People escalate against a competitor labelled human and hold back against one labelled an optimising machine

People increasingly compete against AI agents rather than other human opponents. We distinguish two channels: an opponent effect and an information effect. These are different elements with different consequences: the opponent effect is specific to a given computational system, the information effect a property of the...

AESSI: An Around-Ear Silent Speech Interface for Cross-Day Online Reuse without Test-Day Calibration

Silent speech interfaces (SSIs) enable private communication without audible speech and may support people with post-stroke dysarthria. Everyday reuse requires articulation-related representations that generalize across days despite sensor repositioning and physiological changes. We present AESSI, an around-ear SSI usi...

Two's a Crowd: Human and AI-Based Copresence for Developers with ADHD

Effective collaboration and communication are vital to developer productivity and well-being, yet remain constrained by human factors such as attention, intrinsic motivation, and interpersonal accountability. These constraints are particularly vital for developers identifying with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disord...

Self-Care and Mental Health: Mapping Over A Decade of HCI Interventions

Technology increasingly supports self-care for understanding and improving one's own mental health. HCI is at the center of the turn towards self-care technology, yet we lack an account of who these interventions serve, what practices they support, how technology mediates those practices, and assumptions underlying des...

Human Driver Temperament and the Safety Impact of a C-V2X Denial-of-Service Flooding Attack in Mixed-Autonomy Traffic

Cooperative and connected automated vehicles (CAVs) rely on Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) messages to cross signalized intersections; a denial-of-service (DoS) flood that blocks SPaT forces CAVs into a fail-safe mode. Because human-driven vehicles share the intersection, the safety consequence depends not only on the...

Exploring Text Classification Models with Sparse Autoencoders

As language models (LMs) rise in prominence, there is interest in making them more transparent in order to better understand their internal behavior. Recent interpretability work has focused on using sparse autoencoders (SAEs) to break down neuron activations at a given layer in the LM into human-understandable feature...

Decoding the Dashboard: Data Comics to Support Students' Understanding of Learning Analytics Visualisations

Learning analytics dashboards (LADs) are intended to help students make sense of their learning data to support reflection and decision-making. However, their visualisations can be complex, particularly for students with low visualisation literacy. Narrative techniques, such as annotated charts and data comics, have be...

Understanding How Educators Configure GenAI Support for Open-Ended Learning -- An Exploratory Study of K-12 Career Exploration

How GenAI systems can support educators in expressing and testing configurations, while establishing boundaries around personalization, inference, persistence, disclosure, and action to keep AI-supported learning aligned with evolving learner needs is discussed.

Gricea: An Open Science Platform for Conversational AI Research

We need studies on conversational AI (CAI) at scale to understand human behavior and shape CAI design. However, fragmented reporting of systems and study configurations hinders replication, extension, and knowledge accumulation. We present Gricea, an open-science platform representing studies as configurable, deployabl...

When Should a Failing Robot Ask? Initiating Corrective Human-Robot Dialogue from Audited Sensor Evidence

A robot that fails at a task faces the first decision in corrective dialogue: act on its own diagnosis, consult another onboard sensor, or interrupt a person. Choosing well requires knowing how much the robot's sensors reveal about the cause and how reliable the robot's own diagnosis is. We build a simulated benchmark...

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.
