👩‍💻 How do developers trust AI coding assistants like Copilot? How can we improve the designs of AI coding tools to better support developers in forming appropriate trust attitudes in AI? 🤔Check out our new paper that I will be presenting at #FAccT2024 this Wednesday! 🧵

Now: 🧵 Kate Glazko on #Disability #bias in hiring using GPT Research question is: Does adding a disability-related scholarship bias GPT against the resume? #DisabledInComputing Disabled in Computing #DisabledInSTEM DisabledInSTEM

This is such an important work!

To answer this question, Kate Glazko and colleagues created two resume copies: with or without the addition of disability scholarships/awards. GPT was asked to rank them. Sadly (yet somehow unsurprisingly) the resumes disclosing #disability were ranked lower. 2/

Kate Glazko This bias also bled into GPT’s written justifications. Then, the authors trained a disability-aware GPT, using a prompt encouraging GPT to consider the underrepresentation of disabled people and avoid making assumptions. This reduced #ableism, but not for all disabilities.

Kate Glazko In summary: using GPT in real world tasks such as hiring requires caution and could introduce bias against #disabled folks. Without added data, prompts improved bias for some (but not all) conditions. Contact Kate Glazko or see the full paper using the QR code below! #FAccT2024

Medicine does this infuriating thing with women's health where we all notice a repeating pattern of debilitating symptoms and then call it a "syndrome" and thats where the acknowledgement stops. It's never a "real" disease with an identifiable cause and a treatment. Examples...

“You could see some stereotypes emerge.” While tools like #ChatGPT reduce the time it takes to review job applicants, University of Washington #UWAllen researchers discovered they also are biased against those with a disability. But #AI can be trained to be less ableist. #a11y washington.edu/news/2024/06/2…

Ok, the Seattle folks weren’t wrong about summer being quite majestic!

I disagree with the notion that “everyone is replaceable”. If there’s one thing I’ve learned going to conferences, some of the most intriguing projects I’ve encountered have personal backstories/cultural significance behind them. The human in HCI is what brings that extra spark.
