New paper alert from @GoogleDeepMind! 🚨 We've put LLMs to the test as writing co-pilots – how good are they really at helping us write? LLMs are increasingly used for open-ended tasks like writing assistance, but how do we assess their effectiveness? 🤔 arxiv.org/abs/2503.19711

Sat with Ted Chiang at @NeurIPSConf lunch ytd & someone in AI brought up democratizing art-making. It was a candid chat so I was like, hey, can I just say something?—I really hate the word "democratize" used this way. Just say "automating art-making." It’s more accurate. 1/

Join us for the @buZZrobot in-person talk next week to learn about the amazing work of @mhtessler and @bakkermichiel on training an AI mediator. Almost 6,000 participants preferred AI-generated statements, finding them more informative, clear, and unbiased. This incredible work demonstrates how AI can help humans navigate social and political conflicts. lu.ma/7wq8i0jk

sophie on some of our scalable oversight work <3
"We want to create a situation where we're empowering … human raters [of AI fact checkers] to be making better decisions than they would on their own." – Sophie Bridgers discussing scalable oversight and improving human-AI collaboration at the Vienna Alignment Workshop.
