Cameron, H. R., Castle-Green, S., Chughtai, M., Dowthwaite, L., Kucukyilmaz, A., A. Maior, H. A., Ngo, V., Schneiders, E., & C. Stahl, B. (2024, September). A Taxonomy of Domestic Robot Failure Outcomes: Understanding the impact of failure on trustworthiness of domestic robots. Presented at Trustworthy Autonomous Systems International Symposium '24, Austin, Texas, USA

Domestic robots are fast becoming an integrated part of daily life. In anticipation of increased uptake of robotic assistants in the home, researchers and designers must investigate what makes domestic robotic interventions trustworthy or untrustwort...

Technology for Environmental Policy: Exploring Perceptions, Values, and Trust in a Citizen Carbon Budget App (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dowthwaite, L., Reyes-Cruz, G., Lu, Y., Lisinska, J., Craigon, P., Piskopani, A.-M., Shafipour, E., Stein, S., & Fischer, J. (2024, September). Technology for Environmental Policy: Exploring Perceptions, Values, and Trust in a Citizen Carbon Budget App. Presented at TAS '24: Second International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems, Austin, Texas, USA

Personal Carbon Allowances (PCAs) are a policy idea for reducing individual carbon emissions, originally proposed in the UK in the 1990s, but promptly discarded due to concerns about low public acceptability and technological limitations. Decades lat... Read More about Technology for Environmental Policy: Exploring Perceptions, Values, and Trust in a Citizen Carbon Budget App.

Responsible AI in policing (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Webb, H., Fitzroy-Dale, N., Aqeel, S., Piskopani, A.-M., Stafford-Fraser, Q., Dowthwaite, L., McAuley, D., & Hargreaves, C. (2024, September). Responsible AI in policing. Presented at Second International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS '24), Austin, Texas, USA

The deployment of AI-driven technologies in policing is often welcomed as an opportunity to enhance efficiency in dealing with crime. At the same time, however, these technologies pose risks around data bias, data protection, accuracy and privacy. In... Read More about Responsible AI in policing.

"Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"? Feasibility, Fairness, and Ethical Concerns of a Citizen Carbon Budget for Reducing CO2 Emissions (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reyes-Cruz, G., Craigon, P., Piskopani, A.-M., Dowthwaite, L., Lu, Y., Lisinska, J., Shafipour, E., Stein, S., & Fischer, J. (2024, June). "Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic"? Feasibility, Fairness, and Ethical Concerns of a Citizen Carbon Budget for Reducing CO2 Emissions. Presented at FAccT '24: Proceedings of the 2024 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Radical and disruptive interventions are needed to reach "Net Zero" by 2050 to avert the climate catastrophe. Although governments, companies, cities, and institutions have pledged to take action and reduce their carbon emissions, the idea of persona...

How Personal Value Orientations Influence Behaviors in Digital Citizen Science (2024)
Journal Article
Jeong, E., Jackson, C., Dowthwaite, L., Johnson, C., & Trouille, L. (2024). How Personal Value Orientations Influence Behaviors in Digital Citizen Science. Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 8(CSCW1), 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1145/3637341

While much research has examined motivations for contributing to citizen science projects, few studies have considered the role of personal values in directing citizen scientists' interactions and contribution patterns. We investigated whether person... Read More about How Personal Value Orientations Influence Behaviors in Digital Citizen Science.
