📢 AI is changing the way we create, learn, & reason.
But is it augmenting human cognition, or dulling it?
Please submit your ideas to our #HCI Special Issue: Generative AI in Tools for Thought.
Abstract Deadline: Oct 10, 2025 → tinyurl.com/t4tcfp

Congratulations @momins.bsky.social for your honorable mention award at #CHI2025
Current AI-assisted writing interfaces are disruptive. They are either too rigid, too complex, or chat-based, forcing writers into an unnatural back-and-forth. Momin @momins.bsky.social developed a new layered interface paradigm that makes AI-assisted writing more intuitive #CHI2025 [1/n] 👇

🤔Giving complex tasks to AI agents is easy—getting them to do exactly what you want isn’t. How can human-AI collaboration give us more reliable & steerable agents?

Shortcomings of Visualizations for Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning
While visualizations can help developers better design, train, and understand their models, new research shows gaps between ambitions and evidence.
