I approach this question from a stakeholder-centric perspective that views responsible behavior as situated and shaped by diverse professional values that may exist in tension.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUsing academic advising as a research site, I explore how value articulation processes and artifacts support stakeholders in surfacing and reasoning about diverse values around responsible AI behavior. Drawing from literature in HCI, values in design, and STS, and through empirical work, I investigate: (1) what dimensions characterize the affordances and constraints that value articulation processes and artifacts create for stakeholder engagement with values; (2) how stakeholders engage in collaborative meaning-making and reasoning around responsible behavior through collaborative value elicitation activities; and (3) how explicit configuration of conversational agents supports stakeholders in exploring and reflecting on the operationalization of responsible behavior and what resists it in their professional practice.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis research contributes: (1) the \u003Cem\u003EValues Articulation\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003Eframework, providing nine dimensions for characterizing how processes and artifacts shape value articulation; (2) \u003Cem\u003EValues Mapping\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/em\u003Eartifacts and process template for collaborative value articulation around responsible AI behavior; (3) a configurable conversational agent as a technology probe for exploring value operationalization; and (4) empirical documentation of relationships between activity characteristics and value articulation.
