What if personas talked back? Our study with UX designers found interactive AI personas sped discovery and sparked creativity but raised concerns on over-optimism, bias, and realism. Check out our forthcoming IJHCS paper to learn more: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

My latest paper just got published.
We asked GPs: How much AI automation do you actually want in your medical records?
The answer surprised us—and challenges what Big Tech is building.

Pleased to share our recent publication @jmirpub. In this work, my colleague @abakik and I explore how generalist conversational AI (CAI), powered by large language models, can transform public health communication. jmir.org/2025/1/e69007
Excited to co-edit a special issue at ACM TiiS with @sarvk, @yashardel, & @slavaxx! We call for survey papers on Interactive Intelligent Technologies—method-driven reviews defining state-of-the-art, spotting trends & cross-disciplinary innovation. CFP: dl.acm.org/pb-assets/static_…

I'm delighted to report that @wayneholmes, Professor of Critical Studies and Ethics of AI and Education @ucl, will present at our symposium in December. cc. @uclnews @sbuckshum @rupertwegerif @margaret_bea @abakik @Anna_De_Liddo @Uni_Galwaypress 🙌
This is going to be awesome 🙌. Join us! @uniofgalway @Galway_Psychol @edtechne @GalwaySocAndPol #collectiveintelligence
Since my earlier explorations into ChatGPT's potential roles in design, I've been contemplating an idea: a virtual design space where designers can interact with all design materials in a semantically connected and persistent virtual environment 👇
I have written briefly about this vision and developed a prototype to explore the idea. Read more about this vision and play with the prototype yourself linkedin.com/pulse/towards-c…

I'm psyched to announce CI•edu — the 1st International Symposium on Educating for #CollectiveIntelligence (5/6 Dec 2024)

I had a great day at the Diversity & Inclusion Symposium at @Data61news yesterday! Met many inspiring people working on incredible projects, and shared my research on inclusive design in LLM-based chatbots. CFP for a special issue will be out soon: sites.google.com/view/di-in-…
such a cool application supporting human-AI collaboration
We’ve been collaborating with @LupeFiasco to help build Generative AI tools for rappers, writers, and wordsmiths using the #PaLMAPI and #MakerSuite. Learn about TextFX, a suite of 10 tools that explore creative possibilities of text and language. ↓

some concerning responses by earlier LLMs. #chatgpt seems to have made some improvements. However, Adam Berry highlights the need to provide more funding to make genAI more inclusive #humanisingAI symposium @UTSFass

How will we embed ChatGPT like capabilities into clinical practice? This study by our team and led by @abakik should shed some light academic.oup.com/jamia/artic…
An insightful interview with @zakkohane on AI/gpt4 and Medicine youtube.com/watch?v=pS5Vye67…
[new episode] Dr. @zakkohane on GPT-4:
"No doctor should be without it. They should have this sidekick that is meticulous, completely up to date, ever vigilant, and sometimes wrong.."
@zakkohane 's combination of risk awareness + optimism sets a worthy example.
In its 4th year, the reading list for Conversational User Interface studies at #chi2023 - 110 papers showing the increased diversity of topics and application areas in the field! Let me know if I missed any: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Not long ago, breakthroughs in AI research often came from lone academics or small teams using desktop hardware. These days, not so much. Are you anxious about how to stay competitive in AI as an academic?

Happy Monday! Read this fascinating discussion on AI anthropomorphism between the amazing @benbendc and @michael_muller, with commentaries from @PattieMaes and Susan Brennan, published by our new #HCAI medium platform

the blurry jpeg analogy offers valuable insights into the workings of ChatGPT, but ending the article with "So just how much use is a blurry jpeg, when you still have the original?" does not do justice to the remarkable capabilities of LLMs newyorker.com/tech/annals-of…
I agree that one-shot prompt engineering will become less relevant. Instead, the ability to collaborate and effectively lead conversations with large language models will be a crucial skill. #chatGPT #AI #LanguageModels #LLMs washingtonpost.com/technolog…
