The Connected Citizen Challenge explores how we can design and configure technology to support equitable citizen engagement around sociopolitical issues, support public consultation and democratic processes, and engage with policy makers.
Areas we’re interested in exploring:
Explainable AI aims to move away from the traditional ‘black box’ approach and help users understand how a system works by providing a human-understandable explanation.
In this work, we are exploring the future of social media in the metaverse through a study conducted inside Virtual Reality (VR).
The pilot study aims to explore the motivations and assumptions behind technical responses to the problem of misinformation, content validation, and provenance in dialogue with the existing tactics and assessments audiences make when validating online information.
The rural informatics project set out to explore the way that people use digital technologies and online platforms to share information within rural villages and coastal towns.
Streetimals is a sensor-based play engine that can be used by children to support their outdoor play. The work responds to reports from play workers that children have had their play harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
How can we better co-design and prototype emerging technology with communities at the centre?
