understanding data contexts including its ori…

CHI '26Haptic Wearables +2

Co-Designing Multimodal Systems for Accessible Asynchronous Dance Instruction

Videos make exercise instruction widely available, but they rely on visual demonstrations that blind and low vision (BLV) learners cannot see. While audio descriptions (AD) can make videos accessible, describing movements remains challenging as the AD must convey what to do (mechanics, location, orientation) and how t…

Praxis for Otherwise Worlds: Expanding Emancipatory HCI through Black Studies

This paper positions Black Studies as a foundational analytic for Emancipatory HCI, showing how Afropessimism and Afrofuturism together model a praxis for designing otherwise worlds. Afropessimism offers a diagnostic lens for understanding how anti-Blackness structures the epistemic, institutional, and sociotechnical…

State Your Intention to Steer Your Attention: An AI Assistant for Intentional Digital Living

When working on digital devices, people often face distractions that can lead to a decline in productivity and efficiency, as well as negative psychological and emotional impacts. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant that elicits a user's intention, assesses whether on…

A11y-CUA Dataset: Characterizing the Accessibility Gap in Computer Use Agents

Computer Use Agents (CUAs) operate interfaces by pointing, clicking, and typing - mirroring interactions of sighted users (SUs) who can thus monitor CUAs and share control. CUAs do not reflect interactions by blind and low-vision users (BLVUs) who use assistive technology (AT). BLVUs thus cannot easily collaborate wit…

Moderating the Workplace: Governing Communication Channels for Platform Workers

Platform workers often experience isolation in their work. They use online forums to connect, but their moderation remains underexplored. Article 20 of the EU Platform Work Directive requires digital labour platforms to provide workers with a “communication channel” and leaves interpretation for how to design it up to…

CHI '26Social Robot Interaction +2

Negotiating the Real World of Domestic Service Robotics

What values do technologists cite when evaluating technologies intended for application in "real world" social contexts like domestic settings? This paper examines the negotiation of values among the organizers who design and run the world’s largest domestic service robotics competition, RoboCup@Home. We perform an i…

CHI '26Explainable AI (XAI) +2

Beyond Accuracy: Experts See AI Fact-Checks as Accurate but Less Useful

As misinformation proliferates online, large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as a promising tool to accelerate fact-checking workflows. While LLMs demonstrate strong performance in tasks such as text annotation, their capabilities in generating fact-checking reports remain uncertain. To investigate how media…
