The article presents a historical overview of the classification of contemporary artworks that either have utilized artificial intelligence as a tool in their creation or focus on AI as their central theme or subject matter. The authors analyze artwo... Read More about Decoding AI in Contemporary Art: A Five-Trope Classification for Understanding and Categorisation.

Encountering Autonomous Robots on Public Streets (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pelikan, H. R. M., Reeves, S., & Cantarutti, M. N. (2024, March). Encountering Autonomous Robots on Public Streets. Presented at 19th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Boulder, Colorado, USA

Robots deployed in public settings enter spaces that humans live and work in. Studies of HRI in public tend to prioritise direct and deliberate interactions. Yet this misses the most common form of response to robots, which ranges from subtle fleetin... Read More about Encountering Autonomous Robots on Public Streets.

Augmented Robotic Telepresence (ART): A Prototype for Enhancing Remote Interaction and Participation (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reyes-Cruz, G., Phypers, I., Boudouraki, A., Price, D., Fischer, J., Reeves, S., Galvez Trigo, M., & Maior, H. (2023, July). Augmented Robotic Telepresence (ART): A Prototype for Enhancing Remote Interaction and Participation. Presented at First International Symposium on Trustworthy Autonomous Systems, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Mobile robotic telepresence (MRP) allows remote users' access and mobility in a range of local environments. MRP devices have been adopted in societally significant domains such as workplaces, museums, commerce, education, and healthcare, especially...

Thinking Like a Machine: Alan Turing, Computation and the Praxeological Foundations of AI (2023)
Journal Article
Saha, D., Brooker, P., Mair, M., & Reeves, S. (2023). Thinking Like a Machine: Alan Turing, Computation and the Praxeological Foundations of AI. Science & Technology Studies, 37(2), https://doi.org/10.23987/sts.122892

As part of ongoing research bridging ethnomethodology and computer science, in this article we offer an alternate reading of Alan Turing’s 1936 paper, “On Computable Numbers”. Following through Turing’s machinic respecification of computation, we hop... Read More about Thinking Like a Machine: Alan Turing, Computation and the Praxeological Foundations of AI.

Your mileage may vary: Case study of a robotic telepresence pilot roll-out for a hybrid knowledge work organisation (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Boudouraki, A., Fischer, J. E., Reeves, S., & Rintel, S. (2023, April). Your mileage may vary: Case study of a robotic telepresence pilot roll-out for a hybrid knowledge work organisation. Presented at CHI '23: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Hamburg, Germany

Organisations wishing to maintain employee satisfaction for hybrid collaboration need to explore flexible solutions that provide value for both remote and on-site employees. In this case study, we report on the roll-out of a telepresence robot pilot...

The Work to Make Facial Recognition Work (2023)
Journal Article
Greiffenhagen, C., Xu, X., & Reeves, S. (2023). The Work to Make Facial Recognition Work. Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 7(CSCW1), 1-30. https://doi.org/10.1145/3579531

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has become a significant topic in CSCW owing to widespread adoption and related criticisms: the use of FRT is often considered an assault on privacy or a kind of neo-phrenology. This discussion has revolved around... Read More about The Work to Make Facial Recognition Work.

"Being in on the Action" in Mobile Robotic Telepresence: Rethinking Presence in Hybrid Participation (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Boudouraki, A., Fischer, J. E., Reeves, S., & Rintel, S. (2023, March). "Being in on the Action" in Mobile Robotic Telepresence: Rethinking Presence in Hybrid Participation. Presented at 18th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (HRI), Stockholm, Sweden

Mobile Robotic Telepresence (MRP) systems afford remote communication with an embodied physicality and autonomous mobility, which is thought to be useful for creating a sense of presence in hybrid activities. In this paper, drawing on phenomenology,... Read More about "Being in on the Action" in Mobile Robotic Telepresence: Rethinking Presence in Hybrid Participation.

Revisiting the Digital Plumber: Modifying the Installation Process of an Established Commercial IoT Alarm System (2023)
Journal Article
Castle-Green, T., Reeves, S., Fischer, J. E., & Koleva, B. (2023). Revisiting the Digital Plumber: Modifying the Installation Process of an Established Commercial IoT Alarm System. Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 32(3), 607-643. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10606-022-09455-2

The ‘digital plumber’ is a conceptualisation in ubicomp research that describes the work of installing and maintaining IoT devices. But an important and often understated element of commercial IoT solutions is their long-term socio-technical infrastr...

Conversational AI: Respecifying participation as regulation (2022)
Book Chapter
Reeves, S., & Porcheron, M. (2022). Conversational AI: Respecifying participation as regulation. In W. Housley, A. Edwards, R. Beneito-Montagut, & R. Fitzgerald (Eds.), The SAGE Handbook of Digital Society. SAGE Publications

When we talk about AI-driven systems there is a tendency by researchers to treat people encountering them as ‘participants’ in human-machine interactions. This seems particularly true for so-called conversational AI, such as voice interfaces or chatb... Read More about Conversational AI: Respecifying participation as regulation.

Supporting Awareness of Visual Impairments and Accessibility Reflections through Video Demos and Design Cards (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reyes-Cruz, G., Fischer, J., & Reeves, S. (2022, October). Supporting Awareness of Visual Impairments and Accessibility Reflections through Video Demos and Design Cards. Presented at Nordic Human-Computer Interaction Conference (NordiCHI ’22), Aarhus, Denmark

Disabled people's experiences and knowledge are oftentimes not central in design processes. Further, the burden of outreach and sensitising others to these experiences and knowledge is frequently not recognised. This paper offers a workshop approach...
