Singapore is leading the way for AI innovation and adoption. Speaking to Prime Minister Wong about future collaboration between Singapore and HAI illuminated great opportunity on how we can mutually advance human-centered AI.
📷 This week @StanfordHAI leaders @drfeifei, @landay, and @russellwald met with @govsingapore Prime Minister @LawrenceWongST for a valuable conversation on advancing human-centered AI from innovation to governance and global collaboration.
Grateful and excited that our #CHI25 paper on prosociality towards AI received the Best Paper Award 🏆. Huge congrats to @zichengstephy for leading this work, and thanks to my amazing collaborators @EJLEESG, Yugin Tan, and Naomi Yamashita. I’m so lucky to be part of this team!
Our #CHI25 paper (arxiv.org/abs/2502.02911) finds that providing help to AI can boost human well-being! This has implications for human-in-the-loop, human-centered AI, and AI for social good. More details in the thread (1/5)!
📢 Our new research explores how LLMs/AI agents express uncertainty and its impact on user trust. Understanding verbalized uncertainty can enhance AI-human interactions. Discover more in the full study #IJHCS: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Discover how the timing of using LLMs influences writers' creativity and perceptions ✍️. Our #CHI25 study reveals that starting ideation with LLMs may reduce originality and creative self-confidence. arxiv.org/abs/2502.06197

Excited to share our CHI'25 paper🔔Deconstructing Depression Stigma: Integrating AI-driven Data Collection and Analysis with Causal Knowledge Graphs🔔! We presented a novel computational, AI-based method to understand how stigma develops. Read more 🧵(1/7) arxiv.org/abs/2502.06075
Sharing our paper accepted to CSCW 2025 (arxiv.org/abs/2501.01220)! Social stigma often targets groups with mental illnesses. Inspired by social psychology theory, we designed an LLM-powered agent to role-play as a mental illness person and enabled users to interact with it.
