Venturing ChatGPT's lens to explore human values in software artifacts: a case study of mobile APIs (2025)
Journal Article
Mougouei, D., Rafi, S., Fahmideh, M., Mougouei, E., Khan, J. A., Dam, H. K., Nurwidyantoro, A., & Chaudron, M. (online). Venturing ChatGPT's lens to explore human values in software artifacts: a case study of mobile APIs. Behaviour and Information Technology, https://doi.org/10.1080/0144929x.2025.2478278

Software is designed for humans and must account for their values. However, current research and practice focus on a narrow range of well-explored values, e.g. security, overlooking a more comprehensive perspective. Those exploring a broader array of...
