The effectiveness of this approach depends not only on the performance of the machine learner but also on the user’s understanding of its recognition capabilities, allowing them to adapt and work around recognition failures. We investigate how different model training strategies to select gesture classes and record respective muscle contractions impact model accuracy and user comprehension. We report on a lab experiment where participants performed hand gestures to train a classifier under three conditions: (1) the system cues gesture classes randomly (control), (2) the user selects gesture classes (teacher-led), (3) the system queries gesture classes based on their separability (learner-led). After training, we compare the models’ accuracy and test participants’ predictive understanding of the prosthesis’ behavior. We found that teacher-led and learner-led strategies yield faster and greater performance increases, respectively. Combining two evaluation methods, we found that participants developed a more accurate mental model when the system queried the least separable gesture class (learner-led). Our results conclude that, in the context of machine learning-based myoelectric prosthesis control, guiding the user to focus on class separability during training can improve recognition performances and support users’ mental models about the system’s behavior. We discuss our results in light of several research fields : myoelectric prosthesis control, motor learning, human-robot interaction, and interactive machine teaching.}, series = {IUI '24}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, pages = {715--730}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, year = {2024}, title = {Comparing teaching strategies of a machine learning-based prosthetic arm}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces}, author = {Sungeelee, Vaynee and Sanchez, Téo and Jarrassé, Nathanaël and Caramiaux, Baptiste} }

Exploring the reflective space of AI narratives through speculative design in Japan and Germany

Design professionals play a crucial role in this research context as they not only take part in the development of technology applications but are also involved in shaping public narratives about socio-technical relations as agents of public imagination. We examined how designers envision future societies and how future narratives as a result of design processes are reflected upon by an external audience. In Study 1, we rolled out three speculative design workshops in Japan and Germany with young design professionals. The analysis of the resulting design representations (artifacts) reveals that the relationship between human autonomy and AI-driven automation represents a central theme in the imagination of futures. Visions created in Japan draw from (pop-)culture-specific narratives, but also from governmental agendas. In projects from Germany, corporations lead the deployment of AI systems that alter society and social interactions. In a follow-up Study 2, we analyze the perceptions of created artifacts through a survey with 174 students from computer science. We identify loss of privacy, ethical concerns, governmental control, surveillance, and loss of free speech as main themes of reflection, which is in line with themes raised by designers. Students focus on societal impacts of use and aims of depicted applications rather than on AI as technical facet. Visualizations created in Study 1 appear to have a strong influence on the audience’s impression of the depicted technological applications in Study 2. Although cultural differences regarding style of visualization seem to play a decisive role for creation in Study 1, they do not seem to have a major effect on participants’ reflections in Study 2. Overall, findings from both studies contribute to advancing the understanding of design speculations in creation and perception.}, series = {GoodIT '23}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, pages = {351--362}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, year = {2023}, title = {Exploring the reflective space of AI narratives through speculative design in Japan and Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Conference on Information Technology for Social Good}, author = {Hohendanner, Michel and Ullstein, Chiara and Buchmeier, Yosuke and Grossklags, Jens} }

AI-competent individuals and laypeople tend to oppose facial analysis AI

Some scholars have argued for supposedly “common sense” facial inferences that can be reliably drawn from faces using AI. Other scholars have raised concerns about an automated version of “physiognomic practices” that facial analysis AI could entail. We contribute to this multidisciplinary discussion by exploring how individuals with AI competence and laypeople evaluate facial analysis AI inference-making. Ethical considerations of both groups should inform the design of ethical computer vision AI. In a two-scenario vignette study, we explore how ethical evaluations of both groups differ across a low-stake advertisement and a high-stake hiring context. Next to a statistical analysis of AI inference ratings, we apply a mixed methods approach to evaluate the justification themes identified by a qualitative content analysis of participants’ 2768 justifications. We find that people with AI competence (N=122) and laypeople (N=122; validation N=102) share many ethical perceptions about facial analysis AI. The application context has an effect on how AI inference-making from faces is perceived. While differences in AI competence did not have an effect on inference ratings, specific differences were observable for the ethical justifications. A validation laypeople dataset confirms these results. Our work offers a participatory AI ethics approach to the ongoing policy discussions on the normative dimensions and implications of computer vision AI. Our research seeks to inform, challenge, and complement conceptual and theoretical perspectives on computer vision AI ethics.}, series = {EAAMO '22}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, year = {2022}, title = {AI-competent individuals and laypeople tend to oppose facial analysis AI}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2nd ACM Conference on Equity and Access in Algorithms, Mechanisms, and Optimization}, author = {Ullstein, Chiara and Engelmann, Severin and Papakyriakopoulos, Orestis and Hohendanner, Michel and Grossklags, Jens} }
