🧑💻 New paper at #chi2026 w @lorenzspreen.eurosky.social and @stefanherzog.bsky.social Are you worried about how social media algorithms affect people’s beliefs? We are, so we tested engagement-based ranking algorithms against alternatives in a pre-reg’d collaborative filtering experiment... 🧵
⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

Check out @isabelcorpus.bsky.social's fantastic thread on our paper studying the effects of a "write with AI" button on change.org! ✍️ Spoiler: the effects of AI aren't always positive.
Isabel Silva Corpus@isabelcorpus.bsky.social · 11mo agoExcited to share a new working paper! What happened when Change.org integrated an AI writing tool into their platform? We provide causal evidence that petition text changed significantly while outcomes did not improve. 1/ arxiv.org/abs/2511.13949

While human behavior and the data describing it evolve over time, fairness is often evaluated at a single snapshot. Yet, as we show in our newly published paper, fairness is dynamic. We studied how fairness evolves in dropout prediction across enrollment and found that it shifts over time.

Large language models act as if they are part of a group - Nature Computational Science
An extensive audit of large language models reveals that numerous models mirror the ‘us versus them’ thinking seen in human behavior. These social prejudices are likely captured from the biased conten...
