SUMMARY:Deformable\, shape-changing and wearable devices for the workplace
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nSpeaker: Audrey Girouard \nAbstract: Deformable and shape-changing devices offer users the ability to physically manipulate objects to interact with them. By combining flexible electronic technologies with human computer interaction\, we can study how changing the form factor of digital devices can offer new interaction techniques to users. When wearable\, devices can integrate on the body or on clothes to make this interaction more ubiquitous. These devices offer interaction opportunities in many domains\, including in the workplace\, and for many groups of users\, including people with disabilities. In this conversation\, I will discuss research on deformables and wearables conducted at Carleton University’s Creative Interactions Lab. \nBio: Audrey Girouard is an associate professor in the School of Information Technology at Carleton University. She teaches in the Interactive Multimedia and Design undergraduate program\, in the master’s of Human Computer Interaction graduate program\, and in the master and PhD in information technology\, specialized in digital media graduate programs. Girouard’s work pioneers novel interaction techniques with emerging user interfaces through software and hardware design\, development and evaluation. Her research focuses on deformable user interactions\, flexible displays\, and bend gesture inputs. She has recently received a Technology Achievement Award from Partners in Research\, an Early Researcher Award from the Ontario’s Ministry of Research and Innovation\, and a Research Achievement Award from Carleton University. \nWebsite \nWhere: Zoom Meeting Password: 920905

SUMMARY:A Future of Work for the Invisible Workers in A.I - Saiph Savage
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, December 10\, 8 AM PST (11 AM EST\, 17:00 Central European time) \nWhere: Zoom Meeting Password: 081065 \n \nSpeaker: Saiph Savage \nAbstract: The A.I. industry has created new jobs that have been essential to the real-world deployment of intelligent systems. These new jobs typically focus on labeling data for machine learning models or having workers complete tasks that A.I. alone cannot do. Human labor with A.I. has powered a futuristic reality where self-driving cars and voice assistants are now commonplace. However\, the workers powering our A.I. industry are often invisible to consumers. Together\, this has facilitated a reality where these invisible workers are often paid below minimum wage and have limited career growth opportunities. In this talk\, I will present how we can design a future of work for empowering the invisible workers behind our A.I. I propose a framework that transforms invisible A.I. labor into opportunities for skill growth\, hourly wage increase\, and facilitates transitioning to new creative jobs that are unlikely to be automated in the future. Taking inspiration from social theories on solidarity and collective action\, my framework introduces two new techniques for creating career ladders within invisible A.I. labor: a) Solidarity Blockers\, computational methods that use solidarity to collectively organize workers to help each other to build new skills while completing invisible labor; and b) Entrepreneur Blocks\, computational techniques that\, inspired from collective action theory\, guide invisible workers to create new creative solutions and startups in their communities. I will present case-studies showcasing how this framework can drive positive social change for the invisible workers in our A.I. industry. I will also connect how governments and civic organizations in Latin America and U.S. rural states can use the proposed framework to provide new and fair job opportunities. In contrast to prior research that focused primarily on improving A.I.\, this talk will empower you to create a future that has solidarity with the invisible workers in our A.I. industry. \nBio: Saiph Savage is the co-director of the Civic Innovation Lab at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and director of the HCI Lab at West Virginia University. Her research involves the areas of Crowdsourcing\, Social Computing and Civic Technology. For her research\, Saiph has been recognized as one of the 35 Innovators under 35 by the MIT Technology Review. Her work has been covered in the BBC\, Deutsche Welle\, and the New York Times. Saiph frequently publishes in top tier conferences\, such as ACM CHI\, AAAI ICWSM\, the Web Conference\, and ACM CSCW\, where she has also won honorable mention awards. Saiph has received grants from the National Science Foundation\, as well as funding from industry actors such as Google\, Amazon\, and Facebook Research. Saiph has opened the area of Human-Computer Interaction at West Virginia University and has advised Governments in Latin America to adopt Human-Centered Design and Machine Learning to deliver smarter and more effective services to citizens. Saiph’s students have obtained fellowships and internships in both industry (e.g.\, Facebook Research\, Twitch Research\, and Microsoft Research) and academia (e.g.\, Oxford Internet Institute.) Saiph holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from UNAM\, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Dr.Savage has also been a Visiting Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). \nWebinar: http://cs.wellesley.edu/~mobileoffice/conversations/

SUMMARY:Chris Janssen - HCI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK AND WELLBEING
DESCRIPTION:Advances in computing technology are rapidly changing the way we work. Human-computer interaction is a critical aspect of this ongoing change. The reason for this is that workers need advanced HCI to successfully interact with emerging computing devices. In this series of conversations\, we are asking experts with various backgrounds to help us understand how advanced HCI will support work in the future and how it will also allow workers to balance productivity with wellbeing. While we are primarily interested in how HCI can support new ways to work\, technological solutions are always embedded in societal structures. For this reason\, we will strive to understand the future of work as a relationship between technology and society. \nIn the near term\, our conversations will explore the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on work through the prism of HCI. The COVID-19 crisis resulted in a sudden and dramatic change in how we work. For many of us\, the well-known mainstays of work are gone\, or drastically different than they were before – this includes the eight-hour workday\, the office building\, the morning commute\, in-person conversations with coworkers\, as well as sending children to school or daycare. How can HCI support worker productivity\, as well as worker wellbeing\, under these new circumstances? Furthermore\, how do these new circumstances provide a window into the future of work? \nThe HCI community has a central role to play in creating the future of work. We invite you to join our conversations with leading experts about how we can best do this. \nWebsite: http://cs.wellesley.edu/~mobileoffice/conversations/
