The rise of AI Companion and how it affects well-being 🤔 Check out work below from Yutong Zhang Dora Zhao 👇 🤖People with less offline support are more likely to seek companionship from AI 🤖 General interaction links to greater well-being, but seeking companionship is tied

There’s a lot of speculation around how AI will change human relationships. To dig into this question, we collect surveys from 1000+ Character.AI users and 400,000+ messages to analyze the relationship between AI companionship and well-being. Preprint:

I can tell that is AI

Are AI scientists already better than human researchers? We recruited 43 PhD students to spend 3 months executing research ideas proposed by an LLM agent vs human experts. Main finding: LLM ideas result in worse projects than human ideas.

🤖 Evaluating Human-AI Systems? Time to raise the bar. Check out SPHERE: An Evaluation Card for Human-AI Systems at ACL 2025 poster! 🗓️ July 28 18:00 📍 Hall X4/X5 🔗 sphere-eval.github.io Let’s talk transparent, rigorous, and human-centric evaluation! #ACL2025NLP #humanai

We’re at #ACL2025 in Vienna!!! Will Held Michael Ryan Dora Zhao Omar Shaikh Catch us at our poster/talk and let’s chat 🔥😀

As you begin to register for #CSCW2025, don't forget to consider workshop application! We have made our workshop registration as low effort as possible :)

If you’re interested in empirical work measuring the relationship between AI companionship and user well-being, check out our work on Character AI. Also happy to chat at #ACL2025 😛

Soon, AI agents will act for us—collaborating, negotiating, and sharing data. But can they truly protect our privacy? We simulate privacy-critical scenarios, using alternating search to evolve attacks and defenses, uncovering severe vulnerabilities and building protections.

Introducing Generative Interfaces - a new paradigm beyond chatbots. We generate interfaces on the fly to better facilitate LLM interaction, so no more passive reading of long text blocks. Adaptive and Interactive: creates the form that best adapts to your goals and needs!
