HCII Assistant Professor Sarah Fox (@perhaxis.bsky.social) reminds us that major traffic disruptions also create layers coordination work for drivers, bus riders, transit operators, employers & families trying to keep daily life moving. Let's try to give extra grace to all. #Transit #Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is bracing for the Parkway East shutdown — but CMU researchers say you can stress less with a little planning and a mindful mentality. Just because #traffic grinds to a halt, doesn't mean your day has to. 🚦 #Research

AI chatbots are increasingly designed to feel personal, engaging, and relational, but that can also create new opportunities for manipulation. CDT research examines how familiar dark patterns shape user choices and behavior in subtle ways.

Dark Patterns in AI Chatbots: A Taxonomy to Inform Better Design

In this report, CDT Research draws on prior work in human-computer interaction and deceptive design disciplines to investigate how established dark patterns documented in other digital technology contexts may translate to AI chatbots –– particularly those positioned for social, emotional, or relational use.

When does the design of conversational AI systems push users into acting in ways that are misaligned with their interests? Great @404media.co article about the new @cdt.org report on "dark patterns" by Ruchika Joshi, Adinawa Adjagodjou, and @mluria.bsky.social www.404media.co/new-study-re...

New Study Reveals the Manipulative ‘Dark Patterns’ of AI Chatbots

A new study by the Center for Democracy & Technology shows how chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Replika and more can lead users down paths they didn't intend.

Excited Carnegie Mellon students had the opportunity to meet with Jensen Huang, NVIDIA Founder and CEO. Jensen engaged firsthand with the cutting-edge research being conducted by CMU students. There was a snake robot, a robotic arm — even a robobuggy.

In this article, Assistant Professor @perhaxis.bsky.social cautions that the rise of AI-generated workslop may reflect deeper shifts in workplace power dynamics, where AI is used to standardize & control work rather than meaningfully support employees. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Bosses say AI boosts productivity – workers say they’re drowning in ‘workslop’

Workslop refers to AI-generated work that seems polished but is flawed and in need of heavy corrections

The hashtag symbol was initially dismissed as being too nerdy? Say it isn't so! Don't miss @cmu.edu's "The Birth of the Hashtag" podcast episode for the background info on how the pound sign aka hashtag changed online conversations. #CarnegieMellon #TartanProud (couldn't resist including a few...)

In 2007, an unused symbol became the internet's most powerful organizing tool and shaped the future of social media. #️⃣ In the first episode of "Where What If Becomes What's Next" Season 3, we talk to @chrismessina.me, the CMU alum who invented the hashtag, and gave it away for free. 🎧 Listen:
