Generative AI technologies are moving into school settings. However, there is confusion about how, when, and why these technologies should be used. Our aim is to provide insights on how AI technology can be meaningfully integrated into schools, with a specific focus on secondary school education. Informed by ten teachers, we developed Prompt Machin...
Intertemporal reflection, flexibly thinking forward and backward in time, is vital for one's future planning. Yet, cultivating intertemporal reflection about encountering difficult futures, e.g., developing a progressive cognitive condition like dementia, can be challenging. We assessed people's attitudes towards dementia following conversing with...
This paper investigates the impact of artificial intelligence integration on remote operations, emphasising its influence on both distributed and team cognition. As remote operations increasingly rely on digital interfaces, sensors, and networked communication, AI-driven systems transform decision-making processes across domains such as air traffic...
Successful collaboration in computer-mediated teams requires awareness among group members of each other’s knowledge, skills, and goals. Large Language Models (LLMs) can play a mediating role in establishing and maintaining this awareness among group members. In an in-situ study, we explored the impact of an LLM-based chatbot on social and cognitiv...
Young adults may feel embarrassed when disclosing sensitive information to their parents, while parents might similarly avoid sharing sensitive aspects of their lives with their children. How to design interactive interventions that are sensitive to the needs of both younger and older family members in mediating sensitive information remains an ope...
Individuals are increasingly interested in and responsible for assessing their own health. This study evaluates a fictional AI dermatologist for assistance in the self-assessment of moles. Building on the Signalling Theory, we tested the effect of textual descriptions provided by an AI dermatologist, as manipulated across ‘Ability’, ‘Integrity,’ an...
When searching and browsing the web, more and more of the information we encounter is generated or mediated through large language models (LLMs). This can be looking for a recipe, getting help on an essay, or looking for relationship advice. Yet, there is limited understanding of how individuals perceive advice provided by these LLMs. In this paper...
Users ask large language models (LLMs) to help with their homework, for lifestyle advice, or for support in making challenging decisions. Yet LLMs are often unable to fulfil these requests, either as a result of their technical inabilities or policies restricting their responses. To investigate the effect of LLMs denying user requests, we evaluate...
Despite repeated reports of socially inappropriate and dangerous chatbot behaviour, chatbots are increasingly used as mental health services in providing support for young people. In sensitive settings as such, the notion of perceived moral agency (PMA) is crucial, given its critical role in human-human interactions. In this paper, we investigate t...
From straightforward interactions to full-fledged open-ended dialogues, Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs) are designed to support end-user goals and follow their requests. As CUIs become more capable, investigating how to restrict or limit their ability to carry out user requests becomes increasingly critical. Currently, such intentionally cons...
