You’ll learn the reasons why most AI project fail. You'll leave with new tools (like the matchmaking technique to connect user needs with AI capabilities), new perspectives, and a clearer path to creating trustworthy AI that actually works - for users, teams, and for the world.

HCI PhD student @mollyn_paan & advisor @hciprof trained cameras in a standard AR/VR headset to recognize touches mimicking touchscreen gestures on skin areas like the arm and hand. The duo is also exploring opportunities with other applications & surfaces. #UIST2024 @SCSatCMU
Researchers in @cmuhcii are revolutionizing AR/VR interfaces at the tip of a finger – literally. ☝️ EgoTouch uses AI to turn your skin into a touch-sensitive control surface, making virtual reality more intuitive and immersive. ➡️ https://t.co/wKdu5rXjS8

In a @newscientist article, @VickiTurk cites recent work from a research team featuring Professor Sauvik Das (@scyrusk) of @CyLab and @cmuhcii that investigated common datasets used to train generative audio #AI:
newscientist.com
Seven major datasets used to train audio-generating AI models are three times more likely to use the words "man" or "men" than "woman" or "women", raising fears of bias
