🚨The 2025 AI Agent Index is out! 🚨 Amidst recent buzz over 🦀 and NIST's new agent initiative, we find: - Selective reporting – esp. on safety - Almost all agents backend just 3 model families - Many agents don’t ID themselves as bots online - Big US/China gaps - And more…

I'll be giving a talk at the #NeurIPS2025 RegML workshop Dec. 7th! I'll also be at the post-AGI workshop on the 3rd and will generally hang around the conference in between. Say hi if you're also around! 👋

Amy Zhang@axz.bsky.social · 8mo ago

I'll be at #neurips2025 briefly for the workshop weekend, specifically the Algorithmic Collective Action workshop and Regulatable ML workshop (where @kjfeng.me was selected to give an oral for his workshop paper on regulating agent UIs!). LMK if you're around!

earlier this summer I published my first paper of my phd! ✨ a qualitative study on how creative writers are using AI in their writing and what their strategies were in order to align with their personal writing values

📢 New paper, published by @knightcolumbia.org We often talk about AI agents augmenting vs. automating work, but how exactly can different configurations of human-agent interaction look like? We introduce a 5-level framework for AI agent autonomy to unpack this. 🧵👇

🤖LLMs are being integrated everywhere, but how do we ensure they're delivering meaningful user experiences? In our #chi2025 paper, we empower designers to think about this via 🎨designerly adaptation🎨 of LLMs and built a Figma widget to help! 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2401.09051 🧵👇

📢 The First Workshop on Sociotechnical #AI Governance at #CHI2025 (STAIG@CHI’25) is less than a week away! 🤩 We are super excited to invite Roel Dobbe from TU Delft for our keynote "Algorithmic Harm and Safety Are Sociotechnical, But Are Our Interventions?" Join us in Yokohama or online!!

The poster for STAIG@CHI'25. The title of the poster is "Keynote: Algorithmic Harm And Safety Are Sociotechnical, But Are Our Interventions?" April 27, 2025 | PACIFICO Yokohama & Online. 16:00-16:45 Japan Standard Time. The poster also includes a headshot of Roel Dobbe and his bio. "Roel Dobbe is an Assistant Professor in Technology, Policy & Management at Delft University of Technology focusing on Sociotechnical AI Systems. He received a MSc in Systems & Control from Delft (2010) and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley (2018), where he received the Demetri Angelakos Memorial Achievement Award. He was an inaugural postdoc at the AI Now Institute and New York University. His research addresses the integration and implications of algorithmic technologies in societal infrastructure and democratic institutions, focusing on issues related to safety, sustainability and justice. His projects are situated in various domains, including energy systems, public administration, and healthcare. Roel’s system-theoretic lens enables addressing the sociotechnical and political nature of algorithmic and artificial intelligence systems across analysis, engineering design and governance, with an aim to empower domain experts and affected communities. His results have informed various policy initiatives, including environmental assessments in the European AI Act as well as the development of the algorithm watchdog in The Netherlands."

Can LLM prompting help social media users create and iterate on their content filters more easily? In our #CHI2025 paper, we compared in an experiment three authoring strategies: 🤖 Prompting LLM 🔎 Labeling examples for ML classifiers 📐 Authoring keyword rules (🧵1/N)

Quan Ze Chen@cqz.name · last yr.

In-context learning can be an effective way to conduct value alignment of LLMs through examples, but when there are multiple pluralistic groups, are the best examples for one group also the ones for another? We explore this in our paper 🌟SPICA🌟 (🧵1/9)

Are any of you content creators on YouTube or can share this with any creators on YouTube? We're looking to test out a system we've built to enable creators to make custom filters for their comments, no technical skills needed! We offer $20 for a 1 hour remote session where you can try out the tool.

🤔Giving complex tasks to AI agents is easy—getting them to do exactly what you want isn’t. How can human-AI collaboration give us more reliable & steerable agents? 🍫Introducing Cocoa, our new interaction paradigm for balancing human & AI agency in complex human-AI workflows. 🧵
