Aletta Smits, professor in Human Centred Technology, zoomed in on human-AI interaction: how to give people autonomy and control. She introduced us to terms like recommender systems: any tool that helps you select one or more from a host of options; and decision support systems: any tool that helps you …

How designers can contribute to responsible AI in the clinic

Presentatie bij Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens over algorithmic affordances en hoe deze hun dienstverlening kunnen verbeteren

Over de betrouwbaarheid van AI, en de mogelijkheden binnen verschillende sectoren.

Algorithmic affordances—interactive mechanisms that allow users to exercise tangible control over algorithms—play a crucial role in recommender systems. They can facilitate users’ sense of autonomy, transparency, and ultimately ownership over a recommender’s results, all qualities that are central to …

Presentatie van ons paper: Hardly any sliders in real-world apps: a library of algorithmic affordances to bridge the research-practice gap in Human-AI Interaction

The Academic Research and Professional Practice in Interaction Design (ARPPID) working conference is a new forum to explore the existing and possible connections between academic research and industrial practices in interaction design. This first ARPPID appointment aims at providing a platform for theoretical …

Discussion of how algorithmic affordances in educational recommender systems can help create responsible AI, but how they also potentially introduce new ethical problems

Algorithmic affordances are defined as user interaction mechanisms that allow users tangible control over AI algorithms, such as recommender systems. Designing such algorithmic affordances, including assessing their impact, is not straightforward and practitioners state that they lack resources to design …

This exploratory study investigates the rationale behind categorizing algorithmic controls, or algorithmic affordances, in the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of recommender systems. Seven professionals from industry and academia took part in an open card sorting activity to analyze 45 cards with examples …
