The results do not support the view that AI assistance currently poses an existential threat to online research, but reveal limited payment consequences for prohibited use and gaps in platform safeguards, leaving platforms poorly prepared should that threat materialize.

While generative AI models can produce visually faithful artwork, they often fall short in conveying emotional authenticity--a key driver of human expression. In visual storytelling, particularly comic storyboarding, this gap becomes pronounced: effective storyboards require both technical knowledge (e.g., anatomical a...
People communicate how things should move by combining words with demonstrations:"open it like this."We present an interaction technique that brings this expressive resource to conversational 3D authoring. Building on"Put-That-There,"our system combines speech, pointing, and spatiotemporal demonstrations to specify edi...

The rapid deployment of AI systems has created socio-technical, psychological, and operational harms that can elude ex-ante threat modelling and ex-post incident tracking. We introduce an LLM-assisted thematic analysis pipeline to dynamically detect, categorise, and track emerging AI harms from large-scale social media...

Recent research has revealed that accessibility in virtual collaboration is not only a technical problem but also depends on allyship: the informal, interpersonal practices through which people support others'accessibility needs. Yet little research has examined how artificial intelligence (AI) might support allyship i...

As AI enters reflection and emotional support, understanding how it can participate in personal meaning-making while preserving users' authority over interpretation is increasingly important. We present ClayFlect, a novel MLLM-powered system integrating tactile clay-making with conversational and visual generative AI,...

Despite the ubiquity of sensors in wearable and mobile devices and the abundance of human movement data they generate, translating unlabeled recordings into foundational motion models remains an open challenge. Self-supervised learning (SSL) has alleviated the need for costly annotations, yet existing approaches leave...

We present REFIT, an input calibration for frozen activity-recognition models whose inertial sensors are worn differently at deployment than in training. When users move a watch to the other wrist or put a strap sensor back on turned, the model sees the same motion on changed axes. REFIT undoes such shifts without labe...
Do large language models' (LLMs') answers to self-report questionnaires predict how they behave? Prior work finds they do not, but it uses human personality inventories, so the gap could reflect borrowed human constructs rather than LLM self-report itself. We test this with a self-report instrument built from LLM-speci...
Partial driving automation creates a tension: drivers remain legally responsible while being less active in control. Meaningful human control (MHC), a normative framework that can potentially address this tension, proposes that automated systems are designed to track relevant human reasons and that humans should at all...

What-if analysis (WIA) lets users explore hypothetical scenarios by adjusting parameters, applying constraints, and scoping data through interactive interfaces. Current tools fall short: spreadsheet and BI tools require laborious setup, while LLM-generated interfaces frequently misinterpret analytical intent. It remain...

AI learning tools are rapidly entering classrooms, but evidence about whether they help students learn is mixed and rests mostly on test scores. Comparatively less research addresses whether the use of AI changes students' live learning behaviors in class. Here, we report the results of a preregistered field experiment...

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…
