From Assistance to Autonomy -- A Researcher Study on the Potential of AI Support for Qualitative Data Analysis

The advent of AI technologies, such as Large Language Models, has introduced new possibilities for Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA), offering both opportunities and challenges. To help navigate the responsible integration of AI into QDA, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers experienced in QDA. While our participants were open to AI support in their QDA workflows, they expressed concerns about data privacy, autonomy, and the quality of AI outputs. In response, we developed a framework that spans from minimal to high AI involvement, providing tangible scenarios for integrating AI into QDA practices while addressing researchers' needs and concerns. Aligned with real-life QDA workflows, we identify potential for AI tools in areas such as data pre-processing, researcher onboarding, or conflict mediation. Our framework aims to provoke further discussion on the development of AI-supported QDA and to help establish community standards for responsible Human-AI collaboration.

Decoding Complexity: Exploring Human-AI Concordance in Qualitative Coding

Qualitative data analysis provides insight into the underlying perceptions and experiences within unstructured data. However, the time-consuming nature of the coding process, especially for larger datasets, calls for innovative approaches, such as the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs). This short paper presents initial findings from a study investigating the integration of LLMs for coding tasks of varying complexity in a real-world dataset. Our results highlight the challenges inherent in coding with extensive codebooks and contexts, both for human coders and LLMs, and suggest that the integration of LLMs into the coding process requires a task-by-task evaluation. We examine factors influencing the complexity of coding tasks and initiate a discussion on the usefulness and limitations of incorporating LLMs in qualitative research.

Digital Security -- A Question of Perspective. A Large-Scale Telephone Survey with Four At-Risk User Groups

This paper investigates the digital security experiences of four at-risk user groups in Germany, including older adults (70+), teenagers (14-17), people with migration backgrounds, and people with low formal education. Using computer-assisted telephone interviews, we sampled 250 participants per group, representative of region, gender, and partly age distributions. We examine their device usage, concerns, prior negative incidents, perceptions of potential attackers, and information sources. Our study provides the first quantitative and nationally representative insights into the digital security experiences of these four at-risk groups in Germany. Our findings show that participants with migration backgrounds used the most devices, sought more security information, and reported more experiences with cybercrime incidents than other groups. Older adults used the fewest devices and were least affected by cybercrimes. All groups relied on friends and family and online news as their primary sources of security information, with little concern about their social circles being potential attackers. We highlight the nuanced differences between the four at-risk groups and compare them to the broader German population when possible. We conclude by presenting recommendations for education, policy, and future research aimed at addressing the digital security needs of these at-risk user groups.
