A new & improved version of the paper is out on arxiv! https://t.co/LAOcqaCe8v

check out the (very human) writing process over the course of last two 2 months

huge thanks to @bakkermichiel @mitchellgordon @jacobandreas @jrfisher552 for your help!

I'm excited to announce our work on MentalHealthBench, a new open benchmark developed with mental health experts to evaluate how Al models respond in realistic mental health conversations. 🧵

Nice to RESI in the Boston Globe. https://t.co/xx8ZVDlLS4

[Jakub Pachocki @merettm]

I wrote about the state of AI, why I’m concerned about the next few years, and the choices we need to make to keep the future in humanity’s hands.

what might it take to put pluralistic alignment's ideals into practice? new position paper led by @elinorpd_ discussing this!

[Elinor @elinorpd_]

Pluralistic alignment is thriving as a research agenda yet failing at its goal: making the AI systems people actually use more pluralistic🌈

🚨New position paper: we argue adoption in deployed models should be the fields main goal & we provide a roadmap of how to get there

So excited to be back in Seoul for ICML! Would love to chat with people working on human-ai interaction and alignment, please reach out. And looking forward to giving a keynote at the pluralistic alignment workshop on the 11th.

[Michelle Lam @michelle123lam]

After over 10 years at Stanford, it's time to leave :)

I will be joining UT Austin's CS department as an assistant professor in fall 2027! If you're excited to envision the future of interaction with AI, I'm recruiting PhD students this cycle. Come join me!

[Jasmine Wang @j_asminewang]

OpenAI safety + alignment will be hosting a mixer at ICML & there are several teams attending who are actively hiring. If you're interested in attending our safety & alignment event/meeting teams at ICML, please fill out the below form!

[MIT HCI @mithci]

We're back! The MIT HCI group has grown, and we couldn't be more excited. A huge welcome to our newest faculty (@mitchellgordon, @huangcza, @ZanaBucinca & @jas_x_flowers) & students joining @arvindsatya1, @karger, Stefanie Mueller, Rob Miller & Daniel Jackson. Give us a follow!

[Elinor @elinorpd_]

excited to share that i'll be pursuing my phd in computer science at @MIT_CSAIL starting this fall 🥳🎓 i'm so grateful to be coadvised by the literal dream team: @jacobandreas, @bakkermichiel and @mitchellgordon 🙌

[Andre Ye @andreiskiii]

Sycophancy, disempowerment, homogenization of thought: lots to be grim about for what AI is doing to us, the collapse of our subjectivity into a machine "objectivity". But a lot of AI's value seems to come precisely from scaling this objectivity. How do we make sense of this?

[Andre Ye @andreiskiii]

“Should I fear death?” Ask an LLM and you get one answer or a big bag, but little visibility into the decisions and assumptions that produced them. We built the "conceptual multiverse": a system that makes those decisions transparent and intervenable. https://t.co/oQlWs0KFHu

recently, i’ve been thinking about ways to design ai systems to be more compatible with slow thinking 🐌.

Last day to apply to the OpenAI safety fellowship! It’s a chance to work with some of my favorite people on some of the most important, interesting, and consequential questions in AI

[Mitchell Gordon @mitchellgordon]

MIT postdoc opportunity! We're hiring a human-AI interaction postdoc (HCI+ML/RL) to train agents that deepen how people think and collaborate - rewarded by how humans actually build skill together. With @arvindsatya1 @ZanaBucinca, me & more! Apply by May 1 https://t.co/1jUhnwwlIx
