Amid growing regulatory interest in digital well-being, our new #FAccT2026 paper analyzes how online platforms conceptualize the term and identifies gaps between their stated conceptualizations and the interventions they actually provide.

New papers at #FAccT2026 and #CHI2026: The EU AI Act mandates fairness monitoring for high-risk AI systems. Yet, fairness monitoring will often require access to sensitive data, and the processing of such data is subject to strict legal protections under the GDPR. How to comply with both at once?

In this new #CHI2025 paper led by @linkyi.bsky.social, we examine whether the 3C mantra of "Consent, Credit, Compensation" is an appropriate governance framework for AI trained on creative content. preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2501.11457
arxiv.org
Governance of Generative AI in Creative Work: Consent, Credit, Compensation, and Beyond
Since the emergence of generative AI, creative workers have spoken up about the career-based harms they have experienced arising from this new technology. A common theme in these accounts of harm is that generative AI models are trained on workers' creative output without their consent and without giving credit or compensation to the original creators. This paper reports findings from 20 interviews with creative workers in three domains: visual art and design, writing, and programming. We investigate the gaps between current AI governance strategies, what creative workers want out of generative AI governance, and the nuanced role of creative workers' consent, compensation and credit for training AI models on their work. Finally, we make recommendations for how generative AI can be governed and how operators of generative AI systems might more ethically train models on creative output in the future.
