WAILabs Psych Corner: How AI Interactional Systems Shape Psychology - And Why Gender Matters
As a researcher at the intersection of psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), and AI ethics, my work has long been driven by a simple yet urgent question: How do interactive and interactional systems - not just as tools, but as entities and experience creators - shape our emotions, behaviours, interactions with others and even our sense of self?

The Question of Legitimate Interest As Lawful Basis for Training AI Models
In this article, Petruta Pirvan and Sonal Makhija explore several real-world use cases and highlight the practical challenges that organizations commonly encounter.The growing reliance on legitimate interest as the primary lawful basis for AI training has been broadly accepted by EU data protection authorities. In comparison to the impracticality of obtaining consent at scale, legitimate interest offers a more pragmatic path. However, its applicability depends on the specific

From Bits to Meaning: Semantic AI for Wireless
Wireless was born to ship bits. The next wave will ship intent. We still celebrate lower bit error rate (BER) and higher spectral efficiency, yet many modern applications don’t need every bit, they need the right information to make the next decision. If a detector’s confidence is unchanged, why protect the last kilobyte? If a policy is invariant to pixel noise, why retransmit for perfection?
