Do We Need Responsible XR? Drawing on Responsible AI to Inform Ethical Research and Practice into XRAI / the Metaverse
It highlights ethical vulnerabilities in human-computer interaction for mass adoption of wearable AR/XR devices, proposing a foundational but incremental step.
This position paper argues for establishing Responsible XR as a framework to address ethical risks in AI-enabled augmented reality and the metaverse, drawing parallels with Responsible AI to guide research and practice.
This position paper for the CHI 2025 workshop "Everyday AR through AI-in-the-Loop" reflects on whether as a field HCI needs to define Responsible XR as a parallel to, and in conjunction with, Responsible AI, addressing the unique vulnerabilities posed by mass adoption of wearable AI-enabled AR glasses and XR devices that could enact AI-driven human perceptual augmentation.
