Session #28: Ottawa Civic Tech Data & Tech Citizenship
Session #28: Ottawa Civic Tech Data & Tech CitizenshipCommunication and Media Studies, Carleton University
Tracey P. Lauriault gave a presentation on data and technological citizenship. She discussed how data is shaped by social and technical factors and does not exist independently. She framed data in technical, ethical, political, spatial, and philosophical terms. She described two projects she is involved in regarding open smart cities and analyzing big data use in agriculture. She raised questions about the impacts of technologies like smart cities, IoT, and AI on cities and food security. She asked how civic engagement can occur in machine-driven environments and discussed the need for human-centered approaches to technology and issues of governance, ownership, and algorithms.E democracy project
E Democracy is platform to engage civilians, parliamentarians and technocrats. This is a community project to empower students, youth, common people and women. It is a scientific process to create deliberation.
Downscale for sustainability Downscale 2016 Anna Bon
The document proposes an alternative approach called "DownScaling the Web" to connect the unconnected through more sustainable and localized solutions. It argues that the current approach of using the internet backbone concentrated in large urban areas of developed countries is not accessible or affordable for many. DownScaling involves creating inexpensive, sustainable solutions and technologies adapted to local contexts, constraints, languages, and needs. It advocates for an iterative development process that involves context and needs assessments, working with local organizations, and building on existing workflows and expertise. The goal is to facilitate information sharing and communication for currently unconnected communities in a way that is community-based, contextualized, and sustainable.

Community Technology Centers (CTCs) have struggled with changing names and priorities but have also achieved victories in expanding access to technology. CTCs originated in the 1980s to provide equal computer access and now over 1,000 are united through the Community Technology Centers' Network. Major accomplishments include federal grants in the 1990s-2000s totaling over $150 million. However, CTCs now face challenges such as broadband deployment without training, social media risks, and changing technologies. The top priorities for CTCs are expanding broadband access combined with training, supporting legislation to fund community technology programs, and ensuring CTCs remain relevant in a changing digital landscape.
ODR and Peacebuilding
This document discusses online dispute resolution (ODR) and its potential role in peacebuilding efforts. It notes that ODR platforms initially focused on PC-based platforms for peace negotiations but now recognize the growing importance of mobile technologies. Key drivers of ODR include geo-location tools, social media, smartphones, and broadband access. However, challenges remain around privacy, adapting solutions to different cultural contexts, transitioning investments to mobile platforms, generating political will for conflict transformation, and prioritizing people and process over technology.

Intro ict4dtrack wissenbach
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are tools that can be used to connect people and share information, but require adoption by people to fulfill their potential for empowerment and development. ICTs can enable people to communicate, receive information, and facilitate education, but their impact depends on political, infrastructural, and cultural environments. When used for cross-media sharing, mapping, and open data, ICTs may empower communities and increase transparency.
Digital access
Digital access refers to full electronic participation in society through technology and educational resources online. It is an important issue because not everyone has equal access due to factors like economic challenges and technology costs. While some are more engaged with technology than others, digital access encompasses connectivity, obtaining information, and regaining access through gateways like the internet. Key related topics include infrastructure, education, censorship, identity, and the digital divide between those who can and cannot access online resources.
Role of e sources of information in formation of irc using ict - anil mishra
The document discusses how electronic sources of information and information and communication technologies (ICT) have transformed information resource centers (IRCs) by providing new ways to store, share, and access information. ICT allows for limitless access to information through search engines, e-publishing, e-documents like e-books and e-journals, databases, and networks. This has given IRCs new capabilities like being accessible 24/7 from anywhere through the internet. ICT provides advantages like speed, accuracy, transparency, and space savings over traditional paper-based information storage and sharing.

Mobile Governance And Accountability Mobileactive08
The document discusses the potential for using mobile technology to improve citizen participation and local democratic governance in developing countries. It raises questions about how mobile technologies could be used for participatory budgeting, public consultations, and democratic accountability. While some e-democracy initiatives have emerged in Latin America, barriers still exist around cultural acceptance of technologies and economic constraints. The document argues that mobile technologies may help address some of these challenges by making democratic applications more accessible and usable. It calls for collaboration between networks to research, develop, and test innovative mobile tools that can strengthen local governance and participation.
Digital divide
The document discusses the digital divide, which is the gap between individuals and societies with regards to their access to and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). It notes several types of digital divides, including socioeconomic divides, urban/rural divides, and international divides. It provides statistics on internet access and usage rates in various countries and populations to illustrate these divides. It discusses some of the barriers to access and initiatives being taken by governments and organizations to help bridge the digital divide, including improving infrastructure, increasing access points, developing skills, and ensuring relevant online content. The conclusion emphasizes that technology alone will not bridge the divide and that education is also needed to equip people with the ability to use technologies.

