• Title: Justice in interaction design: preventing manipulation in interfaces
• Authors: Lorena Sanchez Chamorro, Kerstin Bongard-Blanchy and Vincent Koenig
• Abstract summary: Designers incorporate values in the design process that raise risks for vulnerable groups. Persuading in user interfaces can quickly turn into manipulation and become potentially harmful for those groups in the realm of intellectual disabilities, class, or health. Here we explain how it can be used proactively to inform designers' decisions when it comes to evaluating justice in their designs preventing the risk of manipulation.

• Abstract: Designers incorporate values in the design process that raise risks for vulnerable groups. Persuasion in user interfaces can quickly turn into manipulation and become potentially harmful for those groups in the realm of intellectual disabilities, class, or health, requiring proactive responsibility approaches in design. Here we introduce the Capability Sensitive Design Approach and explain how it can be used proactively to inform designers' decisions when it comes to evaluating justice in their designs preventing the risk of manipulation.

  AI agents are increasingly being deployed to automate tasks, often based on ambiguous and underspecified user instructions. Making unwarranted assumptions and failing to ask clarifying questions can lead to suboptimal outcomes. We study the ability of LLM agents to handle ambiguous instructions in interactive code generation settings by evaluating proprietary and open-weight models on their performance.

We develop a risk-driven approach to designing perception systems that accounts for the effect of perceptual errors on the performance of the fully-integrated, closed-loop system. We evaluate our techniques on a realistic vision-based aircraft detect and avoid application and show that risk-driven design reduces collision risk by 37% over a baseline system.
