New work w/ Jordan Taylor (Mostly On 🦋) Sarah Fox Sherry Tongshuang Wu Haiyi Zhu on how harm/benefits of generative AI depend on context of use We show 3 cases of how global content filters hinder beneficial uses & coin "green teaming" as bypassing filters for good uses: 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2306.03097

We critique "harms" & "flaws" in general-purpose AI. Instead of marketing generative AI as mostly good with occasional flaws, we should accept "flaws" & design with them - for education, satire, subversion. Not for writing legal cases or replacing your therapist.

✨I'm on the job market I work on human-centered and participatory AI, mostly around digital mental health and public algorithms I'm especially interested in postdocs, nonprofits, LACs, & small universities. But I'm not picky - I just want to keep doing good work w good people!

👀 Project 28 if you want to work with us on mental health research! We are looking for motivated students to help us build new tech for practicing everyday mindfulness and emotional regulation! ✨ we can’t wait to get started to collaborate with and mentor cool undergrad(s) ✨

we’re especially excited to support undergrads in having ownership over research. and if they want, to be just as much a mentee as they are an equally respected collaborator with creative expression and agency! 🤗

Project #18 We are looking for undergraduates to work with us during the summer :) We are excited to work with undergraduates passionate about research!