3) The goal is to seed skills, build local capacity, produce useful tools and prototypes, and ultimately establish self-sustaining open data ecosystems across Africa.
A Genealogy of an Open Data Assemblage
Tracey P. Lauriault (Programmable City team)
A genealogy of open data assemblages
Abstract: Evidence informed decision making, participatory public policy, government transparency and accountability, sustainable development, and data driven journalism were the initial drivers of making public data accessible. The access work of geomaticians, researchers, librarians, community developers and journalists has recently been recast as open data that includes a different set of actors. As open data matures as a practice, its principles, definitions and guidelines have been transformed into national performance indicators such as indexes, barometers, ratings and score cards; the private sector such as Gartner, McKinsey, and Deloitte are touting open data's innovation and business opportunities; while smart city initiatives offer tools and expertise to help government sense, monitor, measure and evaluate their cities. Open data today seems to have evolved far from its original ideals, even with civil society players such as Markets for Good, Sunlight Foundation, Open Knowledge Foundation, Code for America, and many others advocating for more social approaches. This talk proposes an assemblage approach to understanding open data and provides a genealogy of its development in different contexts and places.
Bio: Tracey P. Lauriault is a Programmable City Project Postdoctoral Researcher focussing on How are digital data generated and processed about cities and their citizens? She arrives from Canada where she was a researcher with the Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre, at Carleton University, where she investigated Data, Infrastructures and Geographical Imaginations, spatial data infrastructures, open data and the preservation of and access to research and geomatics data; legal and policy issues associated with geospatial, administrative and civil society data; and cybercartography. She is a a member of the international Research Data Alliance Legal (RDA) Interoperability Working Group, the Natural Resources Canada Roundtable on Geomatics Legal and Policy Interest Group. She is also actively engaged in public policy research as it pertains to open data and their related infrastructures.
Building Digital Citizenship
This document summarizes Gerard Goggin's presentation on building digital citizenship, with a focus on disability inclusion. Some key points:
- Digital citizenship involves more than just cyber safety and literacy, but full civic, political, social and cultural participation using digital technologies.
- Accessible technology is crucial to support the four areas of NSW's inclusion plan but is not mentioned in the current plan, indicating a need to "catch up".
- Both global forces and reliance on private markets threaten equitable access, so governments must play active roles in facilitating innovation and access.
- Disability perspectives can help reimagine universal and inclusive design of digital technologies and systems to meet diverse needs and promote digital rights.

The document discusses digital convergence in newspapers and how the University of Teesside is adapting to utilize multiple media platforms. It notes the benefits of centralized sub-editing to publish content across different media sources using a database solution. It also outlines developments like the electronic prospectus and digital publications, as well as the technologies employed including databases, middleware and content management systems to support digital convergence. However, it indicates there are still cultural and organizational challenges around digital transformation.

Ramification
The document discusses the digital divide, where unequal access to digital technologies exists between developed and developing countries as well as within countries. The digital divide can negatively impact social, knowledge, and human capital. To address this, the document proposes a government-led campaign called #ConnectingTheUnconnected that would provide centralized access to computers and free public WiFi, introduce e-government and e-learning initiatives, and support small businesses in e-trading, in order to promote digital inclusion and skills.
Digital divide
The document discusses how the digital divide impacts social capital, human capital, and knowledge capital. It states that the digital divide reduces access to information and social connections online, negatively impacting social capital. It also claims that a lack of access to digital resources prevents some groups from gaining important skills, reducing their human capital. Finally, it suggests that investing in internet access, implementing digital laws, exposing students to technology, and using technology in schools and businesses can help address issues caused by the digital divide.
The Informational Economy: Knowledge and Cyberspace
People started exploring the idea that technology would revolutionize society in dramatic ways. While views differed on details, many agreed that combining computing and telecommunications marked the beginning of a new era. This allowed communities of interest to form and connect in new flexible and productive ways, contributing more to various fields. However, information technology also creates problems like significant differences in information availability between regions that could increase. Additionally, some governments may be wary of new information and reluctant to promote certain types of communities, despite the ability to remotely access information-rich regions with low-cost terminals. There were also initial hopes that the internet would revitalize a sense of community, but disadvantages of only interacting virtually with those never met became a social liability.
Introduction to continuous delivery
Continuous delivery is a software development practice where software can be released to production at any time by building software in a way that enables frequent, automated releases. It involves practices like continuous integration, where code is automatically merged and tested frequently, automated testing and deployment, and using deployment pipelines and tools to streamline the release process. Many large tech companies practice continuous delivery, with some deploying new code in minutes or every 11 seconds to get changes to users quickly.

