“…Out of the remaining participants, 306 were men, 209 women, one non-binary person, one person identifying as both man and woman and three participants who did not input their gender 7 . The most common age group of the participants was 30 to 34 years old (107 participants, of them 63 men, 44 women), followed by 25 to 29 years old (81 participants, of them 45 men, 33 women) and 20 to 24 years old (65 participants, of them 29 men, 36 women).…”

Dark patterns in cookie disclaimers are factors that are used to lead users to accept more cookies than needed and more than they are aware of. The contributions of this paper are (1) evaluating the efficacy of several of these factors while measuring actual behavior;(2) identifying users' attitude towards cookie disclaimers including how they decide which cookies to accept or reject. We show that different visual representation of the reject/accept option have a significant impact on users' decision. We also found that the labeling of the reject option has a significant impact. In addition, we confirm previous research regarding biasing text (which has no significant impact on users' decision). Our results on users' attitude towards cookie disclaimers indicate that for several user groups the design of the disclaimer only plays a secondary role when it comes to decision making. We provide recommendations on how to improve the situation for the different user groups.

“…Notice and choice naively assumes that people are rational (Hoofnagle and Urban 2002). But people consent to whatever terms are offered because of complexity and the power differential (the terms being non-negotiable) (Fassl, Gröber, and Krombholz 2021). Recent work in human-computer interaction seeks improved models of and user interfaces for consent (Im et al 2021;Lindegren et al 2021), but this work doesn't offer much for responsible autonomy.…”

Consent as a Foundation for Responsible Autonomy

This paper focuses on a dynamic aspect of responsible autonomy, namely, to make intelligent agents be responsible at run time. That is, it considers settings where decision making by agents impinges upon the outcomes perceived by other agents. For an agent to act responsibly, it must accommodate the desires and other attitudes of its users and, through other agents, of their users. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it provides a conceptual analysis of consent, its benefits and misuses, and how understanding consent can help achieve responsible autonomy. Second, it outlines challenges for AI (in particular, for agents and multiagent systems) that merit investigation to form as a basis for modeling consent in multiagent systems and applying consent to achieve responsible autonomy.
