Expecting (Targeted Ads)? Network Analysis of User Health Data Leakage in Fertility Tracking Apps

While human factors in the privacy of fertility tracking apps -- health trackers that record users' menstrual or pregnancy data -- has been the subject of extensive study, little attention has been paid to the technical aspects of apps' data handling practices. We conduct a network-based measurement study of a corpus of 20 Android fertility tracking apps from the Google Play Store, focusing on how user data is shared with third party advertising services. After systematizing app features, we conduct a series of standardized user interactions across all apps in an environment that records TLS-stripped network traffic. In a subset of apps (n=5) we identify explicit leakage of user health data as well implicit leakage through highly targeted contextual advertising URL's. Equally importantly, we observe additional apps that use an ad-based monetization model without apparent leakage of user data, as well as several apps the interact only minimally with ad services. These findings provide technical grounding for widespread user concerns, but also underscore the importance of consumer choice in the privacy implications of app-based fertility tracking.

Designing for Understanding: How Interface-Level Consent Designs Shape Attention and Understanding in Privacy Disclosures

Privacy policies are intended to support informed consent, yet users rarely read them fully. This study examines how common privacy policy interface structures influence attention allocation, reading behavior, and perceived experience. Using eye-tracking and post-task surveys, we compared three interface designs: continuous scrolling text, collapsible sections, and collapsible sections with brief previews. Results show that interface structure systematically shaped how users allocated attention and navigated policy content, but did not uniformly improve comprehension. Guided layouts supported more efficient and coherent reading patterns, whereas more interactive designs elicited higher perceived engagement and satisfaction. Importantly, comprehension was closely linked to sustained attention rather than interface type alone. These findings highlight the limits of interface-centered consent approaches and suggest that effective consent design must account for attention dynamics and selective engagement, rather than assuming that improved layout alone ensures understanding.

Dark and Bright Side of Participatory Red-Teaming with Targets of Stereotyping for Eliciting Harmful Behaviors from Large Language Models

Red-teaming, where adversarial prompts are crafted to expose harmful behaviors and assess risks, offers a dynamic approach to surfacing underlying stereotypical bias in large language models. Because such subtle harms are best recognized by those with lived experience, involving targets of stereotyping as red-teamers is essential. However, critical challenges remain in leveraging their lived experience for red-teaming while safeguarding psychological well-being. We conducted an empirical study of participatory red-teaming with 20 individuals stigmatized by stereotypes against nonprestigious college graduates in South Korea. Through mixed methods analysis, we found participants transformed experienced discrimination into strategic expertise for identifying biases, while facing psychological costs such as stress and negative reflections on group identity. Notably, red-team participation enhanced their sense of agency and empowerment through their role as guardians of the AI ecosystem. We discuss implications for designing participatory red-teaming that prioritizes both the ethical treatment and empowerment of stigmatized groups.

AssurAI: Experience with Constructing Korean Socio-cultural Datasets to Discover Potential Risks of Generative AI

The rapid evolution of generative AI necessitates robust safety evaluations. However, current safety datasets are predominantly English-centric, failing to capture specific risks in non-English, socio-cultural contexts such as Korean, and are often limited to the text modality. To address this gap, we introduce AssurAI, a new quality-controlled Korean multimodal dataset for evaluating the safety of generative AI. First, we define a taxonomy of 35 distinct AI risk factors, adapted from established frameworks by a multidisciplinary expert group to cover both universal harms and relevance to the Korean socio-cultural context. Second, leveraging this taxonomy, we construct and release AssurAI, a large-scale Korean multimodal dataset comprising 11,480 instances across text, image, video, and audio. Third, we apply the rigorous quality control process used to ensure data integrity, featuring a two-phase construction (i.e., expert-led seeding and crowdsourced scaling), triple independent annotation, and an iterative expert red-teaming loop. Our pilot study validates AssurAI's effectiveness in assessing the safety of recent LLMs. We release AssurAI to the public to facilitate the development of safer and more reliable generative AI systems for the Korean community.

Stealth UAV through Coanda Effect

This paper uses Coanda Effect to reduce motors, the source of noise, and finds low noise materials with sufficient lift force so that it can achieve acoustical stealth UAVs.According to NASA research [1], the noise of UAVs is better heard to people. But there must be some moments when we need to operate the drones quietly, so how can we reduce the noise? In previous research, there have also been steady attempts to produce UAVs using Coanda Effect, but have never tried to achieve Acoustic Stealth through Coanda UAVs. But Coanda Effect uses only one motor and is structurally quiet. So we tried to find quiet methods (materials, structures) while at the same time having sufficient stimulus through the Coanda Effect. Verification went through experiments. The control group used the most common type of Quadrone, and determine if the hypothesis is correct by testing various structures and materials under the same conditions, and measuring noise. UAVs using Coanda Effect are not of any shape or structure that is not changeable, and internal space is also empty. That's why the Coanda Effect UAV we present can be improved through follow-up research. That's why the Coanda Effect UAV could open up a new frontier for the Stealth UAVs.
