Navigating the Complexity of Trust at UXPA Boston 2021Carol Smith
Trust is complex and transient. Context, safety, privacy, respect, and many other considerations are built into each individuals’ concept of trust. How can we examine this complexity in a way that supports the work of making digital experiences? What research supports this work and how can we use practices of responsible development to make systems that earn appropriate levels of trust? What is an appropriate level of trust for emerging technologies such as machine learning systems? This talk will examine trust and how UX practitioners can define and measure it.

Implementing Ethics: Developing Trustworthy AI PyCon 2020Carol Smith
Ethics discussions abound, but translating “do no harm” into our work is frustrating at best, and obfuscatory at worst. We can agree that keeping humans safe and in control is important, but implementing ethics is intimidating work.
Learn how to wield your preferred technology ethics code to make an AI system that is accountable, de-risked, respectful, secure, honest and usable. The presenter will introduce the topic of ethics and then step through a user experience (UX) framework to guide AI development teams successfully through this process.
Presented virtually for PyCon 2020 which was to be held in Pittsburgh, PA, but was reorganized online due to Covid-19.

IA is Elemental: People are Fundamental at World IA Day 2020 PittsburghCarol Smith
Information architects work in a system with ourselves at the center. We are fundamental to making great experiences and as such, we must care for ourselves in order to best represent the people using the systems we are creating. Prioritizing the needs of users comes next, and with that protecting them by caring about diversity, inclusion and ethics. Finally, collaboration with colleagues and communities that influence our work can be done by educating them about IA work.

Designing Trustworthy AI: A Human-Machine Teaming Framework to Guide Developm...Carol Smith
"Designing Trustworthy AI: A Human-Machine Teaming Framework to Guide Development" is a paper presented at the AAAI 2019 Fall Symposium on AI in Government and the Public Sector, (sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence) in Washington, DC, November 7–9, 2019.
Artificial intelligence (AI) holds great promise to empower us with knowledge and augment our effectiveness. We can -- and must -- ensure that we keep humans safe and in control, particularly with regard to government and public sector applications that affect broad populations. How can AI development teams harness the power of AI systems and design them to be valuable to humans? Diverse teams are needed to build trustworthy artificial intelligent systems, and those teams need to coalesce around a shared set of ethics. There are many discussions in the AI field about ethics and trust, but there are few frameworks available for people to use as guidance when creating these systems. The Human-Machine Teaming (HMT) Framework for Designing Ethical AI Experiences described in this paper, when used with a set of technical ethics, will guide AI development teams to create AI systems that are accountable, de-risked, respectful, secure, honest, and usable. To support the team's efforts, activities to understand people's needs and concerns will be introduced along with the themes to support the team's efforts. For example, usability testing can help determine if the audience understands how the AI system works and complies with the HMT Framework. The HMT Framework is based on reviews of existing ethical codes and best practices in human-computer interaction and software development. Human-machine teams are strongest when human users can trust AI systems to behave as expected, safely, securely, and understandably. Using the HMT Framework to design trustworthy AI systems will provide support to teams in identifying potential issues ahead of time and making great experiences for humans.
On the Road: Best Practices for Autonomous Experiences at WUC19Carol Smith
Presented at the World Usability Congress in Graz, Austria on October 16, 2019.
Self-driving vehicles are still a rarity in most cities, but as they become more common and as more and more humans interact with them we need to consider the wide variety of human experiences that occur within and along-side these vehicles. What information does the driver need when the vehicle is getting started vs. on it’s way? What information engenders trust and how much is too much? What changes due to experience level and comfort? How do we account for reliable easy commutes and people who use vehicles differently each day? How do these vehicles interact with other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and general society?
Designing More Ethical and Unbiased Experiences - AbstractionsCarol Smith
Presented at Abstractions, Pittsburgh, PA
Karen Bachmann and Carol Smith, August 23, 2019
Humans are biased, and sadly, we are not always able to filter our deeply ingrained biases. UX designers and researchers have long understood this, but as we watch major technology companies make significant mistakes with regard to ethics and bias, the cost of not accounting for bias and ethics is becoming more evident and widely known.
Even knowing what pitfalls exist, we still miss opportunities for doing good as a result of our own human biases obscuring our vision. We need tools to explore and challenge our biases in a productive way to deliver better outcomes. We need a set of shared values within teams and, ultimately, across the industry to promote our common responsibility to deliver the greatest benefit while causing the least amount of harm. How can we work together to intensify the focus on ethical design? In this session, we’ll share ways you can empower yourself and your teams to do the right thing for people.
Dynamic UXR: Ethical Responsibilities and AI. Carol Smith at Strive in TorontoCarol Smith
Artificially intelligent (AI) technologies are exciting and with them come a lot of new user experience research (UXR) responsibilities. How do we understand and clarify our users need for transparency, control, and access (and more) when the system is constantly changing?
These dynamic systems are already part of our everyday lives and quickly becoming part of our jobs. What are our responsibilities with regard to ethics and protecting users from bias?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

47. 46 Participants Representative of users Minimum of 6 More participants = more data to analyze Allow one hour for 50 items 30 – 100 cards
49. Issues Card doesn’t fit: make separate group Not relevant: tell me More than one place: tell me and put in best fit Items not understood Correct audience? Items without consensus Re-name item? Include in more than one category? 48
50. Grouping Cards Ask to Describe groups and name them Describe overall rationale for grouping cards Show best example from groups What was difficult? What was easy? Happy with final outcome? 49
51. 50 Analysis Codes on cards = faster data analysis Standardize group names Look for patterns Excel Spreadsheet (Donna Spencer) Online tools - limited analysis
54. 53 Looking for Patterns Identify repetition Groupings or clusters of users Overlapping characteristics Relevant to design problem After pattern is found, continuation of study: Adds cost Delays reporting Low probability of many new findings
56. 80% Sure We Know… Primary user’s tasks goals Prioritize with: vision (why we are doing this?) business needs etc. Awareness of what not known (yet). 55
59. Share What You Learn [Radiate Knowledge*] 58 *Thoughtworks via @jonrstahl
60. 59 Goals of Sharing Help the team: understand user’s point of view prioritize content and solutions design for user’s needs and behaviors identify new opportunities create new solutions
61. Information Radiators Should Represents all research Facilitate: communication decision-making Guide decisions about: Navigation Features Design 60
