Can emotion regulation interventions spread from treated to non-treated people in a group? We examine this question in a paper published in @NatureComms, led by @Michael_Pinus & @Yajun_Cao. nature.com/articles/s4146…

🚨New pre-print!🚨 “Understanding Trust in AI as an Information Source: Cross-Country Evidence”, joint w @m_serra_garcia! Coupling experimental data from 2900 participants & 11 countries with WVS data, we provide novel evidence of individuals' trust in LLMs as info sources.

What is Claude's EQ? Awesome look into affective convos w/ LLMs Highlights: - 3% of all convos are affective - Claude pushes back 10% of time - People on avg express more positivity over course of convo Related q: How well do LLMs recognize effective empathic support? See 👇

New Anthropic Research: How people use Claude for emotional support. From millions of anonymized conversations, we studied how adults use AI for emotional and personal needs—from navigating loneliness and relationships to asking existential questions.

💡 New paper at #CHI2025 led by the amazing @n3gRain 💡 Large scale experiment with 750k obs addressing 1 How photorealistic are today's AI-generated images? 2 What features of images influence people's ability to distinguish real/fake? 3 How should we categorize artifacts?

🎙️➡️📝I build a minimalistic Python library for transcribing speech to text using the Whisper API because I found the existing apps a bit too feature rich (and expensive) for my taste. Sometimes, you just want a simple tool that does one thing really well.

Our paper: Decision-Point Guided Safe Policy Improvement We show that a simple approach to learn safe RL policies can outperform most offline RL methods. (+theoretical guarantees!) How? Just allow the state-actions that have been seen enough times! 🤯 arxiv.org/abs/2410.09361

Excited to see our paper out now in @NatMachIntell ! 🌟 We study the gap between what LLMs know and what users think they know, and show how tailored explanations can help bridge this gap. Read more here: nature.com/articles/s4225…

2024 marks the official launch of the Human-AI Collaboration Lab, so I wrote a one page letter to introduce the lab, share highlights, and begin a lab tradition of reflecting on the year and sharing what we're working on in an annual letter to share with friends and colleagues.

Thank you for sharing this, @criticalneuro What a beautifully written piece on the timelessness of life and grief.. and a reminder of the little things that make us whole 🩶

Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It's about how my mom's stroke changed my relationship to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love. Below is a gift link. Let me know your thoughts🙏🏼 nytimes.com/2024/12/20/sty…

I'm teaching my second iteration of "Human and Machine Intelligence" 🧠🤖 for @KelloggSchool MBAs. I updated the syllabus with a couple 2024 books + new lectures and readings. What else do you think MBA students should be reading on this topic? docs.google.com/document/d/1oz…
