Final CFP: Human-centricity in a Sustainable Digital Economy
by Soheil Human 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

FYI > From: Soheil Human <soheil.human(a)univie.ac.at> > Date: 10. June 2022 at 10:30:13 CEST > Subject: [cogsci.misc] Final CFP: Human-centricity in a Sustainable Digital Economy > > > The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) invites submission of papers to: > > The minitrack on "Human-centricity in a Sustainable Digital Economy" > > Paper Submission Deadline: June 15 > > The internet and the global digital transformation have changed many different aspects of our lives. Not only the economies and the societies but also people’s personal lives have been influenced by this new and ever-emerging era of our history. While the digital age has made it possible to provide novel services and solutions for the end-users, it has also caused serious concerns in different individual and societal levels, such as issues regarding online privacy, algorithmic bias, fairness and accountability of information systems, transparency, governance, and explainability of information systems, end-user manipulations, fake news, traceability, etc. The development of human-centric and end-user empowering information systems can be one approach towards “digital sustainability” since they enable individuals to influence how their data is used, by whom, and for which purpose. Many novel and personalized services are emerging in this direction, which make the digital economy sustainable, i.e. a positive place that focuses on human users. > This minitrack aims to attract research that advances the understanding of human-centricity and end-user empowerment in a sustainable digital economy. As the transformation is multidimensional in nature, the minitrack adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, which considers human-centricity and end-user empowerment across application domains (e.g. software development, digital commerce, healthcare, administration, mobile apps, social media, and online services) and disciplines (e.g. economics, ecology, computer science, sociology). Among the relevant topics are: > • Characteristics and design of sustainable human-centric information systems > • Evaluation of existing information systems from a human-centric perspective > • Co-creation and co-production of human-centric sustainable information systems > • Analysis and design of technologies (e.g. AI, Blockchain) that empower end-users > • Design of human-centric end-user agents, AI and machine learning > • Fairness, transparency, accountability and controllability of information systems > • Legal, social, political or economic aspects of human-centricity in information systems > • Identity, privacy and consent management systems > • Business value of human-centric and/or user empowered solutions > • Sociotechnical and political aspects of human-centricity in information systems > • Digital nudging for increasing social or ecological responsibilities > • Ethical concerns regarding human-centricity and/or sustainability > • The role of platforms in digital sustainability > • Human-centricity and sustainability in platform economy, shared economy, circular economy, and digital economy > • Study of gaps, barriers, enablers, drivers, and concerns related to human-centricity and sustainability in digital systems, ecosystems, and environments > • Ubiquitous, pervasive, and/or ambient human-centricity in digital environments > • Study of human’s perception, experience, or interactions in digital environments > • COVID-19’s impact on human-centricity or sustainability of information systems > > Selected papers will be invited for a fast-track in Electronic Markets – The International Journal on Networked Business. A Special Issue on “Applied Human-centricity in a Sustainable Digital Economy” at Electronic Markets is planned. > > Minitrack Co-Chairs: > Soheil Human (Primary Contact) > Vienna University of Economics and Business > soheil.humann(a)wu.ac.at > > Gustaf Neumann > Vienna University of Economics and Business > gustaf.neumann(a)wu.ac.at > > Rainer Alt > Leipzig University > rainer.alt(a)uni-leipzig.de > > Important Dates for Paper Submission > • April 15: Paper Submission System Reopened for HICSS-56 > • June 15: Paper Submission Deadline > • August 17: Notification of Acceptance/Rejection > • September 4: Deadline for authors whose papers are conditionally accepted to submit a revised manuscript > • September 22: Deadline for Authors to Submit Final Manuscript for Publication > • October 1: Deadline for at least one author of each paper to register for the conference > > Author instructions: > https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ > > > Publication of Papers: > > HICSS is the #1 Information Systems conference in terms of citations as recorded by Google Scholar.

Needs-aware Artificial Intelligence — AI that ‘serves [human] needs’
by Soheil Human 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to our next Sustainable Computing Lecture: Title: Needs-aware Artificial Intelligence — AI that ‘serves [human] needs’ Wednesday, 02.02.2022, 16:00 — 17:30 CET Speakers: Soheil Human (Vienna University of Economics and Business, and University of Vienna) Ryan Watkins (George Washington University) Short bios: Soheil Human is the director of the Sustainable Computing Lab at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. He is also a lecturer at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Vienna. He has been leading several interdisciplinary research projects on Sustainability, Human-centricity, Accountability, Lawfulness, and Ethicality of Socio-technical Systems. In his research, he combines concepts and methodologies from various fields such as Cognitive Science, Information Systems, Artificial Intelligence, and STS/HPS. Ryan Watkins is a Professor at the George Washington University in Washington DC. He teaches in the Educational Technology Leadership (MA) program, and the interdisciplinary Human-Technology Collaboration (PhD) program. He is an author of 11 books and over 100 articles and chapters, on topics including needs assessments, program evaluation, and educational technologies. He is co-host of the Parsing Science podcast, and developer of the We Share Science and SciencePods web apps. Abstract: Throughout their history, Homo sapiens have used technologies to better satisfy their needs. The relation between needs and technology is so fundamental that the US National Research Council defined the distinguishing characteristic of technology as its goal “to make modifications in the world to meet human needs”. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising emerging technologies of our time. Similar to other technologies, AI is expected “to meet [human] needs”. In this talk, which is based on one of our upcoming articles, we reflect on the relationship between needs and AI, and call for the realisation of needs-aware AI systems. We argue that re-thinking needs for, through, and by AI can be a very useful means towards the development of realistic approaches for Sustainable, Human-centric, Accountable, Lawful, and Ethical (HALE) AI systems. We discuss some of the most critical gaps, barriers, enablers, and drivers of co-creating future AI-based socio-technical systems in which [human] needs are well considered and met. Finally, we provide an overview of potential threats and HALE considerations that should be carefully taken into account, and call for joint, immediate, and interdisciplinary efforts and collaborations.

