Many assumptions that underpin human concepts of identity do not hold for machine minds that can be copied, edited, or simulated. We argue that there exist many different coherent identity boundaries (e.g.\ instance, model, persona), and…
A diverse representation of different demographic groups in AI training data sets is important in ensuring that the models will work for a large range of users. To this end, recent efforts in AI fairness and inclusion have advocated for…
Public speaking is an essential skill in everyone's professional or academic career. Nevertheless, honing this skill is often tricky because training in front of a mirror does not give feedback or inspire the same anxiety as present-ing in…
Public speaking anxiety affects many individuals, yet opportunities for real-world practice remain limited. This study explores how augmented reality (AR) can provide an accessible training environment for public speaking. Drawing from…
Augmented reality and other photo editing filters are popular methods used to modify faces online. Considering the important role of facial perception in communication, how do we perceive this increasing number of modified faces? In this…
People with Blind Visual Impairments (BVI) face unique challenges when sharing images, as these may accidentally contain sensitive or inappropriate content. In many instances, they are unaware of the potential risks associated with sharing…
