Individuals' concerns about data privacy and AI safety are highly contextualized and extend beyond sensitive patterns. Addressing these issues requires reasoning about the context to identify and mitigate potential risks. Though researchers…
In today's dynamic ICT environments, the ability to control users' access to resources becomes ever important. On the one hand, it should adapt to the users' changing needs; on the other hand, it should not be compromised. Therefore, it is…
Contextual Integrity (CI) defines privacy not merely as keeping information hidden, but as governing information flows according to the norms of a given context. As large language models are increasingly deployed as personal agents handling…
Existing studies on semantic parsing focus primarily on mapping a natural-language utterance to a corresponding logical form in one turn. However, because natural language can contain a great deal of ambiguity and variability, this is a…
In this paper, we develop a user-centric privacy framework for quantitatively assessing the exposure of personal information in open settings. Our formalization addresses key-challenges posed by such open settings, such as the unstructured…
The multicontextual nature of immersive VR makes it difficult to ensure contextual integrity of VR-generated information flows using existing privacy design and policy mechanisms. In this position paper, we call on the HCI community to do…
The iterative consensus problem requires a set of processes or agents with different initial values, to interact and update their states to eventually converge to a common value. Protocols solving iterative consensus serve as building…
The proliferation of AI-generated text has intensified the need for reliable authorship verification, yet current output-based methods are increasingly unreliable. We observe that the ordinary typing interface captures rich cognitive…
The technical literature about data privacy largely consists of two complementary approaches: formal definitions of conditions sufficient for privacy preservation and attacks that demonstrate privacy breaches. Differential privacy is an…
As AI agents increasingly operate in complex environments, ensuring reliable, context-aware privacy is critical for regulatory compliance. Traditional access controls are insufficient because privacy risks often arise after access is…
The technical progression of artificial intelligence (AI) research has been built on breakthroughs in fields such as computer science, statistics, and mathematics. However, in the past decade AI researchers have increasingly looked to the…
Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed in personalized tasks involving sensitive, context-dependent information, where privacy violations may arise in agents' action due to the implicitness of contextual privacy.…
Prompt injection is the most critical vulnerability in deployed AI agents. Despite recent progress, we show that the prevailing defense paradigm (data-instruction separation) both fails to detect attacks that operate through contextual…
When users submit queries to Large Language Models (LLMs), their prompts can often contain sensitive data, forcing a difficult choice: Send the query to a powerful proprietary LLM providers to achieving state-of-the-art performance and risk…
Agentic systems are increasingly acting on users' behalf, accessing calendars, email, and personal files to complete everyday tasks. Privacy evaluation for these systems has focused on the input and output boundaries, but each task involves…
Cloud computing enables users to process and store data remotely on high-performance computers and servers by sharing data over the Internet. However, transferring data to clouds causes unavoidable privacy concerns. Here, we present a…
The World Wide Web, a ubiquitous source of information, serves as a primary resource for countless individuals, amassing a vast amount of data from global internet users. However, this online data, when scraped, indexed, and utilized for…
LLM agents increasingly act on users' personal information, yet existing privacy defenses remain limited in both design and adaptability. Most prior approaches rely on static or passive defenses, such as prompting and guarding. These…
Explainable systems expose information about why certain observed effects are happening to the agents interacting with them. We argue that this constitutes a positive flow of information that needs to be specified, verified, and balanced…
While the study of language as typed on smartphones offers valuable insights, existing data collection methods often fall short in providing contextual information and ensuring user privacy. We present a privacy-respectful approach -…
