PrivacyAkinator: Articulating Key Privacy Design Decisions by Answering LLM-Generated Multiple-choice Questions
The paper introduces PrivacyAkinator, a tool designed to assist developers in making key privacy design decisions. It addresses the challenges novice developers face when using NIST's Privacy Risk Assessment Methodology (PRAM). The tool reportedly enables users to identify more key decisions in significantly less time compared to traditional methods.
- ▪PrivacyAkinator helps developers articulate key privacy decisions through LLM-generated multiple-choice questions.
- ▪An observational study revealed that novice developers struggled with articulating privacy-related design decisions using PRAM.
- ▪A user study showed that participants using PrivacyAkinator identified 47% more key decisions in 73% less time than those using PRAM.
