Do e-scooter speed governance policies yield behavioral safety gains beyond the mechanical cap they impose? A firmware ceiling mechanically prevents speeding, but whether the same riders also generate…
Climate misinformation continues to erode support for climate action, a challenge that is especially acute in the Global South, where high climate vulnerability intersects with development pressures. …
The governance of open-weight artificial intelligence (AI) models has been framed as a binary choice: openness as risk, restriction as safety. This paper challenges that framing, arguing that access r…
Most existing assistive navigation tools focus on providing real-time guidance for Blind and Low-Vision (BLV) people, but few support building a holistic spatial understanding of unfamiliar environmen…
Embodied AI for Science (EAI4S) brings intelligence into the laboratory by uniting perception, reasoning, and robotic action to autonomously run experiments in the physical world. For the Global South…
As quick commerce (Q-Commerce) platforms in India redefine urban consumption, the use of deceptive design dark patterns to inflate order values has become a systemic concern. This paper investigates t…
Social and personal decisions in relational domains such as matchmaking are deeply entwined with cultural norms and historical hierarchies, and can potentially be shaped by algorithmic and AI-mediated…
Why do some national music markets sustain a rich musical diversity whereas others converge on mostly formulaic output? The existing models of cultural consumption (superstar economics, rational addic…
Rapid digitization across government services, financial platforms, and telecommunications has intensified the collection and processing of large scale personal data in Bangladesh. In response, the st…
When medical chatbots provide advice that conflicts with users' lived care experiences, users are left to interpret, negotiate, and evaluate the legitimacy of that guidance. In India, the widespread o…
Across the Global North, calls for participatory artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the responsible, safe, and ethical use of AI have increased, particularly efforts that engage citizens and comm…
Artificial intelligence (AI) control protocols assume that trusted large language model (LLM) monitors reliably assess proposed actions across all deployment contexts. This paper tests that assumption…
While it is known that North Korean defectors (NKDs) struggle with South Korea's healthcare system, the specific challenges of their patient journey remain underexplored. To investigate this, we condu…
Software fairness testing is a central method for evaluating AI systems, yet the meaning of fairness is often treated as fixed and universally applicable. This vision paper positions fairness testing …
Ensuring digital inclusiveness is a critical priority in agri-food systems, particularly in the Global South, where digital divides persist. The Multidimensional Digital Inclusiveness Index (MDII) off…
Environmental sound classification is a field of growing importance for urban monitoring and cultural soundscape analysis, especially within the acoustically rich environments of South Asia. These reg…
Bengali remains a low-resource language in speech technology, especially for complex tasks like long-form transcription and speaker diarization. This paper presents a multistage approach developed for…
This paper introduces Pulli Kolam, a traditional South Indian craft, as a medium for physical data representation. Grounded in its cultural meaning and embodied practice, Pulli Kolam follows structure…
Discussions surrounding Artificial General Intelligence have largely focused on technical feasibility, timelines, and existential risk, often treating its social impact as being the same across differ…
While Personal Informatics (PI) systems support behavior change, everyday well-being involves more than achieving individual target behaviors. It is shaped by cultural narratives that give actions mea…
