IUI '26Dark Patterns Recognition +3

SusBench: An Online Benchmark for Evaluating Dark Pattern Susceptibility of Computer-Use Agents

As LLM-based computer-use agents (CUAs) begin to autonomously interact with real-world interfaces, understanding their vulnerability to manipulative interface designs becomes increasingly critical. We introduce SusBench, an online benchmark for evaluating the susceptibility of CUAs to UI dark patterns, designs that ai…

PrivWeb: Unobtrusive and Content-aware Privacy Protection For Web Agents

While web agents gained popularity by automating web interactions, their requirement for interface access introduces privacy risks that are understudied, particularly from users' perspective. Through a formative study (N=15), we found that users frequently misunderstand agent data practices, and desire unobtrusive, tr…

CHI '26Best PaperSocial Platform Design & User Behavior +3

With Visual Integrity and Care: A Framework for Mixed Methods Research on Visual Social Data

The internet is becoming increasingly visual, but social computing research and methodological training has relied heavily on textual methods. Methodological innovation is needed to study visual social data, including problematic information (mis- and disinformation, propaganda, hate, AI slop, etc). Contending with th…

Privy: Envisioning and Mitigating Privacy Risks for Consumer-facing AI Product Concepts

AI creates and exacerbates privacy risks, yet practitioners lack effective resources to identify and mitigate these risks. We present Privy, a tool that guides practitioners without privacy expertise through structured privacy impact assessments to: (i) identify relevant risks in novel AI product concepts, and (ii) pr…

From Slang to Standards: Consensus-Driven Airdrop Hunter Definition as a Baseline for Cryptocurrency Ecosystem Security and Governance

Cryptocurrency airdrops power the growth and governance of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, yet attract airdrop hunters, who coordinate wallets, script interactions, and cash out quickly, distorting metrics and fairness. Prior detection strands (heuristics/clustering, light-supervised community partitioning, and graph le…

CHI '26Honorable MentionHealth Self-Tracking +2

Sprout: Using a Visual Metaphor to Support Customizable and Collaborative Health Tracking

Self-tracking tools can support health awareness and behavior change, though sustaining engagement remains difficult. Prior work has explored qualitative visualization, customization, and collaborative features to promote engagement; but little is known about how these strategies interact when combined. We present Spr…

Generative AI and Creative Mediums for Youth’s Emotion Regulation: An Interview Study with Clinicians

Emotion regulation (ER) is essential to youth well-being, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an established approach for building ER skills. Clinicians often use creative mediums such as visuals and narratives to support ER through CBT, yet access and personalization remain limited. Generative AI (GenAI) shows…

CHI '26Visual Impairment Technologies (Screen Readers, Tactile Graphics, Braille) +2

Nonvisual Support for Understanding and Reasoning about Data Structures

Blind and visually impaired (BVI) computer science students face systematic barriers when learning data structures: current accessibility approaches typically translate diagrams into alternative text, focusing on visual appearance rather than preserving the underlying structure essential for conceptual understanding.…

CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Digitizing the Pre-consultation Experience: Impacts and Design Recommendations

Clinical pre-consultation, where patients share health information prior to an appointment, offers a pathway to more patient-centered care by freeing time for meaningful patient–physician conversations. Conversational agents powered by large language models (LLMs) can automate this process to make it more scalable and…

Pringles, Prangles, or Prongles? Negotiating Creative Authorship in Children's Remix Practices

Remix has emerged as a significant form of creativity, enabled by digital tools that allow the reinterpretation of existing cultural artifacts. However, the implications of remix on concepts of authorship remain largely unexamined. Therefore, this study examines children's remix experiences to understand how they deve…
