Human Centred Computing for improved design and responsible development

Type

Vortrag

Topic

Information Communication & Computing (Field of Expertise)

The Human Centred Computing (HCC) theme at the University of Oxford is an inter-disciplinary strand of the Department of Computer Science. Researchers and graduate students from the computational and social sciences work together on projects that explore the social implications of technology and innovation. In particular, our projects seek to consider the ways in which new innovations can be designed, developed and implemented to be more responsive to societal acceptability and desirability. In our presentation we will give an overview of the work conducted across the HCC theme and then focus on two ongoing projects. These concern

the user experience of algorithm-driven internet platforms and the responsible use of algorithms in daily life;
social media as a resource in response to crisis events.