DroidCon 2015 - Building Secure Android Apps For The Enterprise
I'm delighted to be at DroidCon this year and I hope you enjoy my session on building secure android apps for the enterprise.
Developing apps for enterprise can be a challenge as enterprise grade applications are more than just App code. Enterprise Apps operate in a container of their own where security is a forethought not bolted on, naturally connect to corporate assets which resides behind the firewall thus Protecting Data-at-Rest on mobile devices and Securing Data-in-transport from/to mobile devices become inevitable. Enterprise apps are manageable, deployed not downloaded and controlled by corporate IT rules and policies.
In this session, we will walk you through the four pillars of enterprise app development and how BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 12 (BES12) provides the most secure and flexible way(s) to manage Android apps on all android smartphones and tablets regardless of how enterprises choose to manage Android devices – Android for work, Samsung KNOX or Secure Work Space (SWS).

The document discusses designing information systems that value the periphery by highlighting three key points:
1) Traditional centralized information systems impose strict consistency and ontologies, but peripheral systems like spreadsheets are often better suited for local needs.
2) Newer systems should respect user semantics, infer meaning through interaction rather than imposed schemas, and value distributed ownership of data.
3) Examples of valuing the periphery include respecting individual ownership in learning analytics, acting as a cache for original community data sources, and empowering island communities through control over their data flows.

There are clear connections between the long-term study of human–computer interaction (HCI) and the emerging area of human-like computing (HLC). A recent report on HLC to the HCI community identified four main topics: (i) improving interaction with people through human–like computation; (ii) developing new interaction paradigms for interacting with HLC agents; (iii) emulating human capabilities as a good model for general AI and robotics; (iv) learning more about human cognition and embodiment through HLC. This pa-per explores these topics focusing on the potential input of HCI knowledge and methods and using past and current HCI research as examples.

Rowing Travel as Club Development
Ruth Marr presented on how rowing travel can benefit clubs through club development. International examples showed how rowing programs in South Africa used the sport to benefit communities. Rowing The World partners with clubs by renting equipment and providing guides for international rowing trips. Their model could be applied elsewhere by starting with a development tour to identify local guides and confirm a tourism product. Rowing The World has worked with over 30 clubs on trips around the world and suggested various ideas for how Canadian clubs could organize local and international rowing trips to benefit participants and clubs.

Local Open Data: a perspective from local government in England 2014
The document discusses open data from the perspective of local government in England. It outlines four phases of working with open data: 1) publishing data, 2) standardizing data, 3) analyzing and using data, and 4) engaging users. The benefits of open data include innovation, improved services, and empowering citizens, businesses and communities. However, engagement with users has been limited due to lack of skills and understanding of what can be done with data. Efforts are needed to stimulate interest, find and analyze relevant data, and tell stories with data to empower communities.

The document discusses the Smart Cape public access project in Cape Town, South Africa that aims to bridge the digital divide. It provides free access to computers and the internet in public libraries. While physical access is provided, ongoing issues around affordability, capacity, relevant content and socio-cultural inequalities threaten sustainability. User testimonials nevertheless emphasize the transformative impact of access and how it has empowered dreams and opportunities.
Open Data Islands and Communities
The document discusses open data trends and how they relate to island and small communities. It describes challenges small, remote communities face in accessing and using open data due to lack of skills, resources, and control over their own data representation. The document advocates for empowering communities to both produce and utilize open data in order to increase visibility, identity, decision making and social benefits both within and between communities. Research challenges are outlined around working with multiple small datasets from disconnected communities.
'Internet Policy & Inclusion'
This document discusses internet policy, governance, and inclusion. It notes that internet law and policy now covers a wide range of topics beyond older concepts in media/communications and telecommunications, including intellectual property, privacy, data, algorithms, and the internet of things. A central issue is digital inequality and inclusion. The UN's sustainable development goals aim to promote inclusive access to information technology. Research on the digital divide examines access, skills, and connectivity outcomes. The document then discusses internet inclusion in Australia, noting research on the digital divide and inclusion index, which finds gaps in access, ability, and affordability between different groups. It calls for an inclusive dialogue on technology that focuses on human values and lives.
The impact of Big Data on next generation of smart cities
Big data has the potential to empower citizens, improve public services, and create smarter cities if used effectively. However, simply collecting large volumes of data is not enough - data must be given proper semantics, quality assurances, and integrated with domain knowledge to generate meaningful insights and actions. Additionally, cities are complex social systems, so the social aspects of data collection and its implications must be considered. Technical challenges include data discovery, access, integration, interpretation and scaling to large volumes from many sources, while social challenges involve transforming perceptions and ensuring citizen participation, privacy, and open data access.

