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...
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...

GUIDE (GenUI Development Environment), a system that lets designers continuously inspect and refine GenUI behavior as they create and edit interfaces through prompt optimization and a novel adaptive conformance scoring model, is introduced.

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...

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...
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...

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...

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...

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.

Using Value Sensitive Design, 73,093 first-person Reddit posts about using OpenClaw are analyzed, each for its human value, agent aspect, value fulfillment, and user outcome, to conceptualize this pattern as value-sensitive delegation.

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...

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...
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.

Able to defeat top-ranked human players and more efficient than other models, the new system could help decision-makers in military maneuvers or business negotiations.
Computer scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist will collaborate with the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing to advance AI and scientific discovery.
