Data Subjects’ Conceptualizations of and Attitudes Toward Automatic Emotion Recognition-Enabled Wellbeing Interventions on Social Media
Published in Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 2021
We argue that to increase the trustworthiness of automatic ER-enabled wellbeing interventions on social media, companies that deploy them would need to at least fulfill requirements that preemptively protect individuals from the vast harms it presents, take measures to attenuate harms, and align with data subjects’ development and design requirements. These requirements include high computational accuracy, contextual sensitivity, positive outcome guarantees, individual controls, external regulation, and meaningful consent over being subject to automatic ER-enabled wellbeing interventions. We conclude with a message of caution and restraint about the use of automatic ER-enabled wellbeing interventions on social media in the US, based on its current regulatory landscape and social context.

Emotion AI at Work: Implications for Workplace Surveillance, Emotional Labor, and Emotional Privacy
Published in CHI ’23: ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2023
Findings reveal the need to recognize and define an individual right to what we introduce as emotional privacy, as well as raise important research and policy questions on how to protect and preserve emotional privacy within and beyond the workplace.

Data Subjects’ Perspectives on Emotion Artificial Intelligence Use in the Workplace: A Relational Ethics Lens
Published in Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 2023
We argue that EAI may magnify, rather than alleviate, existing challenges data subjects face in the workplace and suggest that some EAI-inflicted harms would persist even if concerns of EAI’s accuracy and bias are addressed.

Values in Emotion Artificial Intelligence Hiring Services: Technosolutions to Organizational Problems
Published in Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 2023
Pointing to tensions between company claims and broader algorithmic fairness and equity scholarship, we argue that EAI service claims dangerously obscure the potential harms introduced by EAI and reinforce exclusionary hiring practices despite their concurrent claims of debiasing hiring processes and outcomes. Lastly, we discuss this work’s implications for design and policy to address deception and unfairness in EAI hiring services.

Overworking in HCI: A Reflection on Why We Are Burned Out, Stressed, and Out of Control; and What We Can Do About It
Published in CHI ’24: ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2024
Our analysis of overwork in academia underscores the urgent need to halt our overwork norms and pivot towards reasonable, responsible, and health-conscious work practices—before we burn to a crisp in the name of more publications.

Emotion AI Use in U.S. Mental Healthcare: Potentially Unjust and Techno-Solutionist
Published in CSCW ’24: 27th ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing, 2024
In this paper, we qualitatively analyzed U.S. adults’ open-ended survey responses (n=395) to examine their perceptions of emotion AI use in mental healthcare and its potential impacts on them as data subjects.