Abstract:
In a technological society such as Canada, it is suggested that a specialized kind of expert citizenship is needed (Andrew Feenberg). In the era of big data, others suggest that there is a need to learn how to read algorithms and to study its high priests and alchemists (Genevieve Bell). While, doing citizenship requires a political ethics of technology to thwart technological and quantitative fundamentalism (Darin Barney). Finally, in the midst of a data revolution we need to critically re-conceptualize data (Rob Kitchin). Quite simply, in today's Canada doing citizenship requires data literacy, technical, philosophical and political. Access to print media - books, government documents, academic journals - in libraries and archives enabled a literate society, the prerequisite of a democratic system. I argue that good governance in knowledge producing institutions, is to have technological experts, both data creators and preservers, working to store, manage, disseminate and preserve data so that we have the requisite artifacts to increase our literacy and build upon collected knowledge. Data literacy I suggest, is indispensable in the current democratic system, and that requires having access to data, data infrastructures - knowledge and technology - and dedicated skilled people and resources to sustainably care for them. I consider research data management to be our duty.
Digital heritage tools in Ireland - a review (Sharon Webb & Aileen O'Carroll)
Presented at Cultural Heritage, Creative Tools & Archives, National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen (26-27 June 2013)
This paper reviews the user tools currently in use by Irish Cultural Heritage organisations. We highlight that key challenges for those providing user tools are associated with issues of preservation and sustainability of digital tools, and argue that for cultural heritage organisations the provision of digital tools is as important as providing access to the digital content stored, harvested and aggregated. This review draws on qualitative interviews carried out by the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) in order to inform requirements specifications, policy statements, user guidelines and best practices.

AI for HCI – could this be a better title if I’d asked ChatGPT
Seminar in Pisa, Italy, 11th June 2024
https://www.alandix.com/academic/talks/Pisa-AI4HCI-2024/
AI has entered into all aspects of life. Sometimes this is hidden, below the surface of the devices and applications we use; sometimes much more explicit in interactions with devices and user interfaces. In this talk I'll explore some of the ways in which AI can be used to enhance existing interactions and also how we can effectively design user interfaces for A-rich systems. In addition I can be used by UX designers and AI developers need better ways to interact with their tools and systems. Perhaps more fundamental is not the direct effects of AI, but the ways in which it is fundamentally changing the society and world in which we live.
Just Counting – a tool ecosystem for personal numeric information
, , ,,,,
Paper presented at 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2024), Arenzano (Genoa), Italy. June 3rd -7th 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/AVI2024-justcounting/
Numbers are part of day-to-day life from household budgeting to making sense of global warming and planning academic projects. But, for many, dealing with numeric information is daunting with multiple step changes in complexity moving from, say simple calculations to spreadsheet use, as well as difficulties managing different sources of complex information. In this paper we present an ecosystem of interconnected prototype tools that explore this space, including TSoW interpreting unfamiliar orders of magnitude; calQ a four-function calculator that shifts seamlessly to micro-spreadsheet; WS2 embedding spreadsheet-like features in web pages; and myData collating and connecting the diverse data sources. Collectively, these tools offer an envisionment to prompt discussion both of the way end-users can more easily deal with numeric information and of the background technical infrastructure necessary for this to happen.
A flexible QR-code infrastructure for heritage
Paper presented at AVICH 2024: Workshop on Advanced Visual Interfaces and Interactions in Cultural Heritage. AVI 2024 at Arenzano (Genoa), Italy, 4th June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/AVI2CH2024-qrarch/
QR codes are often used in outdoor cultural heritage settings. They are an established technology but inflexible, especially if the websites to which they point change their structure, or even disappear. This paper describes a web infrastructure for deploying QR codes that can be remapped dynamically, both as web resources move or change, but also to allow personalized and adaptable content. This is a small change in the underlying technology, but radically change potential applications. It can be used to personalise content to viewer’s preferences such as language choices, but could be used to support bespoke events or applications such as school visits or treasure hunts. The infrastructure has been deployed at the Memorial Gardens in the lost village of Troedrhiwfuwch, to enable the stories of fallen WWI and II service men to be retold for the current generation
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

