Will AI become a confirmation bias machine?
AI can be a powerful tool for truth-seeking. Yet, people might prefer to use AI to confirm their pre-existing beliefs, and features of AI systems (eg sycophancy) may make AI effective at justifying what people want to believe.

Our work on how gen ai is impacting the labor conditions and power of professional visual artists got a great writeup from Brian Merchant! www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-ai-inf...
Excited to share that our paper has been accepted to 𝗜𝗖𝗠𝗟 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲! 🎉
Multi-agent is everywhere today. But put frontier LLMs in a room where each holds a different piece of the puzzle, and they fail 70% of the time.
Here's why:
📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.11556
Carnegie Mellon University authors from 12 different @cmu.edu depts contributed to 76 #CHI2026 papers:
🛠️ New tools & systems
🧠 New frameworks & taxonomies
☑️ New ways to audit tech
🆕 New advancements in Accessibility, Health, Design & so much more... Details here: hcii.cmu.edu/news/cmu-chi...
Excited to be heading to Barcelona for #CHI2026 to host our workshop PoliSim: LLM Agent Simulation for Policy!
This year, we’ve seen incredible interest from researchers across HCI, NLP, CSS, and Policy. We accepted 25 outstanding papers, with 5 selected as Best Paper nominees.
An alarming new study reveals the dire impact AI is having on artists' livelihoods. It does offer some hope, too.
Multi-agent systems built on large language models (LLMs) are expected to enhance decision-making by pooling distributed information, yet systematically evaluating this capability has remained challen...

In 2019 it took 6 months for GPT-2 to go from too-dangerous to release. Claude Mythos/Fable ran that cycle in 2 months.
The AI PR singularity is amongst us. In 2029, there will be zero latency between a company saying a model is too dangerous and it being released.

When was the last time you read a paper end-to-end for non-reviewing purposes? Seems like we write more than ever and read less than ever. (I'm guilty too)
GenAI tools are kind of like a ddos attack on our attention.
Far too much being produced to handle and justify consuming.
The overleaf git project for one of my #uist2026 submissions was assigned a uuid starting with "67". I believe this lets me mine the latest block on the gen alpha blockchain using the "Proof of Relevance" protocol. Who should I speak with about this
