Joining @Stanford CS & returning home to CA-Hard to leave NYC & @Cornell_Tech, but excited to help @StanfordHCI & Design to the next level!
Proud to see this video featuring my former students @mister_jackchen & @anoopsinha. Making UIs accessible for everyone is important. AI is helping that vision come to fruition. Glad to see my students helping lead industry forward. This is true Human-centered AI @StanfordHAI
See how remarkable blind author @mister_jackchen works w/ our researchers to test the helpfulness of new AI tools. His feedback, part of our Natively Adaptive Interfaces (NAI) research, helps transform research & writing for those who are blind or low vision. 🎥…
At today's @StanfordHAI seminar, Dave Patterson and @andykonwinski discussed themes from their paper "Shaping AI's Impact on Billions of Lives." They argued that we are still in the early days of practical AI, and that collaborative efforts can guide AI's impact.…

Since 2018, @StanfordHAI has been making a significant impact in advancing research at Stanford. One of its mechanisms is through the Hoffman-Yee Research Grants, designed to launch “asteroid shot” ideas that address some of our biggest challenges. hai.stanford.edu/news/stanford-…
Why do AI models often fail in safety-critical scenarios? Researchers investigate a statistical phenomenon called “accuracy on the line.” Read about their work on the @StanfordHAI blog: hai.stanford.edu/news/better-be…
Thanks for having me!
What does #AIforGood really mean? And how do we build AI systems that are not just intelligent, but truly human-centered? We couldn't resist asking Stanford’s Prof. James Landay these questions (and more!) during his visit to MBZUAI, when he emphasized the need to design AI not…
Again, AI chat bots/LLMs are dangerous for mental health therapy.
Low-cost AI therapy chatbots may seem like a perfect solution for many seeking mental health help. But a recent Stanford study raises some red flags: hai.stanford.edu/news/exploring…
Join us for an insightful discussion on the #AIIndex2025 report in a special event co-hosted with @USC_ISI. Delve into the key findings from the latest report, followed by a networking social. RSVP here: isi.edu/special-events…
Very cool thread about the CS336 Language Models from Scratch course at Stanford taught by @percyliang et al. Makes me wish I was a student again!
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:
Before my talk at #TNW with the host #TNWphotochallenge @thenextweb
Friday, I speak at #TNW in Amsterdam about why “AI for Good” isn’t good enough – and what we should be doing instead. Human-centered AI doesn’t mean just user-centered design, but also requires a community- and society-centered approach. lnkd.in/gxwUxgrA
But please stop with the bullshit about how industry or academia is "more rigorous" than the other. And I have used OpenAI products since the early days. A lot can be said about how "rigorous" a lot of it is. So let's not open that can of worms. 18/18
Stanford's Regulation, Evaluation and Governance Lab, led by SLS Professor Daniel Ho, is harnessing AI to streamline San Francisco's municipal code. A collaboration with City Attorney David Chiu could cut outdated reporting requirements significantly. stanford.io/3ZUtp3l
Early signs of cognitive decline are often invisible to healthcare providers. @StanfordHAI Faculty Affiliate @eadeli's research offers a solution using ambient intelligence, enabling timely interventions. stanford.io/43sJI9Y

We're hosting @Diyi_Yang today @mbzuai! I always find her research inspiring and having her here has been a real treat. Her work on human-AI interaction proposes sensible use cases where humans are key part of the solution. #NLProc
A groundbreaking article (IMO) that only now got its 100th citation (15 years later). scholar.google.com/citations?view…
