We are in the process of curating a list of this year’s publications — including links to social media, lab websites, and supplemental material. Currently, we have 68 full papers, 23 LBWs, three Journal papers, one alt.chi paper, two SIG, two Case Studies, one Interactivity, one Student Game Competition, and we lead three workshops. One paper received a best paper award and 13 papers received an honorable mention.
Disclaimer: This list is not complete yet; the DOIs might not be working yet.

abstract = {Dark patterns and deceptive designs (DPs) refer to user interfaces (UIs) that trick people into interactions that benefit the service providers. Today, academic research, legal action, and media coverage has raised awareness among a diversity of stakeholders worldwide. Yet, the lens has focused on Western and English contexts. We propose a Special Interest Group (SIG) that centres on cross-cultural and interdisciplinary engagement. The organizing team, who hail from a plurality of nations and disciplines, will spark discussion by sharing their knowledge—findings, frameworks, methods, and tools—and culturally-sensitive perspectives on deception in modern digital products and services. Attendees will participate in a small group drawing activity, whereby culturally-specific DPs and disciplinary perspectives can be surfaced and communicated without reliance on a specific language or cultural frame. This SIG is expected to draw in a diversity of designers, researchers, security experts, and legal scholars concerned about ethical design practice.},

abstract = {This Special Interest Group (SIG) focuses on re-imagining Human-AI collaboration in the age of off-the-shelf generative AI technologies reflecting the growing integration of AI into daily life and societal systems. The SIG addresses human-AI collaboration at three levels: interaction, collaboration, and symbiosis. Key topics include designing systems that adapt to human contexts, re-imagining collaboration interfaces, fostering inclusive urban environments, and balancing technological governance with equitable access. We also pose the question: what is the next big thing after GenAI to enhance collective intelligence, and societal equity and empower people? Our goal here is to build a sustainable, specialized, and interdisciplinary community beyond the scope of the SIG that focuses on creating a sustainable, equitable global impact through augmenting human capabilities with efficient, safe, and trustworthy collaborations with AI systems.},
