AI Tools Adoption across the Double Diamond Workflow: Phase, Mode, and Barriers in Designer Practice

This survey of 443 designers, among the first phase-disaggregated accounts of its kind, examined reported AI use across the four phases of the Double Diamond workflow, pointing to two distinct modes of human-AI collaboration: generating from scratch versus refining within existing software.

When Models Choose the Question: Pedagogical Constraints in Bottom-Up Multi-Agent Inquiry

What shapes a model-generated inquiry when no discussion question is supplied? We introduce a bottom-up forum framework inspired by Philosophy for Children, in which language-model agents read a philosophical narrative, propose and select questions, and develop a shared conclusion without a privileged model facilitator...

Exploring the Affordances of Generative Image AI for Supporting Early-stage Architect-client Communication

Text-to-image generative AI can produce renderings from natural-language prompts in near real time, making it increasingly popular for rapidly visualizing concepts in early-stage architectural design. Meanwhile, exchanging ideas efficiently and building shared understanding have long been central challenges in architec...

HiThink Turn: An Intent-Aware Turn-Taking Control Module for Full-Duplex Dialogue

Full-duplex dialogue requires timely yet selective interruption handling, which end-of-turn prediction alone cannot achieve: complete utterances may need no response, while unfinished requests may warrant interruption. To address this challenge, we propose HiThink Turn, an intent-aware streaming turn-state predictor th...

StructSim: Measuring Idea Similarity at Scale Through Structural Representation

This work introduces a shared structural representation that decomposes ideas into purpose, mechanism, and implementation components and organizes related components in a multi-layer concept graph and defines measures of pairwise similarity and set-level mechanism coverage for assessing idea diversity.

"Is This Book AI-Generated?" How Authorship Suspicion Manifests in Marketplace Reviews

As AI becomes part of how books are authored, reader response to suspected AI authorship grows more consequential, yet remains unexamined. We analyze 863 low-star reviews of 78 Amazon bestsellers across 8 categories at three levels of proximity to AI. Suspicion concentrates in Generative AI books (35.1%) but appears in...

ReVision: Supporting Designers'Interpretation and Exploration of Visuals in Concepts and Forms

ReVision is presented, an AI-based tool that decomposes visual and textual references into editable conceptual interpretations and visual motifs, enables their recombination across conceptual and visual spaces, and renders each direction as divergent visual-form variations, supporting more divergent exploration during...

Accounting for Stochasticity in Studies of Large Language Model Refusal

We present preliminary empirical evidence that single-observation queries are insufficient for evaluations of LLM refusal behaviors. Using a longitudinal auditing system, we issued identical prompts 100 times each across four dates to GPT-4.1 for two socially salient topics across 20 Wikipedia sources. Refusal outcomes...

Characterizing Memory Misalignment in Human-LLM Interaction From User Perspectives

A mixed-methods investigation to characterize and mitigate memory misalignment from user perspectives, which highlights the tension between supervisory agency and interaction overhead, and advocates for friction-aware memories that balance user oversight with conversation smoothness.

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.
