Passive sensing can potentially enabled future AI systems to provide algorithmic estimates of a worker's performance and wellbeing. However, left unchecked, such systems can worsen the power asymmetries at work. In this project, we aim to explore implementations of these systems that not only protect but also empower workers.
The SocWeB Lab's mission is to develop novel computational techniques, and technologies powered by these techniques, to responsibly and ethically employ social media in quantifying, understanding, and improving our mental health and well-being.
