Excited to share our paper, "Red Teaming LLMs as Socio-Technical Practice: From Exploration and Data Creation to Evaluation," received an Honorable Mention at #CHI2026!🥇
https://t.co/t9n0UDQy0d
We study how AI practitioners create, develop, and evaluate red teaming LLMs datasets

done and demo didn’t break!

pov right before my presentation. time to chill 🫠😮‍💨

[Ruyuan Wan @Ruyuan_Wan]

We find that aligning model training with human cognitive processes improves both the human's and model's understanding. If you're working on (or curious about!) interactive ML, human-AI alignment—let’s chat! 🌸

We studied how GUI agents like OpenAI Operator and Claude behave under privacy & security threats.

We find:
❌ Fine-Print Injection worked up to 74% of the time.
❌ Humans performed even worse than the agents.

Here’s a 30-second flash video of what we found 👇

Had a full-circle moment at IUI — got to see the paper that’s been the backbone of my work get its well-deserved spotlight!

[ACM IUI 2026 @ACMIUI]

Each year, IUI acknowledges one past IUI paper that had the most impact and highest visibility since being published. This year IUI recognizes "Interactive Machine Learning" and hosted an engaging panel.
