I am at #FAccT2024 and excited to be presenting our paper, Identifying and Improving Disability Bias in GPT-Based Resume Screening. Talk will be on 6/5 at 10:55 in the Consequences from algorithmic deployment at work track, see you there! https://t.co/KspYnXjXkF

Introducing the 1st workshop on Generative AI and Accessibility (GAI+A11y@CHI25)! Come join us to build a community and discuss the opportunities and risks of GAI+Accessibility. More information on https://t.co/6sdmFYp2Io. #CHI2025

[Long Tweet Ahead] Faculty Interview Tips & Common Questions: 🧘‍♀️0. Firstly, do not be nervous - Almost everything can be prepared in advance:) - Be grateful for everyone's time. - Think of it as an opportunity to share your research with others -- exciting, right? - Technical

Congratulations Prof. Potluri! I am so excited for your future students— they are going to learn so much from you, you are such a great mentor. You are going to do amazing things at @umsi!

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.

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

“You could see some stereotypes emerge.” While tools like #ChatGPT reduce the time it takes to review job applicants, @UW #UWAllen researchers discovered they also are biased against those with a disability. But #AI can be trained to be less ableist. #a11y

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...

San Francisco just took a major step in reaching our clean energy goals and supporting our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions! We are launching a new curbside Electric Vehicle charging pilot program, allowing EV charging providers to install infrastructure at select

Our first ever ♿️🥄🧠#DisabledInComputing ♿️🥄🧠and allies meetup yesterday was a smashing success! Thanks to all for coming; to @ShirKi @fabriciomurai for organizing; and to the @RietLab for providing funding! @FAccTConference #FAccT2024 #DisabledInSTEM @DisabledStem

I have had such a wonderful experience at #FAccT24! It is truly an interdisciplinary conference and I am glad to have had an opportunity to learn from not just technologists but legal experts/policy makers. And lovely to meet some #a11y enthusiasts in AI thanks to @DisabledInCS!

📢📢In-person #DisabledInComputing meetup - happening today at 11:10a at #FAccT2024!!! All are welcome. 📢📢 @FAccTConference @DisabledSTEM @StemDisabled

Announcing the first-ever in person meetup of ♿@DisabledInCS ♿️ tomorrow (Thurs) @ 11:10 (in ☕️ break) in @FAccTConference #FAccT2024 hotel lobby, walking to Casa das natas Copacabana. All with 🥄#chronicillness, 🧠 mental illness and/or #neurodivergence, and allies welcome!

@hcikate 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 @hcikate or see the full paper using the QR code below! #FAccT2024

@hcikate 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.

To answer this question, @hcikate 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/

This is such an important work!

Now: 🧵 @hcikate on #Disability #bias in hiring using GPT Research question is: Does adding a disability-related scholarship bias GPT against the resume? #DisabledInComputing @DisabledInCS #DisabledInSTEM @DisabledStem

👩‍💻 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! 🧵