CDT Away Day Talk: Qualitative–Quantitative reasoning and lightweight numbers
Talk at EPIC CDT Away Day, St Davids Hotel, Cardiff, 11th April 2024.
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CDT-away-day-April-2024-QQ/
As academics we need to deal with numbers including project management spreadsheets and student marks. In addition, they are part of day-to-day life whether household budgeting or working out how many socks to pack for a journey. Perhaps most crucially, many national and global issues require an understanding of numeric information from climate change to tax rates, and of course the Covid-19 pandemic. If citizens are not able to make sense of this, democracy fails. Of course, many are not only uncertain when dealing with numbers, but suffer more or less extreme maths anxiety. Indeed a recent UK survey found that, “over a third of adults (35%) say that doing maths makes them feel anxious, while one in five are so fearful it even makes them feel physically sick”. Sometimes detailed calculations are necessary, but often the critical skill is qualitative–quantitative reasoning, that is a qualitative understanding of quantitative phenomena. This can after be aided by the ability to use back-of-the-envelope calculations and dealing with lightweight numeric information. This talk discusses these issues and presents some prototype tools to explore the design space for personal numeric information.

Talk at the Computational Foundry, Swansea University, 24th April 2024.
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/Swansea-song-April-2024/
This talk was my last formal act as Director of the Computational Foundry, before retiring from Swansea University at the end of April 2024. It was the last part in a research afternoon of the School of Mathematics and Computer Science, during which there were talks by other members of the school including a wonderful potted history of Maths and CS in the University and the Computational Foundry by John Tucker and Matt Jones.
This talk is a summary (partial) of more personal research through my time at Swansea, some in collaboration with others across the university, some with those external to Swansea, and some more individual. The talk used a number of web-based prototypes and systems that I've developed, many as weekend projects, to look at areas including AI, digital humanities and heritage, qualitative-quantitative reasoning, statistics and maths education, physical prototyping and UX tools. The talk included work inspired by teaching, consultancy and other real-world problems, but almost always also including a strong theoretical dimension. This reflects my personal background, as the son of a carpenter, but where mathematics was my academic 'first love' -- always seeking out ways in which practical making and fundamental knowledge interact. A theme that runs through many of the examples is the way in which many if the things that were completed while at Swansea had roots before, and also things I started here will continue on the future. And now I look forward to the coming years; although my employment at Swansea has ended, I will continue to collaborate with many in the University, both those I have met since being in Swansea and those I know before.

Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence – Malta 2024
Rarely a day goes by without an AI story in the news. Sometimes, there is good news, such as the use of AI to discover a new pharmaceutical, but often more dark, about AI bias or the way it may rob us of jobs, privacy or autonomy. The human impact of AI is of two kinds. First, what AI does directly - systems that we use and can design better or worse. Second, how AI shapes society, the way AI can create mismatches of power between large corporations and nation states, and between organisations and individuals. Recent advances in large-langage models in particular may mean that AI is only in the hands of those who can afford massive computational power and technical expertise. However, there are signs of hope, in particular the way that generative AI might enable niches applications that would otherwise be impossible. In education this may allow personalised tuition, bit also changes what needs to be learnt ... not necessarily digital; the ability of LLMs to generalise may offer ways for minority languages to survive; and in health there is the possibility of personalised medicine, and affordable ways to help well-being and mental health.
The future of UX design support tools - talk Paris March 2024
talk to ACM SIGCHI Paris Chapter at Université Paris-Saclay, 19th March 2024.
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/Paris-UX-2024/
From the 1980s graphical interfaces have dominated the way we envisage user interactions. While we know and teach our students about the importance of taking a wider perspective, the vast majority of tools used in practical UX (user experience) design are dominated by screens. In this talk I will explore ways in which future design can step beyond the pixelated surface.
One strand is understanding the physical nature of devices, human bodies, and the environments within which they engage; this is addressed in my 2022 book “TouchIT – Understanding Design in a Physical-Digital World” co-authored with Steve Gill, Jo Hare, and Devina Ramduny-Ellis.
The other strand is work over the last few years with Miriam Sturdee and Anna Carter, collectively entitled InContext, in which we have been exploring next generation UX tools, including investigative workshops and focus groups. While not a major issue, AI was mentioned in these workshops, but they were before the recent rise in awareness fostered by ChatGPT. I will contextualise this building on two other books that I am completing relating to AI and Human–Computer Interaction.
I will demonstrate two tools that explore the space of design beyond the screen. One, ScenarioViewer enables screen-based prototypes, at various levels of fidelity, to be embedded within story-board-like contextual images. The other, PhysProto, allows physical prototypes to be interactively explored remotely using video clips and Physigrams, executable models of the physical behaviour of the device. These are prototypes of prototyping tools, but also provotypes, designed to provoke you to consider for yourself the future of UX design support tools.
Qualitative–Quantitative reasoning and lightweight numbers

