Youth Digital Cultures Lab

This project seeks to co-develop participatory and speculative design methodologies with young people in order to deepen and foster non-Western understandings and reimaginings of digital environments. The project aims to bring together diverse young people from across India to engage deeply with their experiences of diversity, joy, and meaningful inclusion in digital environments. 

Feeling Automated: 
Ethical Development of Emotional & Interactive AI Systems

This project aims to explore the legal and societal dimensions of these systems, and explore (i) the risks and harms of these technologies, (ii) the need for  policy action, and (iii) the shape that regulation can take. We aim to release a comprehensive report on policy pathways to ensure the ethical design and development of Social AI, conducting a literature review, multi-stakeholder consultations and testing of Social AI systems in consultation with experts. 

Design Beyond Deception

Using a human-centered design approach, this project combines multidisciplinary research with insights gathered from a community of practitioners to create a manual of ethical UI/UX design principles which practitioners can use to tackle deceptive design.

Exploring Digital Joys

This project examines how young people in India experience joy online. Through a participatory workshop, it provided a space to explore the diverse joys of digital life and their visual and spatial mapping, identify digital ‘playgrounds’ where new joyful experiences emerge, understand how young people find communities online, and use participatory art and design methods to create a digital map of joyful spaces.
