Can't think of a better time for this talk... My teammate @AdvaitSarkar has made a powerful case for why we should design AI to augment our🧠 rather than think for us. Moreover, we have a vision for how we might get there. If you want to know what our team has been up to...👇

[Microsoft Research @MSFTResearch]

Microsoft senior researcher, Advait Sarkar, recently presented at @TEDAIVienna, where he spoke about AI’s role in elevating human thought. His talk explored how AI transforms knowledge work, creativity, and human thought – and how, if we design AI to make us think, and not think for us, we can greatly benefit as a society.

At #CHI2025, we ran a workshop on 🧠Tools for Thought: Research and Design for Understanding, Protecting, and Augmenting Human Cognition with #GenerativeAI

What are the #HCI research+design opps in this space?

👉Read our new synthesis of the workshop: https://t.co/JDZZ3PPbQ3

...and see this 📢 new call for articles for the forthcoming HCI Journal Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction: “Generative AI in Tools for Thought: Theory, Design, & Assessment.”

https://t.co/fA4J9D6wEz
Proposals due Oct 15 2025. Full papers due Jan 28 2026.

[Hari Subramonyam @HariSubramonyam]

📢 AI is changing the way we create, learn, & reason.
But is it augmenting human cognition, or dulling it?

Please submit your ideas to our #HCI Special Issue: Generative AI in Tools for Thought.

Abstract Deadline: Oct 10, 2025 → https://t.co/Ks8u2jk8dA

Meetings often drift off-track. Can AI help us reflect in the moment and realign?
Our #CHI2025 paper explores how AI-assisted interventions influence goal reflection during workplace meetings.

How does using GenAI tools reshape knowledge workers’ critical thinking? Our #CHI2025 paper studied 319 knowledge workers to dive into this question. w/ @AdvaitSarkar @lev_tank @iandrosos @seanrintel Richard Banks, and Nick Wilson @MSFTResearch @cmuhcii
