AI systems powered by large language models can act as capable assistants for writing and editing. In these tasks, the AI system acts as a co-creative partner, making novel contributions to an artifact-under-creation alongside its human…

Automated code review (ACR) bots are increasingly used in industrial software development to assist developers during pull request (PR) review. As adoption grows, a key challenge is how to evaluate the usefulness of bot-generated comments…

Autonomous AI agents are transforming software development and redefining how developers collaborate with AI. Prior research shows that the adoption and use of AI-powered tools differ between core and peripheral developers. However, it…

Although recent developments in generative AI have greatly enhanced the capabilities of conversational agents such as Google's Gemini (formerly Bard) or OpenAI's ChatGPT, it's unclear whether the usage of these agents aids users across…

Background. Refactoring is a critical task in software maintenance and is generally performed to enforce the best design and implementation practices or to cope with design defects. Several studies attempted to detect refactoring activities…

This study investigated how wait time influences trust in and reliance on a robot. Experiment 1 was conducted as an online experiment manipulating the wait time for the task partner's action from 1 to 20 seconds and the anthropomorphism of…

A growing suite of research illustrates the negative impact of social media bots in amplifying harmful information with widespread social implications. Social bot detection algorithms have been developed to help identify these bot agents…

A race is underway to embed advanced AI capabilities into products. These product copilots enable users to ask questions in natural language and receive relevant responses that are specific to the user's context. In fact, virtually every…

With the rapid advancement of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, AVs are progressively seen as interactive agents with some level of autonomy, as well as some context-dependent social features. This introduces new challenges and questions,…

Following the recent release of AI assistants, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, the software industry quickly utilized these tools for software development tasks, e.g., generating code or consulting AI for advice. While recent…

When AI entered the workplace, many believed it could reshape teamwork as profoundly as it boosted individual productivity. Would AI finally ease the longstanding challenges of team collaboration? Our findings suggested a more complicated…

In two experiments (total N=693) we explored whether people are willing to consider paintings made by AI-driven robots as art, and robots as artists. Across the two experiments, we manipulated three factors: (i) agent type (AI-driven robot…

Algorithms now permeate multiple aspects of human lives and multiple recent results have reported that these algorithms may have biases pertaining to gender, race, and other demographic characteristics. The metrics used to quantify such…

AI-powered software tools are widely used to assist software engineers. However, there is still a need to understand the productivity benefits of such tools for software engineers. In addition to short-term benefits, there is a question of…

The arrival of AI coding assistants in educational settings presents a paradigm shift, introducing a "new kid in the classroom" for both students and instructors. Thus, understanding the perceptions of these key actors about this new…

Robots capable of participating in complex social interactions have shown great potential in a variety of applications. As these robots grow more popular, it is essential to continuously evaluate the dynamics of the human-robot…

The Feynman learning technique is an active learning strategy that helps learners simplify complex information through student-led teaching and discussion. In this paper, we present the development and usability testing of the Feynman Bot,…

High-quality software products rely on both well-written source code and timely detection and thorough reporting of bugs. However, some programmers view bug reports as negative assessments of their work, leading them to withhold reporting…

Can a robot be a personal dating coach? Even with the increasing amount of conversational data on the internet, the implementation of conversational robots remains a challenge. In particular, a detailed and professional counseling log is…

For nearly two decades, CAPTCHAs have been widely used as a means of protection against bots. Throughout the years, as their use grew, techniques to defeat or bypass CAPTCHAs have continued to improve. Meanwhile, CAPTCHAs have also evolved…
