Welcome
I am Helena A. Haxvig, a fourth-year PhD student at the University of Trento in Italy. With a background in Techno-Anthropology, I specialize in human-technology relations, focusing on Participatory Design and sustainable AI. My research is grounded in feminist and queer Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), critically examining the ethical and societal implications of biased (AI) systems.
Chat with synthetic personas to reflect on how inclusive your designs are. Understand how identity, bias, and representation shape AI systems.
