Excited to share a new article I wrote with colleagues from DeepMind - "Levels of AGI: Operationalizing Progress on the Path to AGI" -
arxiv.org
We propose a framework for classifying the capabilities and behavior of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) models and their precursors. This framework introduces levels of AGI performance,...

You can learn more about the concept of Generative Ghosts in this article I co-authored with @whatknows -
arxiv.org
As AI systems quickly improve in both breadth and depth of performance, they lend themselves to creating increasingly powerful and realistic agents, including the possibility of agents modeled on...

Loved tonight's screening of #Sweetwater - https://t.co/bOKgyhw4y6 - an interesting vision of one possible #GenerativeGhosts future! #AIonScreen

My wife and I never imagined our conservative family would end in a federal prosecution for trying to produce a TV series that brings light to the Government corruption in Hawaii... We’re one of thousands of forgotten Americans left out of the clemency conversation.

Why the U.S. pardon system rewards fame over fairness — and how President Trump has a chance to fix it.

Very proud of our 📣 new paper on Measuring Anthropomorphism in LLMs! This new multi-turn evaluation & large-scale human study led by @lujainmibrahim is a key step in better understanding what factors make people perceive LLMs as more "human-like". 🧵
📣New preprint!📣We’ve long known humans tend to anthropomorphize computers. But with the rise of social AI applications, like AI companions, studying this is now more crucial than ever. We introduce a new method for *empirically evaluating* anthropomorphic behaviors in LLMs🧵

Excited to share this new work that shares a new method for creating realistic generative agents that can be used for synthetic social science. Such a pleasure to work with lead author @joon_s_pk
Simulating human behavior with AI agents promises a testbed for policy and the social sciences. We interviewed 1,000 people for two hours each to create generative agents of them. These agents replicate their source individuals’ attitudes and behaviors. 🧵 https://t.co/FOVcOQduXO

Excited for our #CSCW2024 panel at 2:30 pm today in the Heredia room - "Is Human-AI Interaction CSCW?" This will be presented as a formal debate with me and @msbernst competing against @andresmh and @jeffbigham

Excited that some of the research from the #SpeakFaster project on using large language models to accelerate eye gaze typing for people with ALS has been published in Nature Communications:
nature.com
Nature Communications - Individuals with severe motor impairments use gaze to type and communicate. This paper presents a large language model-based user interface that enables gaze typing in...

Imagine a future where humans interact with increasingly human-like and agentic AI assistants. What would it mean for human-AI assistant relationships to be appropriate? Our new @AIESConf paper explores this question! https://t.co/jNI7MhgLxH 4⃣ Key insights below #aies2024

"Prompting Considered Harmful," by @merrierm (@GoogleDeepMind), says prompt-based interfaces are non-optimal for end users, and risky for AI experts building apps and #research atop a shaky foundation of #prompt #engineering. https://t.co/PCIZMhKpxs

@asbruckman @msbernst @jeffbigham @andresmh And other similarly controversial statements. It will be a formal, old-school debate with sides randomly drawn and questions from the audience that teams must respond to.

@asbruckman @msbernst @jeffbigham @andresmh CSCW should expand to include papers about only AIs collaborating with each other (no humans at all)
