AmongOthers: A Design Speculation for Rethinking AI in Online Social Communities

Artificial intelligence (AI) is deepening human social experiences within online spaces in increasingly layered ways. Amid these shifts, we designed AmongOthers, an online community populated with 800 AI agents, and rethought human–AI social interactions. Eight participants engaged with AmongOthers for four weeks. For…

Understanding Digital Religion in the Lives of Black Christian Young Adults

Christian communities are increasingly using digital tools to engage their members. However, many young adults are moving away from traditional religious affiliations. This trend is notable among young adult Black Americans, who historically have maintained stronger religious identities than other racial groups. Given…

CalmReminder: A Design Probe for Parental Engagement with Children with Hyperactivity, Augmented by Real-Time Motion Sensing with a Watch

Families raising children with ADHD often experience heightened stress and reactive parenting. While digital interventions promise personalization, many remain one-size-fits-all and fail to reflect parents' lived practices. We present CalmReminder a watch-based system that detects children's calm moments and delivers…

Sustaining Workers Who Sustain the World: Assets-Based Design for Conservation Technologies in Madagascar

Local workers and their knowledge are essential for sustainable and effective conservation efforts. However, many technology-assisted conservation programs are guided by global benchmarks (e.g., forest cover) and industry metrics (e.g., cost per acre), which often devalue local knowledge and fail to consider the econo…

POET: Supporting Prompting Creativity and Personalization with Automated Expansion of Text-to-Image Generation

State-of-the-art visual generative AI tools hold immense potential to assist users in the early ideation stages of creative tasks -- offering the ability to generate (rather than search for) novel and unprecedented (instead of existing) images of considerable quality that also adhere to boundless combinations of user…

Toward Patient-Centered AI Fact Labels: Leveraging Extrinsic Trust Cues

AI technologies in healthcare hold great promise for addressing numerous challenges, but ensuring that patients understand, trust, and adopt these technologies remains a significant hurdle. While the HCI community has proposed AI documentation frameworks (e.g., model cards) to enhance understanding, patient perspectiv…

Can AI Model the Complexities of Human Moral Decision-making? A Qualitative Study of Kidney Allocation Decisions

A growing body of work in Ethical AI attempts to capture human moral judgments through simple computational models. The key question we address in this work is whether such simple AI models capture the critical nuances of moral decision-making by focusing on the use case of kidney allocation. We conducted twenty inter…

Realism Drives Interpersonal Reciprocity but Yields to AI-Assisted Egocentrism in a Coordination Experiment

Virtual reality technologies that enhance realism and artificial intelligence (AI) systems that assist human behavior are increasingly interwoven in social applications. However, how these technologies might jointly influence interpersonal coordination remains unclear. We conducted an experiment with 240 participants…

BallistoBud: Heart Rate Variability Monitoring using Earbud Accelerometry for Stress Assessment

This paper examines the potential of commercial earbuds for detecting physiological biomarkers like heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) for stress assessment. Using accelerometer (IMU) and photoplethysmography (PPG) data from earbuds, we compared these estimates with reference electrocardiogram (ECG) data…

Neural Canvas: Supporting Scenic Design Prototyping by Integrating 3D Sketching and Generative AI

We propose Neural Canvas, a lightweight 3D platform that integrates sketching and a collection of generative AI models to facilitate scenic design prototyping. Compared with traditional 3D tools, sketching in a 3D environment helps designers quickly express spatial ideas, but it does not facilitate the rapid prototypi…
