#CSCW2025 feels extra special because I get to watch my first PhD student present our work on using Socratic LLMs to help people think outside of their potentially cognitively-biased perspectives when annotating data.
Join us on Wed @ 9am (Room: Klokkeklang) to hear from @malik-khadar.bsky.social!

Sad to miss #FAccT2025 in person next week, but very excited for @malik-khadar.bsky.social to present our work on measurement of user characteristics for decision-making in XAI-assisted settings. It's also Malik's first conference -- please say hi to him if you're in Athens next week.
Why do we keep measuring user characteristics for XAI like it’s a straight line when it’s a tangled web? At #FAccT2025, I’m presenting my first paper (advised by @harmankaur.bsky.social) on how we can rethink measurement for a fuller picture. Read: bit.ly/4la41yG

Sad to miss #CHI2025 in person. @masooman.bsky.social will be presenting remotely on Wednesday, results from an interesting cross-level study with design students (pre- and post-genAI) and professionals to understand their different value systems and usage with respect to generative AI in design.
Excited to present my first paper at #CHI2025 advised by @harmankaur.bsky.social . We have uncovered a fascinating value system rift between designers, with experience levels shaping how they navigate creativity, ownership, and AI integration.

Writing is thinking.
It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

Last week I gave a talk titled "When Data Is People: Ethics, Privacy and Ownership in Research & AI Uses of Public Data" that tied together this research ethics work with generative AI training data and also copyright. Here's one of the final slides.
