Science-fiction interfaces are often reproduced for their appearance, and their diagnostic logic is rarely rebuilt around real data. Here we describe Santiago's A.T. Field, an interactive visualization of urban accessibility built from a diagnostic interface in Episode 13 of Neon Genesis Evangelion. We translated that...
AI-assisted cyber situational awareness triggers machine-generated reasoning traces (step-by-step justifications for anomaly classifications) that a human operator is expected to review. Because cyber signals and their traces arrive faster than any operator can process, human review is the limiting constraint on oversi...

Security and privacy notifications, such as login alerts, spam email warnings, and cookie consent requests, play a critical role in shaping users' responses to digital risks. Yet most notifications overlook cognitive accessibility, limiting their effectiveness for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities...

A theory draws many independent observations into one framework with novel hypotheses. A researcher building such a theory must synthesize observations scattered across many papers, each describing related concepts but often in different terms. Which concepts matter most also depends on their preferences and research q...

Using behavioural science, health interventions focus on behaviour change by providing a framework to help patients acquire and maintain healthy habits that improve medical outcomes. In-person interventions are costly and difficult to scale, especially in resource-limited regions. Digital health interventions offer a c...

Uncomfortable sensations similar to motion sickness, called cybersickness, can develop when using Virtual Reality (VR) head-mounted displays. Cybersickness poses a hindrance to greater use of VR technology. Brain activity recorded using electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used to unintrusively detect cybersickness and th...

Streaming sensor applications routinely suffer from delayed or missing observations caused by faults, communication losses, or environmental interference. Although recent imputation methods exploit temporal and spatial dependencies effectively, most either assume offline access to future observations or prioritize thro...

Human activity recognition (HAR) from wrist-worn accelerometers is increasingly used for health and behavioral tracking. Yet, most wearable HAR models are developed and evaluated on datasets dominated by younger adults, leaving it unclear whether benchmark progress generalizes across age groups. In this work, we levera...

Generating a game is not the same as making one playable. Existing code-generation approaches often translate a prompt directly into an artifact, leaving interaction-level failures undetected. We argue that game generation requires a player and study two roles for graphical user interface (GUI) agents. First, we introd...
The wide adoption of AI agents in complex human workflows is driving rapid growth in LLM token consumption. When agents are deployed on tasks that require a significant amount of tokens, three questions naturally arise: (1) Where do AI agents spend the tokens? (2) Which models are more token-efficient? and (3) Can agen...

A recent Nature Medicine study reported that ChatGPT Health under-triages 51.6% of emergencies and concluded that consumer-facing AI triage poses safety risks. Its protocol, however, was an exam-style scaffold (forced A/B/C/D output, knowledge suppression, no clarifying questions) unlike how consumers use health chatbo...

In a world of accelerating change, there is a need for wise and adaptive human reasoning. Integrating AI capabilities with human guidance offers promise, though human reasoning itself is often hasty, shortsighted, and error-prone, and no clear framework exists for combining human reasoning strategies with AI across div...
Students in MIT’s Concourse program delve deeply into the human condition, debate challenging questions, and learn to develop judgment about issues that can’t be quantified.
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.
