The National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded Michigan State University $372,611 on October 1, 2026, for collaborative research on enabling screen reader users to navigate deceptive web design patterns, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The project develops intelligent detection algorithms and artificial intelligence technologies that automatically analyze webpage layouts, interaction workflows, user actions, and accessible navigation paths to identify deceptive design patterns disproportionately affecting users relying on screen readers and nonvisual technologies. The research combines large language model-based agentic artificial intelligence, accessibility research, and human-centered design to help people with visual impairments recognize and manage dark patterns that manipulate users into unintended purchases, information disclosure, or other harmful decisions. The resulting technologies and knowledge are intended to inform more effective digital design practices, support human-computer interaction and trustworthy artificial intelligence training, and contribute to broader web transparency and user protection. Performance occurs at Michigan State University's East Lansing campus through September 30, 2029.
