Unveiling Generative AI's Role in Deceptive Designs
As generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded and utilized for digital design, it presents both opportunities and risks. One major concern is its potential to facilitate and incorporate deceptive design patterns into computing technologies, which could manipulate or mislead users to their disadvantage. Similar to the concept of precedent-based design, a common approach in design theory that suggests reapplying previous design solutions to similar or identical problems, generative AI can integrate deceptive design patterns included in the training data a model has seen before. Our workshop explores how generative AI suggests and enacts deceptive design patterns in digital design. The goal of the workshop is to explore the ethical challenges of utilizing generative AI models and develop strategies to detect or prevent manipulative practices, thereby creating more transparent and equitable AI-generated experiences.

Problem & Motivation
Workshop Approach
Key Outcomes
Generative AI, while powerful for creative and productive processes, poses significant risks by facilitating and amplifying deceptive design patterns. Trained on vast online data, these models can inadvertently replicate existing manipulative practices, misleading users to their disadvantage. This raises critical ethical challenges in digital design.
The workshop fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle AI-enabled deceptions. It provides a platform for participants to engage in practical sessions, generate deceptive designs using AI, and collaboratively develop detection strategies and countermeasures. The focus is on establishing awareness and concrete solutions against perceptual attacks.
Anticipated results include research questions on prototyping, study design, and evaluation of AI-generated deceptive designs. The workshop aims to develop future design principles that emphasize transparency and safeguard user autonomy. Insights will be consolidated into a position paper and form the basis for ongoing collaboration and potential journal contributions.
Critical
Potential for Manipulation
Generative AI presents both opportunities and significant risks, particularly in facilitating deceptive design patterns due to its ability to recombine existing, and sometimes harmful, data from its training set.

Case for Ethical AI Design
The pervasive nature of generative AI necessitates robust ethical frameworks. Without proactive measures, AI can inadvertently perpetuate or amplify manipulative practices, eroding user trust and autonomy. Developing transparency and accountability principles is paramount to safeguarding against these risks, ensuring AI serves human well-being rather than exploiting vulnerabilities.
