• Title: The Impact of Privacy and Security Attitudes and Concerns of Travellers on Their Willingness to Use Mobility-as-a-Service Systems
• Authors: Maria Sophia Heering, Haiyue Yuan, Shujun Li
• Abstract summary: This paper reports results from an online survey on the impact of travellers' privacy and security attitudes and concerns on their willingness to use MaaS systems. Neither attitudes nor concerns of participants over the privacy and security of personal data would significantly impact their decisions to use MaaS systems. Having been a victim of improper invasion of privacy did not appear to affect individuals' intentions to use MaaS systems.

• Abstract: This paper reports results from an online survey on the impact of travellers' privacy and security attitudes and concerns on their willingness to use mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) systems. This study is part of a larger project that aims at investigating barriers to potential MaaS uptake. The online survey was designed to cover data privacy and security attitudes and concerns as well as a variety of socio-psychological and socio-demographic variables associated with travellers' intentions to use MaaS systems. The study involved $n=320$ UK participants recruited via the Prolific survey platform. Overall, correlation analysis and a multiple regression model indicated that, neither attitudes nor concerns of participants over the privacy and security of personal data would significantly impact their decisions to use MaaS systems, which was an unexpected result, however, their trust in (commercial and governmental) websites would. Another surprising result is that, having been a victim of improper invasion of privacy did not appear to affect individuals' intentions to use MaaS systems, whereas frequency with which one heard about misuse of personal data did. Implications of the results and future directions are also discussed, e.g., MaaS providers are encouraged to work on improving the trustworthiness of their corporate image.

  Recently, a new type of privacy attack, the model inversion attacks (MIAs), aims to extract sensitive features of private data for training. Despite the significance, there is a lack of systematic studies that provide a comprehensive overview and deeper insights into MIAs. This survey aims to summarize up-to-date MIA methods in both attacks and defenses.

  We introduce a framework for generating and evaluating large language model (LLM) based misinformation interventions. We present (1) an experiment with a simulated social media environment to measure effectiveness of misinformation interventions, and (2) a second experiment with personalized explanations tailored to the demographics and beliefs of users. Our findings confirm that LLM-based interventions are highly effective at correcting user behavior.

  This paper characterizes the impact of Differential Privacy on bias and unfairness in the context of releasing information about networks. We consider a network release problem where the network structure is known to all, but the weights on edges must be released privately. Our work provides theoretical foundations and empirical evidence into the bias and unfairness arising due to privacy in these networked decision problems.
