LLMs for health: Perceived benefits, risks, intention to use AI chatbots, and willingness to self-disclose across sensitive health topics

AI chatbots are increasingly used for answering health-related questions. This study examines the role of topic type discussed with an AI chatbot and individual characteristics on perceived benefits and risks, intention to use an AI chatbot, and willingness to self-disclose health information. We conducted an online experiment with a 2 (topic type: physical versus psychological, between-subjects) x 2 (topic sensitivity: low versus high, within-subjects) mixed design among a Dutch representative sample (N = 1,388). Results showed that perceived benefits were positively associated with intention and willingness to self-disclose, while perceived risks were negatively associated. Moreover, participants reported higher usage intentions for low-sensitive topics compared to high-sensitive topics. Furthermore, perceptions, intention, and willingness to self-disclose varied by individual characteristics. Overall, our findings suggest that intentions to use AI chatbots and self-disclosure of health-related information are primarily related to perceived benefits and risks and to personal characteristics rather than to topic type.

Facebook Data Shield: Increasing Awareness and Control over Data used by Newsfeed-Generating Algorithms

Social media platforms newsfeeds are generated by AI algorithms, which select and order posts based on user data. However, users are often unaware of what data is collected and employed for this aim, neither can they control it. To open up discussions on what data users are willing to feed the newsfeed algorithm with, we created the Facebook Data Shield, a human-size interactive installation where users can see and control what type of data is collected. By pressing buttons, data categories and/or data variables can be (de)activated. An outer rim with lights gives feedback to users about the level of personalization of the resulting newsfeed. We performed a preliminary study to get insights into what data users are willing to share, their preferred level of control, and the effect of such an installation on users' awareness. Based on our findings, we discuss implications for design and future work.

Wizard of Errors: Introducing and Evaluating Machine Learning Errors in Wizard of Oz Studies

When designing Machine Learning (ML) enabled solutions, designers often need to simulate ML behavior through the Wizard of Oz (WoZ) approach to test the user experience before the ML model is available. Although reproducing ML errors is essential for having a good representation, they are rarely considered. We introduce Wizard of Errors (WoE), a tool for conducting WoZ studies on ML-enabled solutions that allows simulating ML errors during user experience assessment. We explored how this system can be used to simulate the behavior of a computer vision model. We tested WoE with design students to determine the importance of considering ML errors in design, the relevance of using descriptive error types instead of confusion matrix, and the suitability of manual error control in WoZ studies. Our work identifies several challenges, which prevent realistic error representation by designers in such studies. We discuss the implications of these findings for design.
