Adaptive technology for older adults with cognitive impairment is typically designed around individual preference, yet most of this population lives and cooks with a spouse or family member. This paper examines a co-design workshop in which four dyads and two individuals (N=10) built kitchen cabinet designs from twenty...

Age verification is often treated as a technical problem: can a system determine a child's age accurately? We argue this framing is too narrow. Age assurance becomes consequential when evidence is evaluated, translated into age-related claims, and used to decide whether a person can access, purchase, or belong. We revi...

AI chatbots are increasingly used as sources of emotional support, on dedicated companion apps and general-purpose assistants alike, yet little is known about what happens when users try to leave. Combining a content analysis of Reddit posts about quitting or reducing use (N=2,782) with interviews with users who found...

It is suggested that generative AI may not necessarily alter final ethical judgments but may be associated with broader exploration of perspectives prior to reaching those judgments.
As organizations accelerate the adoption and use of artificial intelligence, a common misconception arises that equates automation with progress and strategic necessity. This paper argues that not all that can be automated should be automated. It introduces Strategic Minimalism, a disciplined and ethically grounded app...
Four recurring governance principles emerged from the findings: Intentionality, whereby leaders deliberately determine when AI should be used; Interpretability, requiring decision processes to be sufficiently transparent to enable explanation and scrutiny; Moral Authorship, whereby identifiable human actors retain resp...

The mouse cursor has remained visually mute for half a century: it shows where we point, but says nothing about how we move. We present the Onomatopoeia Cursor, a shipped macOS overlay that classifies cursor kinematics in real time and renders Japanese mimetic words (onomatopoeia) as animated comic-style lettering abov...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are everywhere, yet many learners lack a concrete mental model of how they generate text. This paper presents LLMs Unplugged, an unplugged set of activities that teaches the training-to-generation loop (and beyond) using hand-built n-gram models and simple weighted sampling. Workshops based...

Open peer review is advocated as a way to make review more dialogic, yet evidence on whether it changes participant behavior remains scarce. We compare two transparent review designs: Nature Human Behaviour, an editor-mediated model, and International Conference on Learning Representations 2023, a discussion-based mode...
A review of adaptive human-AI collaboration literature through a closed-loop lens and integrates three taxonomies into MCAL, a dual-timescale Multimodal Co-Adaptation Loop reference model.

A mixed-methods study using electrodermal activity, eye tracking, and questionnaires to compare two medical data stories: an individual, character-based version and a general, population-level version without an individual protagonist, suggesting that individual and population-level framings may support different emoti...

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