Tracking, Profiling and the GDPR | Friday 17.12.2021, 12:00 — 13:00 CET| Sustainable Computing Lecture Series
by Soheil Human 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

Dear colleagues, We are delighted to invite you to our next Sustainable Computing Lecture: Title: Tracking, Profiling and the GDPR Speaker: Martin Degeling (Ruhr University Bochum) Friday 17.12.2021, 12:00 — 13:00 CET Short bio: Martin Degeling is a post-doctoral researcher at Ruhr University Bochum. He finished his PhD in 2016 and worked at Carnegie Mellon University before returning to Bochum in 2018. Is research on online privacy is based on empirical methods to measure the personal data information flows and encompasses studies on all ends of these social-technical systems from end-users to developers and privacy experts. Abstract: Informational privacy has become a primary concern for societies in the digital age. While we, as users, appreciate new ways to communicate and express ourselves, there are drawbacks of personal information being shared and used in constantly changing forms. The goal of many legal regulations, including the GDPR, is to support informational self-determination – the idea that individuals should understand who knows what about them. For a long time, computer science has translated this idea into technical measures of confidentiality, control and transparency of the data to be released. But instead of following privacy- and security-by-design principles websites nowadays try to trick users into accepting insecure and privacy invasive scripts. Overwhelmed by too many choices or left with none users accept practices that they do not approve. Therefore, it is necessary to think beyond the notice and choice model and develop technical means that support privacy and security that take the complexity of the socio-technical context of users as well as developers into account. In this talk, I will present my research results based on large-scale website scans as well as studies with users and developers showing that the notice and choice model is often contradictory to the goal of protecting privacy and that ideas of the GDPR have not yet led to the expected improvements. I will demonstrate how the focus on increasingly complex technical consent solutions makes it harder to control personal information and how companies at the heart of surveillance capitalism benefit from rules supposed to strengthen privacy. Novel approaches to usable privacy and security need to reconsider privacy as contextual to develop transparency and intervening control option in the data life cycle beyond the disclosure state. To foster the adoption of these technologies future research needs to also focus on the development processes and understand developers as users of privacy enhancing technologies.

Fwd: [OTF-Talk] [New Report] The Limits to Digital Consent
by Stephen Farrell 26 Oct '21

26 Oct '21

FYI, an (I guess?) alternative viewpoint. I've no current position myself on this fwiw but no harm to be aware. Cheers, S. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [OTF-Talk] [New Report] The Limits to Digital Consent Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2021 09:23:21 -0400 From: Georgia Bullen <georgia(a)simplysecure.org> To: Communications <communications(a)simplysecure.org>, Cade <cade(a)newdesigncongress.org> Hello! *tldr:* New Report <https://simsec.cc/digiconsent>! Please retweet <https://twitter.com/simplysecureorg/status/1452609241542537222?s=20>. Last year, Simply Secure and New Design Congress set out to understand the risks of ethical consent and data collection for underrepresented communities in complex data systems. We’re proud to publish and share our findings with you in <https://simplysecure.org/resources/The_Limits_to_Digital_Consent_FINAL_Oct2…> our report — *The Limits to Digital Consent: Understanding the risks of ethical consent and data collection for underrepresented communities. <https://simsec.cc/digiconsent>* Six key findings emerged from our analysis: 1. The consent model for tech is outdated. 2. Local-first data storage is not inherently safer for people. 3. Data creation, including the potential for data creation, is silencing. 4. Everyone — not just members of underrepresented communities — is at risk. 5. Ethical platform designers must consider themselves as the potential bad actor. 6. People are overwhelmed by both the potential for harm and the indifference of decision-makers. We see how data accumulation has great power over a person’s agency, their relationships, and the communities within which they operate -- and the associated harms reach almost every human being. Practitioners must therefore examine the systemic shortcomings of digital consent and commit to an ongoing iteration of consent and data governance within platforms. Platform designers and policymakers can no longer assume that collection is safe -- and they must work together to design systems accordingly.

A Quest for Platform Accountability | Johanne Kübler | October 29, 2021 at 12:00 | Sustainable Computing Lecture Series
by Soheil Human 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

Dear all, We are delighted to invite you to our next Sustainable Computing Lecture: Title: Après nous, le déluge: A Quest for Platform Accountability Speaker: Johanne Kübler Abstract: Large online platform’s influence and ubiquity are increasingly questioned. Recently Whistleblower Frances Haugen told the US Congress how Facebook harms children, sows division and undermines democracy in pursuit of growth and profit. Independent research has backed up these claims, for example, when a study I co-authored found that there were significant amounts of problematic election-related content both on Facebook and Twitter during the run-up to the German federal elections. So what can be done about it? In my talk I will briefly discuss evidence of harm done by social media to then examine possible solutions. How does the proposed Digital Services Act at EU-level increase accountability of large online platforms? How could it be improved? Biography: Johanne Kübler is a researcher with expertise on digital politics, online activism, technology policy and human rights. Her current projects concentrate on content governance and accountability of social media platforms. She holds a PhD in Political and Social Sciences from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy and a Master degree in Comparative Politics from Sciences Po Paris. Her previous work experience includes positions in academia, academic consultancy and in the non-governmental sector with a focus on human rights.