Exceptional Experiences for Everyone
Invited talk at AMID 2023 – 1st International Workshop on Accessibility and Multimodal Interaction Design Approaches in Museums for People with Impairments, in conjunction with MoileHCI Conference, 26 Sept. 2023.
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/AMID2023-exceptional/
Often accessibility is an afterthought or sticking plaster to fix the holes in an experience that was designed with a central audience in mind: maybe middle-aged, fully abled, well educated. Ideally we would have user experiences designed specifically for different kinds of modalities and in different tyles, not just because of the wide diversity of users, but also because any one user has varying needs and varying abilities at different times. In the context of a large museum or cultural institution this is already challenging, but appears impossible for smaller archives, or local community heritage. Yet if heritage and history is to be accessible this also applies to production, democratising digitisation and empowering marginalised groups.. We need appropriate architectures, tools, technology infrastructure and platforms, that make this not just possible, but simple. In this talk I offer some insights, some examples and many research challenges towards the goal of enabling exceptional experiences for everyone.
Inclusivity and AI: opportunity or threat
Keynote at 9th International Conference on Computing and Informatics (ICOCI 2023), "Nurturing an inclusive digital society for a sustainable nation", 13-14 September 2023, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/ICOCI2023-keynote/
AI is transforming many sectors of the economy and our day-today lives. We hear of success stories including medical advances, but also worries that AI will destroy jobs or even be an existential threat to humanity. We also know that for previous waves of technology – mechanical, electronic and digital – the costs and benefits do not fall equally to everyone in society. There are clear dangers that AI will further entrench existing power and deepen the digital divide: both at an individual level and globally. For example, training foundation models, such as GPT-4, requires enormous computational power and massive data sets accessible only to the largest corporations. However, the ways in which these can be used generatively in more niche areas, offers potential for minority languages and individualised learning that was previously only accessible to the rich. Whether the threats of AI or its opportunities dominate is not simply an abstract question, but one that impacts the most disadvantaged around us, and one that, as researchers and practitioners in digital technology, we can affect. If we truly want an inclusive digital society, then we need to make it happen.
Hidden Figures architectural challenges to expose parameters lost in code
Position paper presented at Engineering Interactive Systems Embedding AI Technologies at EICS 2023, Swansea, Wales, UK. 27 June. 2023.
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/EISEAIT2023-hidden/
Many critical user interaction design decisions are made in the heat of detailed development. These include simple parameter choices or more complex weightings in intelligent algorithms. Many would be appropriate for expert design review, user-preference choices or optimisation by machine learning, but they are buried deep in the code. Although the developer may realise this potential, the location of the decision is far removed in the code from where user feedback occurs, data can be collected and machine learning could be applied. This position paper describes several case studies and use them to frame an architectural challenge for tools and infrastructure to uncover these hidden variables to make them available for machine learning and user inspection.
ChatGPT, Culture and Creativity simulacrum and alterity
Keynote at Creative AI Research Conference 2023
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CAR2023-keynote/
Over the years many of the ‘red lines’ of artificial intelligence have been crossed: challenges that were deemed to require uniquely human understanding. In 1997, chess fell as Deep Blue defeated Kasparov; then, twenty years later, AlphaGo beat Ke Jie, the world’s top Go player. Arguably, game playing can be considered artificial and formal, not representing the rich nuanced nature of human intelligence embodied in the real world. However, large language models have challenged these assumptions producing dialogue and texts that appear human – passing the Turing test . Furthermore, the text, and poems generated by ChatGPT and images created by DALL-E appear almost creative.
Has the last bastion fallen or is it merely the babbling of ‘stochastic parrots’? Is AI the ultimate charlatan peddling plagiarism or instead the child’s cry that reveals the emperor’s cloths of human creativity are sham? And what does it mean to be creative anyway?
I will attempt, if not to answer these deep questions, at least lay down some pointers. We will test the limits of the myth of the individual innate genius with inspiration gifted by the muses; and explore the way creativity is always embodied in culture and technology. Yet, while artists and philosophers debate, the child draws on.

