Partner & Community Accessibility
Join the UW Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering for a research talk with Professor Yi-Chieh Lee as part of the HCDE Research Speaker Series.
When AI Shapes Us: Understanding Conversational AI’s Influence on Well-Being and Agency
What impact does interacting with conversational AI (CAI) have on people's well-being, sense of self, and ability to pursue their own goals? When can these interactions provide meaningful support, and when might they diminish the agency of the individuals they aim to assist?
This talk presents a research program that investigates the social and psychological consequences of CAI. It brings together studies examining prosocial behavior toward AI and its effects on human well-being, how AI's expressed confidence and personality affect human self-confidence and self-concept, and the tensions related to autonomy and ownership in AI-assisted writing.

Digital accessibility has come a long way—but how did we get here, where do things stand today, and what comes next? This session will trace the evolution of digital accessibility through three questions: How did we get here? (the past); Where are we now? (the present); and Where do we go from here? (the future). Along the way, we’ll explore the technologies, standards, laws, and changing expectations that have shaped the field—and consider the emerging trends and opportunities that could define its next chapter.
