Real-time Learning and Evolution in Robotic Art Installations

Three robotic art installations which explore the aesthetics of adaptive behavior use learning and evolutionary processes not as a means to optimize a specific solution, but as an aesthetic experience on its own, suggesting new modes of interdisciplinary art-science research.

When Can You Trust Your Synthetic Users? Diagnostics and Corrections for LLM Consumer Panels

Large language models are increasingly deployed as synthetic consumer panels, promising $97\%$ cost reductions over traditional surveys. Yet aggregate validation metrics conceal systematic failures: variance compression, coefficient sign-flips, subgroup error balloons of 10--30 percentage points, and global corrections...

FriendBench: Benchmarking Dyadic Familiarity Inference in Humans and Multimodal Large Language Models

Reading a social situation often depends on behavior, not words alone. We introduce FriendBench, a benchmark for inferring whether two people are already familiar or are meeting as strangers, from a 20-second clip of a dyadic ice-breaker conversation. Every pair answers the same type of prompt, so only the manner of in...

Agentic AI for Gravitational Wave Data Analysis: A Head-to-Head Comparison of Coding Agents Executing a Matched Filter Pipeline on Einstein Telescope Simulated Data

We report a methodological study of agentic AI in gravitational-wave data analysis: two systems, Claude Code (Anthropic) and Codex (OpenAI), autonomously executed the same simple end-to-end pipeline on Einstein Telescope (ET) simulated data, on shared infrastructure and without human intervention. The object of study i...

The Garden of Forking Paths: Threading Narrative Archetype as a Semantic Signal Through Gameplay Planning

Forking Garden is presented, a branching game generation system that uses narrative archetype as a persistent semantic signal across the generation pipeline, and suggests that propagated Rise/Fall distinctions can remain meaningful during play, while also supporting narrative understanding and creator-oriented interpre...

Efficient Personalization of Generative User Interfaces

Generative user interfaces (GenUIs) create new opportunities to adapt interfaces to individual users on demand. Yet personalization is difficult because it is not possible to provide settings for screens that have not yet been generated, making it necessary to learn preferences from users' feedback on generated interfa...

AI Psychosis: Does Conversational AI Amplify Delusion-Related Language?

Conversational AI systems are increasingly used for personal reflection and emotional disclosure, raising concerns about their effects on vulnerable users. Recent anecdotal reports suggest that prolonged interactions with AI may reinforce delusional thinking---a phenomenon sometimes described as AI Psychosis. However,...

Are explainable AI (XAI) evaluation strategies aligned? Comparing subjective, objective, and mathematical evaluation measures using saliency maps

It is found that each family of methods leads to different conclusions: participants reported no differences in trust or satisfaction, Grad-CAM improved user performance, while mathematical metrics favored Guided Backpropagation, and implications for XAI evaluation frameworks are discussed.

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.
