This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of an empathy-based framework to enhance privacy education and design. The project team at the University of Notre Dame is using generative AI to create synthetic personas with AI-generated personal data. These personas are then used to design interactive sandboxes and developer tools that allow individuals to empathize with the privacy implications of data practices, fostering privacy-responsible behaviors among internet users and software developers. The goal is to develop metrics, guidelines, and conceptual frameworks for empathy-based approaches to promote privacy and security in cyberspace. The project will deploy these systems in outreach events and incorporate them into college-level privacy literacy educational modules. This award reflects the NSF's mission to support fundamental research that advances scientific understanding and has the potential for broader societal impacts.
