Should I Agree? Delegating Consent Decisions Beyond the Individual

Explore a 20-minute conference talk from the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems that challenges traditional notions of user consent in digital services. Delve into an alternative approach where users can delegate consent decisions to third parties, including friends, experts, groups, and AI entities. Examine the results of a study using a technology probe at a large festival to gauge public interest in this reframing. Discover differing preferences for delegation based on privacy contexts and understand the implications for future consent mechanisms. Learn about the study's methodology, data collection, analysis, and limitations, ultimately considering the potential for moving beyond individual choice in digital consent decisions.
