Data Underlying the Publication: Envisioning Contestability Loops

Data underlying the publication "Envisioning Contestability Loops: Evaluating the Agonistic Arena as a Generative Metaphor for Public AI."<br>In this study, we seek to make explicit the guiding ideas underpinning contestable AI research. We construct the generative metaphor of the Agonistic Arena from the political theory of agonistic pluralism. We combine this metaphor and current contestable AI guidelines into an infographic supporting the early-stage concept design of public AI system contestability mechanisms. We evaluate this infographic in five workshops paired with focus groups with a total of 18 practitioners, yielding ten concept designs. Our findings describe mechanisms for contestability proposed by these concept designs. Building on these findings, we subsequently evaluate the efficacy of the Agonistic Arena as a generative metaphor for the design of public AI and identify two competing metaphors at play in this space: the Black Box and the Sovereign.<br>The TU Delft Human Research Ethics Committee approved this study.<br>The data consists of:Scans of concept design sketches made by workshop participants (PDF)Transcripts of audio recordings of participants' verbal descriptions of their concept designs (TXT)Workshop schedule (PDF)Concept design summaries (PDF)Creative brief (PDF)Focus group guide (PDF)Workshop schedule (PDF)本研究的基础数据源自发表论文《Envisioning Contestability Loops: Evaluating the Agonistic Arena as a Generative Metaphor for Public AI》。 本研究旨在阐明支撑可竞争性人工智能 (Contestable AI) 研究的核心指导理念。我们从对抗性多元主义 (agonistic pluralism) 政治理论中提炼出“对抗性竞技场” (Agonistic Arena) 这一生成性隐喻，并将该隐喻与当前可竞争性人工智能指南相结合，制作出信息图以支撑公共人工智能 (Public AI) 系统可竞争性机制的早期概念设计。 我们通过五场工作坊搭配焦点小组的形式对该信息图开展评估，共计18名从业者参与，最终产出10份概念设计方案。本研究结果阐释了上述概念设计方案所提出的可竞争性机制。基于前述研究发现，我们进一步评估了“对抗性竞技场”作为公共人工智能设计生成性隐喻的有效性，并识别出该领域中并存的两种竞争性隐喻：“黑箱” (Black Box) 与“主权者” (Sovereign)。 本研究已获得代尔夫特理工大学 (TU Delft) 人类研究伦理委员会的批准。 本数据集包含以下材料： - 工作坊参与者绘制的概念设计草图扫描件（PDF格式） - 参与者口头阐述概念设计方案的录音转写文本（TXT格式） - 工作坊日程表（PDF格式） - 概念设计方案摘要（PDF格式） - 创意简报（PDF格式） - 焦点小组访谈指南（PDF格式） - 工作坊日程表（PDF格式）
