New AI Snake Oil essay with Angelina Wang @angelinawang.bsky.social, Sayash Kapoor, and Solon Barocas — we analyze the UK's liver transplant matching algorithm that's been reported to make it nearly impossible for patients under 45 to get a liver. In this thread I'll summarize what we learned. aisnakeoil.com/p/does-the-uks…

📣 New paper: AI depends on immense resources, mostly controlled by large companies. This means "open" AI… isn't very open. 📄 From me, Meredith Whittaker and Sarah Myers West in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share that I just finished my PhD at MIT EECS and will be joining CMU as an Assistant Professor next year! A huge thank you to the village of people who guided and mentored me along the way, from my family to my advisors Aleksander Madry and devavrat shah (1/3)

Tonight I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

Current generative AI models often ignore crucial demographic distinctions, resulting in misleading outputs. A new study calls for a shift towards difference and context awareness: stanford.io/3Qh0kdq

Excited to share that our paper is now out in PNASNews! 🎉 Check it out: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Code and data: github.com/baixuechunzi/l… Big shoutout to my amazing coauthors Angelina Wang @angelinawang.bsky.social Ilia Sucholutsky Griffiths Computational Cognitive Science Lab!

What makes writing interesting? Can an LLM do it? Does we need a human to feel its worth choosing each word or to shape it w/individual experience? Can it be interesting w/out intention? Does it require inner conflict? I have lots of questions, no answers statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2025/02/25/wha…

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. 1/7

This is a very practical and useful resource from Angelina Wang @angelinawang.bsky.social! I highly recommend folks read this because my experience is most folks in CS and ML have a warped and seriously impoverished understanding of fairness (e.g. fairness only means match accuracy across groups).

For those who have requested the video, my HAI seminar “Beyond Benchmarks: Building a Science of AI Measurement” is up! I discuss some of Stanford Trustworthy AI Research (STAIR) Lab’s latest work aimed at improving AI measurement foundations towards real-world impact. youtu.be/PkuoEJn6PlA?si…

🚨🚨New Working Paper🚨🚨 AI-generated content is getting more politically persuasive. But does labeling it as AI-generated change its impact?🤔 Our research says the disclosure of AI authorship has little to no effect on the persuasiveness of AI-generated content. 🧵1/6

The US government recently flagged my scientific grant in its "woke DEI database". Many people have asked me what I will do. My answer today in nature. We will not be cowed. We will keep using AI to build a fairer, healthier world. nature.com/articles/d4158…
