Scoping the Landscape of Large Language Model-based Affective Personal Informatics: Review, Reflection, Future Direction
Affective personal informatics (PI) involves capturing, tracking, analyzing, and reflecting on personal data to support emotional self-awareness and mental well-being.Task-State Governance: A Virtual Machine for Verifiable and Recoverable GUI Agent Execution
Graphical user interface (GUI) agents now execute workflows across real applications, but when execution drifts, users must determine what changed, what should have remained untouched, and what can…The Body-Algorithm-Emotion Loop: Making Emotion AI Misrecognition Visible through Artistic Practice
This pictorial presents The Body in Algorithmic Colonialism, a screen-based interactive installation that critically examines Emotion-AI through artistic practice.What and Where in Identifying and Quantifying Conventions in Humans and AI Agents
Cooperative success rests in part on implicit communication.Let Me Clarify: Interactive Modeling of Soft Attributes
People commonly express preferences through soft attributes such as is interesting,'' which are difficult to operationalize for computational preference modeling.From Semantic Editing Intentions to Persistent Parametric Controls for AI-Assisted Image Editing
AI-powered image editing increasingly allows users to express high-level editing intentions, yet how these intentions are translated into concrete editing actions often remains difficult to…Speculative Sampling in Interactive Video Generation
Interactive video generation commonly relies on small bidirectional chunks to reduce response latency.Player-1: Learning to Play from Synthetic Experience
Computer-use agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in interpreting screens and executing keyboard and mouse actions.Open Benchmark of AI Impact on Humans (ImpactBench): an expert-guided, open platform for the holistic evaluation of AI impact on humans
The present work is concerned with how to measure, at scale, the multi-dimensional impact of generative AI models on the individuals who use them.EEG-Based Prediction of Music Enjoyment Using Deep Learning with Explainable Temporal Analysis
Understanding why listeners enjoy music is difficult because the experience is subjective and changes as a piece unfolds.DISARM-ing the Hidden Puppetmaster: An Interface for Exposing Manipulative Tactics in Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) can covertly steer users' beliefs through emotionally manipulative tactics, yet little is known about how interfaces can protect users as such influence unfolds.InSight: A Mobile Assistant Helping Visually Impaired People Navigate Unfamiliar Environment
Navigating unfamiliar outdoor environments is one of the most demanding everyday tasks for people with visual impairments (PVI).Safety for Whom? Benchmarking Understanding Beyond Refusal in Egocentric Multimodal Assistants
Egocentric multimodal assistants see through the user's eyes and guide what the user does next, so their outputs directly shape physical actions, including those that affect bystanders.CompanionSafe: From Multi-turn Safety Evaluation to Guardrails for AI Companions
AI companions provide users with emotional support and ongoing companionship, but their sustained relational interactions also introduce distinct safety risks.Exploring Object Recall in an Object-Rich AR Office Scene
Augmented reality (AR) changes how users perceive and attend to their surroundings.Understanding the "Why": Investigating the Design of Privacy Support Tools (PSTs) through the Lens of Psychological Needs
Privacy Support Tools (PSTs) help users control their digital data, but face low adoption due to resignation and overwhelm.How Safe Is ChatGPT Health Advice? Evidence from Real User Conversations in Four Global South Countries
People increasingly bring their health questions to ChatGPT, yet safety evaluations of LLM health advice rest almost entirely on clinician-authored vignettes, synthetic prompts, or simulated user…From Mind Mapping to Dream Interpretation: Understanding Muslim Users' Engagement with GenAI Tools in Religious Context
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools are increasingly integrated into everyday life, including sensitive domains such as religion.Known-Voice Cloning and the Limits of Personality Transfer for Character Design
Recent advances in zero-shot voice cloning systems make it possible to reproduce a recognizable voice from a short recording and attach it to arbitrary virtual characters.Communicating Uncertainty in AI-Supported Nurse Scheduling: Expert Co-Design and Evaluation of an Explainable AI Prototype
