In the current era of great-power competition and the diffusion of emerging disruptive technologies on the battlefield, NATO's approach to coordinating the development, adoption, and standardization of new technologies is changing from its…

As computing education expands beyond traditional programming into operational domains such as systems administration and command-line environments, existing pedagogical frameworks struggle to capture a dimension that is critical in these…

Emotional bonds between humans and AI companions are growing, and the question of whether a person may marry an AI system will soon move from speculative fiction into law. This chapter examines whether the autonomy-centered logic that has…

Research on artificial intelligence (AI) in the public sector often treats "AI" as a single category, neglecting technical distinctions between different AI systems. But these distinctions affect how different systems impact core public…

Flaw reporting for deployed AI systems is fundamental to identifying system failures and improving AI safety. Yet the AI reporting ecosystem is fragmented: researchers who identify flaws often do not know what or where to report, and groups…

Since the introduction of the GDPR in 2018, cookie banners have become the primary mechanism for users to express preferences on online tracking and advertising. Consequently, their visual design and the options they present significantly…

Agentic artificial intelligence is increasingly deployed not as a single assistant but as a collective of planners, solvers, reviewers, memory managers, tool users, and orchestrators. These systems are entering organisational workflows…

Recent studies argue that LLMs can predict human stereotypical judgments. Yet whether LLMs emulate the cognitive processes underlying human stereotypes, or merely retrieve learned associations to solve prediction tasks, remains unclear.…

Student access to Large Language Models (LLMs) is reshaping learning behaviors; at the same time students are entering the workforce where effective LLM use is becoming an expected skill. In this Experience Report we share our DURA…

Community Notes, a bridging-based crowd-sourced fact-checking system, has emerged as a new mechanism for moderating misleading information on social media and has been adopted by major platforms including X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads,…

As large language models (LLMs) become common in computing courses, we need to understand how the social setting shapes how students use them. This paper reports findings from a semester-long study of 96 undergraduate students who completed…

Using 380 trillion tokens of realized AI consumption across more than four hundred large language models from the licensed proprietary OpenRouter dataset covering approximately 2 percent of current global monthly AI token consumption, we…

Prompt-based programming, a new modality enabled by large language models (LLMs), allows users to express computational goals through natural language rather than traditional code. While this approach lowers barriers to entry, especially…

Current large language models are extraordinary statistical engines. They compress vast amounts of text into useful patterns and can explain science, write code, imitate reasoning, and participate in philosophical conversation. Yet pattern…

When AI tools can easily complete programming assignments, students face a motivational question: why invest effort in completing them independently? While prior work has examined instructor policies and usage patterns, we focus on how…

From housing allocation for households experiencing homelessness to triage in emergency departments, LLMs are increasingly being considered as judges of consequential decisions that require ranking people for scarce resources. Ranking large…

Consumer confidence is typically modeled as a persistent macroeconomic index, yet its movements arise from households that interpret economic information through heterogeneous constraints, exposures, prior beliefs, and attention. We…

Body image concerns among boys and young men are increasingly oriented toward muscularity, with social media serving as a central context for communicating and evaluating these ideals. While prior research has focused on the thin-ideal,…

Liability insurance for AI-powered legal services offers a promising solution to two critical barriers in using AI to expand access to justice: mitigating catastrophic risk to individual users from inadequate advice and ensuring meaningful…

Generative AI tools (GenAI) are increasingly used by students during coursework, yet empirical understanding of how students engage with these systems in authentic learning contexts remains limited. Existing studies have largely relied on…
