Focus on the Experts: Co-designing an Augmented Reality Eye-Gaze Tracking System with Surgical Trainees to Improve Endoscopic Instruction

The current apprenticeship model for surgical training requires a high level of supervision, which does not scale well to meet the growing need for more surgeons. Many endoscopic procedures are directly taught in the operating room (OR) while the attending surgeon and trainee operate on patients. The need to prioritize patient care limits the trainees' opportunities to experiment and receive feedback on their performance. Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to increase efficiency in endoscopic surgical training, but additional research is critical to understanding the needs of surgical trainees to inform the design of AR training systems. Therefore, we worked with 18 surgical trainees to understand the strengths, limitations, and unmet needs of their current training environment and to co-design an AR eye-gaze tracking system based on their preferences. Trainees emphasized the need to practice the 2D to 3D mapping needed to properly familiarize oneself with the anatomy of patients to prepare for real surgery. The trainees felt that an AR-based eye gaze tracking system would be a useful supplemental training method that would improve their learning in OR cases without detracting from patient care. To tailor the AR system to their needs, they co-designed features to improve their ability to track the attending surgeon's eye gaze and to provide a real-time, interactive system. Our results are valuable in shaping the endoscopic training modules by generating user-informed guidelines to design future collaborative AR-based eye-gaze tracking systems.

Towards Resilience and Autonomy-based Approaches for Adolescents Online Safety

In this position paper, we discuss the paradigm shift that has emerged in the literature, suggesting to move away from restrictive and authoritarian parental mediation approaches to move toward resilient-based and privacy-preserving solutions to promote adolescents' online safety. We highlight the limitations of restrictive mediation strategies, which often induce a trade-off between teens' privacy and online safety, and call for more teen-centric frameworks that can empower teens to self-regulate while using the technology in meaningful ways. We also present an overview of empirical studies that conceptualized and examined resilience-based approaches to promoting the digital well-being of teens in a way to empower teens to be more resilient.

Teen Talk: The Good, the Bad, and the Neutral of Adolescent Social Media Use

The debate on whether social media has a net positive or negative effect on youth is ongoing. Therefore, we conducted a thematic analysis on 2,061 posts made by 1,038 adolescents aged 15-17 on an online peer-support platform to investigate the ways in which these teens discussed popular social media platforms in their posts and to identify differences in their experiences across platforms. Our findings revealed four main emergent themes for the ways in which social media was discussed: 1) Sharing negative experiences or outcomes of social media use (58%, n = 1,095), 2) Attempts to connect with others (45%, n = 922), 3) Highlighting the positive side of social media use (20%, n = 409), and 4) Seeking information (20%, n = 491). Overall, while sharing about negative experiences was more prominent, teens also discussed balanced perspectives of connection-seeking, positive experiences, and information support on social media that should not be discounted. Moreover, we found statistical significance for how these experiences differed across social media platforms. For instance, teens were most likely to seek romantic relationships on Snapchat and self-promote on YouTube. Meanwhile, Instagram was mentioned most frequently for body shaming, and Facebook was the most commonly discussed platform for privacy violations (mostly from parents). The key takeaway from our study is that the benefits and drawbacks of teens' social media usage can co-exist and net effects (positive or negative) can vary across different teens across various contexts. As such, we advocate for mitigating the negative experiences and outcomes of social media use as voiced by teens, to improve, rather than limit or restrict, their overall social media experience. We do this by taking an affordance perspective that aims to promote the digital well-being and online safety of youth "by design."

Leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to Support Collaborative Human-AI Online Risk Data Annotation

In this position paper, we discuss the potential for leveraging LLMs as interactive research tools to facilitate collaboration between human coders and AI to effectively annotate online risk data at scale. Collaborative human-AI labeling is a promising approach to annotating large-scale and complex data for various tasks. Yet, tools and methods to support effective human-AI collaboration for data annotation are under-studied. This gap is pertinent because co-labeling tasks need to support a two-way interactive discussion that can add nuance and context, particularly in the context of online risk, which is highly subjective and contextualized. Therefore, we provide some of the early benefits and challenges of using LLMs-based tools for risk annotation and suggest future directions for the HCI research community to leverage LLMs as research tools to facilitate human-AI collaboration in contextualized online data annotation. Our research interests align very well with the purposes of the LLMs as Research Tools workshop to identify ongoing applications and challenges of using LLMs to work with data in HCI research. We anticipate learning valuable insights from organizers and participants into how LLMs can help reshape the HCI community's methods for working with data.

Toward Safe Evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Conversational Agents to Support Adolescent Mental and Sexual Health Knowledge Discovery

Following the recent release of various Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Conversation Agents (CAs), adolescents are increasingly using CAs for interactive knowledge discovery on sensitive topics, including mental and sexual health topics. Exploring such sensitive topics through online search has been an essential part of adolescent development, and CAs can support their knowledge discovery on such topics through human-like dialogues. Yet, unintended risks have been documented with adolescents' interactions with AI-based CAs, such as being exposed to inappropriate content, false information, and/or being given advice that is detrimental to their mental and physical well-being (e.g., to self-harm). In this position paper, we discuss the current landscape and opportunities for CAs to support adolescents' mental and sexual health knowledge discovery. We also discuss some of the challenges related to ensuring the safety of adolescents when interacting with CAs regarding sexual and mental health topics. We call for a discourse on how to set guardrails for the safe evolution of AI-based CAs for adolescents.
