Hidden In Plain Gaze: Gaze Representations as Privacy Controls for Utility and Re-identification Risk in XR

This work studies whether gaze data representation choice can serve as a lightweight privacy control at feature extraction, before adding perturbation or formal privacy mechanisms, and compares three gaze representations under matched model capacity.

Label Over Logic? How Source Cues Bias Human Fallacy Judgments More Than LLMs

As AI-generated and AI-assisted content floods online spaces, source labels attached to such content can distort human reasoning judgments, with downstream consequences for moderation, evaluation, and decision-making. Whether LLMs share this vulnerability, or offer more source-agnostic evaluation, remains an open quest...

The Fake Friend Dilemma: Relational Trust and the Political Economy of Conversational AI

As conversational AI systems become a larger part of the media landscape, they raise questions about whose interests they serve and the risks they may pose to users. These systems do more than provide information: they increasingly offer advice and companionship through interfaces that can appear supportive and sociall...

Role-Aware Artificial Intelligence Across Augmentation and Automation in Human-Machine Symbiosis

The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has rendered the boundary between humanity and computational machinery increasingly ambiguous. In the presence of more interwoven relationships within human-machine symbiosis, the very notion of AI-generated information becomes difficult to define, as such information arise...

Diffusion TV: Experiencing Diffusion Models through Tangible, Embodied Interaction

Diffusion TV is an interactive AI art installation that offers a tangible and embodied experience of diffusion models through a modified CRT TV. By physically manipulating the TV's antenna, audiences control the clarity of AI-generated images and sounds, metaphorically enacting the denoising process that underlies diff...

How a Chatbot's Response Style Shapes a Classroom: A Multi-Agent Simulation of Students Consulting AI

A virtual classroom of 20 student agents who interact through rule-based chats, quarrels and consultations with friends and, when stressed, may instead consult a counselor AI under one of six style prompts, specifying the agent dynamics completely and discussing the limits of an LLM as generator of state updates.

You Really Didn't Get That? Benchmarking Social Pragmatic Inference for Indirect and Playful Chinese Online Comments

A benchmark for evaluating whether LLMs can recover situated pragmatic meanings in Chinese online comments is introduced, and case analysis shows that models often recognize broad irony or playfulness while misidentifying the mechanism or interactional move.

From Perception to Cognition: How Latency Affects Interaction Fluency and Social Presence in VR Conferencing

Virtual reality (VR) conferencing has the potential to provide geographically dispersed users with an immersive environment, enabling rich social interactions and user experience using avatars. However, remote communication in VR inevitably introduces end-to-end (E2E) latency, which can significantly impact user experi...

What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.  The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
