Around this time last year, I wrote 177 pages on transparency, control, and designing #ai for people! TL;DR: plz stop designing AI systems without talking to the humans that will use them. https://t.co/fzrC6V8rMq advised by @boydgraber @leahfindlater #xai #hcml @umdcs

Trust and Reliance in Evolving Human-AI Workflows (TREW) workshop #CHI2024 kicks off with @AdamFourney from @MSFTResearch presenting lessons learned from Copilot etc. on AI code completions. When first released, users only accepted 21-24% of completions and still edited most...

We are starting soon in Room 306A!

[Alison Renner (Smith) @alison_m_smith]

TREW workshop is starting shortly! Looking forward to great discussion on trust & reliance in human-AI workflows w/ keynote by @adamfourney and panel w/ @msbernst @sulin_blodgett @the_sbell and Jina Suh!!

@Dataminr has openings for AI research interns! if you're interested in applied research in human-ai interaction, such as ai-augmented workflows or human-in-the-loop model fine-tuning, check us out 🚀

[Joel Tetreault @Tetreault_NLP]

I'm happy to announce AI research internship opportunities at @Dataminr! Topics range from LLMs, #NLProc , CV, HCI, to #aiforgood , and more. Prior internships have resulted in papers at conferences such as @RealAAAI, @aclmeeting and @CVPRConf.

Ever wondered:
1⃣When users question search result curation?
2⃣Are search explanations needed? when are they beneficial?
3⃣ Wt do users think of explanations provided by Google and Bing?
My #CHI2024 paper with collaborators from @Dataminr answers these RQs

Ever surprised by users’ unexpected behaviors? Wondered why they prefer one app over another that’s powered by the same model? Come seek for answers in our #EMNLP 2023 tutorial: “Designing, Evaluating, and Learning from Human-AI Interactions”! w/ @Diyi_Yang @SebastinSanty 1/2

[CLS @ChengleiSi]

How can we humans verify the truthfulness of LLM outputs (or any claims you see on the Internet)? Should we ask ChatGPT (#LLMs)? Search on Google (retrieval)? Are they complementary?

Tldr: LLMs Help Humans Verify Truthfulness - Except When They Are Convincingly Wrong!

I couldn't make it to #faact but I hope others caught @chachaachen sharing our work on human-AI decision-making--a short version of https://t.co/KFT2PCaj9T. excellent collab w/ @vivwylai @ChenhaoTan @QVeraLiao!

[Chenhao Tan @ChenhaoTan]

.@chachaachen presents joint work with @vivwylai and @QVeraLiao @alison_m_smith towards the science of human-Ai decision making

[Vera Liao @QVeraLiao]

Sad to miss #FAccT2023. If you are there, plz go to session 1: Decisions, Trust, & Reliance today to hear @chachaachen present (a version of) this "Towards a Science of Human-AI Decision Making" paper!

[Alison Renner (Smith) @alison_m_smith]

excellent to see @ReginaRCheng internship work in #hcai @Dataminr featured in @mtlaiethics! this formative work maps the space of human interaction with LLMs for text generation (types, level of control, potential effects) and was published in @naacl 2022!
