🚨New workshop at @acm_ccs #CCS2025! Glad to announce the 1st workshop on Human-Centered AI Privacy and Security (#HAIPS2025, pronounced “hypes” 😎) AI is reshaping lives and S&P research—let’s bring people back to the center. 📢 CFP is out! 🌊 haips.com
I just gave a talk at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in Bochum, Germany,on my research #Deepfakes linkedin.com/posts/dilruksh…

At @IndiaHCI_ , we have sent desk rejections for full papers. If you also have a work that got rejected, there is still an opportunity to submit as a SRC.
The #IndiaHCI2025 Student Research Consortium deadline is now July 31. Submit your HCI research, get mentored, and join the community. 🔗 2025.indiahci.org/submission/stu… #StudentResearch #SRC #HCI #DesignStudents #UXResearch #AcademicTwitter
Oh yeah, it's not a need, it's indispensable! Said "Ger MAN"


Gave a talk at the Weizenbaum Institute based on my past and ongoing research. These are great opportunities to get much wider perspectives of the world and how they see the problems in their perspectives. #research #deepfakes




If you are a HCI researcher working in the South Asian continent or one who could help us to review few papers,specially Indian, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lankan researchers outsite the country, pls help us. This is your chance to serve the research community. just dm me your…
Looking forward to conversation about @alexhanna new book, THE AI CON: How to Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want at @JWI_Berlin today.
🚨 Now out in NHB 🚨 We show that following the news on WhatsApp or Instagram (N = 3,395 🇫🇷🇩🇪) increases current affairs knowledge, participants’ ability to discern true from false news stories, awareness of true news stories, as well as trust in the news.
In this article, @Sacha_Altay @EmmaHoes93 and @mwojcieszak show that following the news on social media increases current affairs knowledge, the ability to discern true from false news, and trust in the news. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Super excited to be at @icwsm with my RA @UCSC_LK. Sad I had to rush back missing @gvrkiran 's keynote, but looking forward to take the conversation further.




Thank you @JWI_Berlin for welcoming us, looking forward to make the time memorable with great research and researchers. weizenbaum-institut.de/en/portrait/p/… #HCI researchers in Berlin, lets catch-up!


Wrapped up Stanford CS336 (Language Models from Scratch), taught with an amazing team @tatsu_hashimoto @marcelroed @neilbband @rckpudi. Researchers are becoming detached from the technical details of how LMs work. In CS336, we try to fix that by having students build everything:
Now, these are the review tasks that I feel excited to do and more happy about #NeurIPS2025

I was recently on @BBCNewsnight to discuss the accelerating pace of advances in AI capabilities and the emergence of deceptive and self-preserving behaviours in frontier models. This conversation with @faisalislam covers many issues that inspired me to launch @LawZero_.
🚨 Mind blowing interview with Turing award-winning Yoshua Bengio for @BBCNewsnight one of the three founding fathers of AI, is now warning: “The worst-case scenario is human extinction.” AI isn’t just risky — it could end us. 1/10 🧵 📺 youtu.be/c4Zx849dOiY?t=0
Although I am away physically, I continue to support our undergrads to meet the expected levels in their honors. Today we had our usual 4th year Research Seminar class, supper proud of the students, mediated with the technology they are well attentive, responsive and did…

Today marks a big milestone for me. I'm launching @LawZero_, a nonprofit focusing on a new safe-by-design approach to AI that could both accelerate scientific discovery and provide a safeguard against the dangers of agentic AI.
Every frontier AI system should be grounded in a core commitment: to protect human joy and endeavour. Today, we launch @LawZero_, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing safe-by-design AI. lawzero.org
Just started my fellowship at @JWI_Berlin , if you are around Berlin looking forward to catch lets discuss #Deepfakes #AI linkedin.com/posts/dilruksh…


For all of us worried about AI running out of data, this paper has answers! Moving past limitations of human data, agents will learn predominantly from interacting with their environment, aiming for new capabilities & new discoveries. RL is the future! bit.ly/44FAFmR
Finally decided and consent to which subcommittee I want to #AC at #CHI2026 OMG!
I cant believe such engagements to this video which I believe a #Deepfake #AIgenerated No clear source, news or even background wind not realistic
