• Title: The Effect of Civic Knowledge and Attitudes on CS Student Work Preferences
• Authors: Antti Knutas, Andrew Petersen
• Abstract summary: We investigate students' civic knowledge, attitude, or self-efficacy and their willingness to work on civic technologies. Early results indicate that these factors are related to a willingness to accept government work in technology but not non-profit work focused on civic technologies.

• Abstract: We present an investigation in the connection between computing students' civic knowledge, attitude, or self-efficacy and their willingness to work on civic technologies. Early results indicate that these factors are related to a willingness to accept government work in technology but not non-profit work focused on civic technologies.

  This study investigates the real-world impact of deploying Cognitive Assistants (CAs) in factories. Our results indicate that while CAs have the potential to significantly improve efficiency through knowledge sharing, they also introduce concerns around workplace surveillance. Our findings stress the importance of addressing privacy, knowledge contribution burdens, and tensions between factory operators and their managers.

  Explosive growth in big data technologies and artificial intelligence [AI] applications have led to increasing pervasiveness of information facets. Information facets, such as equivocality and veracity, can dominate and significantly influence human perceptions of information. We suggest that artificially intelligent technologies that can adapt information representations to overcome cognitive limitations are necessary.
