Media generatiivisen tekoälyn ajassa
Miten generatiivisen tekoälyn yleistyminen mediasisältöjen kulutuksessa muokkaa media- ja informaatioympäristöä? Millainen on journalismin tulevaisuus tekoälyn ajassa? Tarkastelimme näitä kysymyksiä tulevaisuuteen suuntautuvan empiirisen tutkimusasetelman avulla kolmessa kansainvälisessä tutkimusartikkelissa, joiden tuloksia esittelemme ja tarkastelemme tässä katsauksessa
Experiences of Finnish Public Services
This study aims to understand the challenges and obstacles Iranian migrant women face in their experiences with public services in Finland and how these challenges affect their cultural inclusion in Finnish society. The study draws on semi-structured face-to-face interviews with ten Iranian migrant women who have resided in Finland for 5 to 28 years, representing diverse backgrounds in terms of age, education, marital status, employment status, a…
AI in Media Consumption
The use of generative AI in media consumption has the potential to significantly reshape the media environment and the relationship between journalism and its audience. However, as research on the potential of AI and algorithms for media and journalism has largely focused on newsroom applications, the implications of potentially increasing audience uses largely remain unexplored. We examine this potential shift from the perspective of journalisti…
Expected behavioural effects of alerts to impolite online news commenters
Uncivil commenting on online news articles tends to harm journalists, news readers, and public discourse. Recent HCI research proposes that such behaviour could be mitigated by alerts (e.g. instructional pop-up notifications) to users while writing seemingly impolite messages. However, the design space of such alerts and the contextual factors influencing users’ perceptions of them remain largely unexplored. Informed by principles of behaviour de…
Emotion labelling strengthens readers’ emotional responses to online messages
Emotionally overheated social media discussions cause many harms both to the individuals participating in the discussion and to the wider society. To support emotion regulation in social media discussions, the strategy of affect labelling is explored. Two experiments were run to study the effects of emotion labels presented with social media messages on participants’ emotional responses to the messages. Altogether 84 participants read emotional s…
Understanding animal-oriented social media collaboration in Australia’s 2019–20 bushfire crisis
In the past decade, social media has served as a vehicle for sharing information and coordinating actions during sudden crises. However, much of the research has focused on local communities directly affected by crisis and the human recipients of aid. This paper explores a case where handicraft makers across the globe collaborated on social media—namely Facebook—to help Australian wildlife during the 2019–20 bushfire crisis. Based on 12 semi-stru…
Rollercoasters and research
Introduction Data-enabled design (DED) is a design approach where research data is integrated with design praxis in an iterative and hands-on fashion, and it has been successfully applied to design for people in the healthcare domain. However, how to utilise DED as a more broadly applicable approach that facilitates design for larger populations in semi-public spaces remains an open question. Understanding the advantages and challenges of applyin…
Tunteiden, teknologian ja journalismin ristipaineessa
Uutisten verkkokommentoinnin kielteistä ilmapiiriä ja asiattomia kommentteja pidetään vakavana, julkisen keskustelun laatua heikentävänä ongelmana. Keskustelujen moderointia pidetään yleisesti hyvänä tapana puuttua asiattomuuksiin, mutta sen nykyiset keinot koetaan riittämättömiksi, olipa kyse tietokoneohjelmista tai ihmisten tekemästä moderointityöstä. Artikkelissa esittelemme uutiskommenttien moderointia käsittelevää aikaisempaa tutkimusta sekä…
User-centred quality of UI interventions aiming to influence online news commenting behaviour
While HCI literature offers general frameworks for understanding user-centred quality, specific application areas may call for more detailed contextualisation of it. This paper focuses on socio-technical context of online news commenting by investigating speculative UI interventions intended to influence users’ emotions and social behaviour. To understand the aspects of quality that matter to users in such UI interventions, we conducted an intern…
Understanding citizen perceptions of AI in the smart city
Artificial intelligence (AI) is embedded in a wide variety of Smart City applications and infrastructures, often without the citizens being aware of the nature of their “intelligence”. AI can affect citizens’ lives concretely, and thus, there may be uncertainty, concerns, or even fears related to AI. To build acceptable futures of Smart Cities with AI-enabled functionalities, the Human-Centered AI (HCAI) approach offers a relevant framework for u…
The March of Chatbots into Recruitment
Organizations’ hiring processes are increasingly shaped by various digital tools and e-recruitment systems. However, there is little understanding of the recruiters’ needs for and expectations towards new systems. This paper investigates recruitment chatbots as an emergent form of e-recruitment, offering a low-threshold channel for recruiter-applicant interaction. The rapid spread of chatbots and the casual nature of their user interfaces raise q…
Interdependence and Intervention
Online news comments are intended to cultivate an interdependent relationship between news organizations and their audiences. However, uncivil online comments have become a persistent problem that requires constant intervention through moderation. In this paper, to better understand these interventions, we analyze interviews of eleven managers of online comments of large Finnish news organizations. By exploring the views of journalistic managers …
Factors Influencing Adjustment to Remote Work
The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted when, where, and how employees work. Drawing on a sample of 5452 Finnish employees, this study explores the factors associated with employees' abrupt adjustment to remote work. Specifically, this study examines structural factors (i.e., work independence and the clarity of job criteria), relational factors (i.e., interpersonal trust and social isolation), contextual factors of work (i.e., change in work location …
How does AI challenge design practice
This forum provides a space to engage with the challenges of designing for intelligent algorithmic experiences. We invite articles that tackle the tensions between research and practice when integrating AI and UX design. We welcome interdisciplinary debate, artful critique, forward-looking research, case studies of AI in practice, and speculative design explorations. --- Juho Kim and Henriette Cramer, Editors
Understanding Matchmakers’ Experiences, Principles and Practices of Assembling Innovation Teams
The team composition of a project team is an essential determinant of the success of innovation projects that aim to produce novel solution ideas. Team assembly is essentially complex and sensitive decision-making, yet little supported by information technology (IT). In order to design appropriate digital tools for team assembly, and team formation more broadly, we call for profoundly understanding the practices and principles of matchmakers who …
Technologies for Enhancing Collocated Social Interaction
Collocated interaction has received growing interest in both academic research and the design of information and communication technological applications. An emergent research topic within this area relates to technological enhancement of social interaction. Various envisioned systems aim beyond simply enabling interaction, to actively enhance—i.e., improve the quality or extent of—social interaction between collocated people. However, there is l…

Scholars’ Perceptions of Relevance in Bibliography-Based People Recommender System
Collaboration and social networking are increasingly important for academics, yet identifying relevant collaborators requires remarkable effort. While there are various networking services optimized for seeking similarities between the users, the scholarly motive of producing new knowledge calls for assistance in identifying people with complementary qualities. However, there is little empirical understanding of how academics perceive relevance, …
Appropriate Use of Theory in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning as a Strategy for Institutional Development
In this article we — as academic developers in two different faculties within a large, research-intensive university — discuss the scholarship of teaching and learning as a strategy for institutional improvement of teaching and learning. We focus on three related issues. Firstly, how can individual engagement in the scholarship of teaching and learning be related to patterns of communication within academia and subsequently have an effect on issu…
