“…Second, we provide a detailed comparison of our domain experts' automated NLP perceptions with that of technical experts [35,[134][135][136][137]. Third, we compare and situate our empirical fndings with related prior work in diferent domains and contexts, including studies that applied design fction [7,14,38,49,89,102,142]. We conclude by providing critical refection on our methodological and design decisions, including detailing on our positionality.…”

“…"Design fction is about creative provocation, raising questions, innovation, and exploration" [18]. Design fction is useful during the ideation process and can be an essential tool for critical design [89]. While some design fction is low-cost, creating quality design fction can take signifcant amount of time [65] and efort [123].…”

“…One method of eliciting values is through design fction. Design fction is well-known for engaging users in ethical and sensitive discussions about speculative technologies that do not exist yet [7,89,142]. Earlier work has applied this method for engaging a wide variety of potential users, such as AI engineers [72], students [139], and older adults [3].…”

The rise of automated text processing systems has led to the development of tools designed for a wide variety of application domains. These technologies are often developed to support non-technical users such as domain experts and are often developed in isolation of the tools primary user. While such developments are exciting, less attention has been paid to domain experts' expectations about the values embedded in these automated systems. As a step toward addressing that gap, we examined values expectations of journalists and legal experts. Both these domains involve extensive text processing and place high importance on values in professional practice. We engaged participants from two non-proft organizations in two separate co-speculation design workshops centered around several speculative automated text processing systems. This study makes three interrelated contributions. First, we provide a detailed investigation of domain experts' values expectations around future NLP systems. Second, the speculative design fction concepts, which we specifcally crafted for these investigative journalists and legal experts, illuminated a series of tensions around the technical implementation details of automation. Third, our fndings highlight the utility of design fction in eliciting not-to-design implications, not only about automated NLP but also about technology more broadly. Overall, our study fndings provide groundwork for the inclusion of domain experts values whose expertise lies outside of the feld of computing into the design of automated NLP systems.

“…They conclude both approaches can be appropriate, but argue that fully fictional papers have more potential as currently utilized [15]. Lyckvi et al discuss the combination of design fiction and participatory design activities in a workshop paper [17] and Wong et al have combined science fiction and design fiction to interrogate emerging sensing and tracking technologies [32].…”

This paper reflects upon the first phase of a participatory speculative design approach to ameliorate the consequences of illiteracy through touch-sensitive technology. The study addresses both digital and traditional illiteracy, in a region in remote Morocco, inhabited by North Africa's indigenous population. After developing fictional stories in English, we translated them into Moroccan Arabic and visual storyboards, we are currently aiming at developing activities to creatively engage with modalities of storytelling and prototyping to explore participatory speculative design and touch-sensitive technology to bypass illiteracy.

“…[57] Thanks to design fiction, future possibilities could be explored [58] using "speculative design" methods that draw on creative practice [59]. In our research, the rationale for using design fiction is two-pronged: first, it has allowed us to generate debate among participants in the two workshops [60,61], second, design fiction is a very interesting and efficient way of developing prototypes that help participants to collectively project themselves in a speculative future [58,59]. In addition, Nägele et al [62] clearly demonstrate how design fiction constitutes a method and offers tools that are perfectly suited to users in vulnerable situations.…”

Smart cities are especially suited for improving urban inclusion by combining digital transition and social innovation. To be smart, a city has to provide every citizen with urban spaces, public services, and common goods that are effectively affordable, whatever the citizen’s gender, culture, origin, race, or impairment. Based on two design workshops, the “Vibropod” and the “Pointe-aux-Lièvres”, this paper aims at highlighting the contributions of design fiction to the improvement of the spatial capability of hearing impaired people. This research draws its originality from both its conceptual framework, built on an interdisciplinary and intersectoral composition of arts and sciences, and its operational approach, based on the use of the DeafSpace markers and the TRIZ theory (Russian acronym for Inventive Problem Solving Theory) principles. The two design fiction workshops demonstrate that considering the singularity of the human being as an actual acoustic material constitutes an innovative opportunity to improve the role of universal design in a smart city project. By reversing the classic posture, and defining disability by looking at characteristics of the environment rather than as limits of the people themselves (their bodies or their senses), this research proposes an innovative way of addressing smart city inclusivity issues. This paper shows how increasing spatial enablement and having better control of spatial skills can offer deaf people new skills to improve the use of technology in support of urban mobility, as well as give them tools for feeling safer in urban environments.
