Trusted CI Webinar: Conducting Responsible Human-Centered AI Research, Monday May 19th @ 10am Central
Clemson University's Bart Knijnenburg is presenting the talk, Conducting Responsible Human-Centered AI Research, on Monday May 19th at
10am, Central time.
With the recent rise of LLMs, it becomes increasingly possible (and necessary) to conduct human-subjects studies with AI tools. However, integrating AI in human-subjects research raises concerns about participant privacy, safety, and the confidentiality of
research data. These concerns are exacerbated by the fact that many AI researchers have limited experience with human-subjects research, and most ethics review boards (e.g. IRBs) have little knowledge about AI.
In this talk, I present findings from a series of investigations into human-centered AI research studies: our team systematically reviewed AI-related studies published at the ACM SigCHI conference, we interviewed researchers who conducted human-subjects studies
with LLMs, and we conducted a scenario-based study to unpack study participants' opinions about AI-based research.
We find that (1) many papers lack important details about basic study parameters, (2) researchers often fail to disclose the use of LLMs to research participants, and (3) participants are sensitive to study parameters like anonymization, data retention and
consent, but are unaware of the threats of third-party data sharing and of data leakage through model training. I will discuss these findings, and more, during the talk.
