1) Thrilled to be at #Facct2025 for the first time this week, representing a meta-research paper on positionality statements at FAccT from 2018-2024, in collaboration with Solon Barocas (@s010n) and Akshansh Pareek.
Today, I’m thrilled to share the public launch of AXL, a new venture studio building the next generation of AI-powered companies, right here in Canada.
📢 I successfully defended my PhD dissertation today! Huge thanks to my committee @orussakovsky@andresmh@jennwvaughan@QVeraLiao@parastooabtahi & everyone who supported me ❤️
📢 Next I'll be joining Apple as a research scientist in the Responsible AI team led by Jeff Bigham!

Thrilled to share that our paper "To Rely or Not to Rely? Evaluating Interventions for Appropriate Reliance on Large Language Models" received an Honorable Mention at #CHI2025! 🔥

While there are big crowds on the "AI hurts learning" train, let's realize that's like saying "computers hurt learning"
Two papers where unaided learners do better after AI interaction:
arxiv.org/abs/2502.02880ssrn.com/abstract=46416…
Appropriate reliance is key to safe and successful user interactions with LLMs. But what shapes user reliance on LLMs, and how can we foster appropriate reliance?
In our #CHI2025 paper, we explore these questions through two user studies.

Our paper is out today in @PNASNews! 🎉 In a large-scale experiment on a YouTube-like platform, we find that giving people politically “slanted” video recs doesn’t shift beliefs or viewing behaviors.
In other words, online filter bubbles may not be as polarizing as we think…
