However, the effective execution of AI audits remains incredibly difficult. As a result, practitioners make use of various tools to support their efforts. Drawing on interviews... Situating Data Sets: Making Public Data Actionable for Housing Justice Activists, governmentsm and academics regularly advocate for more open data. But how is data made open, and for whom is it made useful and usable? In this paper, we investigate and describe the work of making eviction data open to tenant organizers. We do this through an ethnographic description of... Beyond Voice Assistants: Exploring Advantages and Risks of an In-Car Social Robot in Real Driving Scenarios In-car Voice Assistants (VAs) play an increasingly critical role in automotive user interface design. However, existing VAs primarily perform simple 'query-answer' tasks, limiting their ability to sustain drivers' long-term attention. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of an in-car...