Presented by British Computer Society Interaction Group
and Interacting with Computers, 27 February 2023
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/BCS-IwC-Covid-Feb-2023/
This talk draws on diverse psychological, behavioural and numerical literature to understand some of the challenges we all face in making sense of large-scale phenomena and use this to create a roadmap for HCI responses. This body of research points the way toward current challenges and equips us with tools and principles that can help HCI researchers deliver value. The talk is framed by looking at patterns and information that highlight some of the common misunderstandings that arise – not just for politicians and the general public but also for those in the academic community’s heart. This talk does not have all the answers to this, but we hope it provides some and, perhaps more importantly, raises questions that we need to address as scientific and technical communities.
Beyond the Wireframe: tools to design, analyse and prototype physical devices
Keynote at Fifth European Tangible Interaction Studio, ENAC Toulouse. Nov. 7-10 2022.
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/ETIS2022-keynote/
For many years interaction design was driven by the abstractions of WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointer). The details differ on desktop applications, web pages or smart-phones and the ‘pointer’ has evolved from mice to trackpad and touch-based interactions, however, for many digital applications, the central aspects are unchanged. What is different is that the screens we encounter, as Weiser predicted, are everywhere: embedded in physical appliances such as showers and toasters and situated in office walls and building facades. Furthermore, we are often engaging with digital applications that have no obvious screen or where the screen if present is only a small part of the interaction; these include voice assistants, semi-autonomous vehicles, and smart cities.
Even where the dominant interaction is focused on a screen, the places where we use them and the physical activities, we are doing fundamentally affect the nature of the interactive experience: using a smartphone while sitting in an armchair and watching television, is very different from thumbing a quick message whilst walking down a busy city road on a rainy night.
In this talk I will describe several design techniques and prototype tools that seek to address the physicality of digital interactions including the physical nature of the device itself and the physical context in which it is placed. This will include ‘soft’ formal methods to describe physical aspects of devices, ways to use video to model physical prototypes during early design and tools to encourage designers to keep the context of use in mind even when working on largely screen-based interactions.
The talk draws on some long-standing work, parts of the recently published book 'TouchIT: Understanding Design in a Physical-Digital World' (co-authored with Steve Gill, Devina Ramduny-Ellis, and Jo Hare) and the InContext project (in collaboration with Miriam Sturdee and Anna Carter). The latter arose from the realisation that despite the vast number of design tools available, nearly all focus entirely on the screen and wireframes. We are asking "what is the Next Generation of UX design tool?" – perhaps you would like to join this conversation.
Forever Cyborgs – a long view on physical-digital interaction
Keynote at the European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics (ECCE 2022), Kaiserslautern, Germany, 7th Oct 2022.
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/ECCE2022-keynote/
From prehistory to the internet age, humans have always lived as part of a technologically mediated world. Knapped flints have given way to touch-screens, cuneiform to CSS, but in both rapid hand-eye coordination and long-term social interactions, our experiences and actions in the world are embedded in a physical, mechanical, symbolic and digital nexus. After far too long in the writing, my co-authors and I are delighted that "TouchIT: Understanding Design in a Physical-Digital World" is finally published – symbolic words, recorded in digital media and printed on physical paper. This book covers established and emergent digital technology, but repeatedly the continuity of current and past technology, physical and digital worlds is evident. The fundamental cognitive resources that enable our digital existence in an age of constant flux are the result of aeons of development in a physical world that we remake and reimagine. In this talk I will explore multiple scales of digital interaction from seconds to years, informed by and illuminating what it means to be a fully embodied and richly reflective human.
