ForkSCOPE: Charting the Agentic Garden of Forking Paths

Even with a fixed dataset and research question, data analysis involves many defensible decisions. Understanding how these choices influence the results is scientifically important but remains challenging. Crowdsourcing and agentic AI can generate hundreds of end-to-end analyses, but scaling generation alone can create...

"I Felt Very Seen, But Still Very Alone": Longitudinal Trajectories of General-Purpose LLM Use for Socioemotional Support

People increasingly use general-purpose chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for mental health and emotional support. We report a multi-stage longitudinal qualitative study of 18 U.S. adults, conducted from April to December 2025, combining initial interviews, a four-week diary study, focus groups, and exit int...

"People can change, and patterns can be broken": Contextualizing Tradeoffs in Automated Decision-Making Systems

Automated decision-making (ADM) systems are increasingly deployed in domains such as mortgage lending, prison sentencing, health insurance coverage, and hiring. Designing a responsible ADM system in such high-stakes domains requires ensuring privacy protection, fairness across demographic groups, and robustness against...

Plans They Abandon, Reports They Author: The Narrative Layer of Autonomous Agents

When a coding agent finishes a task, the developer reviews a summary the agent wrote about itself, not a display someone designed. We ask how much of the agent's work that summary carries, and whether it drifts toward the plan the agent stated when execution departed from it. Across 5,851 real developer sessions and 35...

"The Only Thing Certain About This is Uncertainty": Exploring Informal Care Coordination Practices Among Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Older adults aging in place often have informal support systems to help them maintain independence and quality of life. As they age, many older adults deal with the onset of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), which introduces a new set of functional and cognitive changes that affect their ability to manage daily routines...

From Information to Delegation: Mapping Human-AI Financial Decision Making

A behavioural measurement framework combining intent and delegated decision authority is introduced to quantify what consumers seek from AI and how much decision-making authority they assign to it, finding that financial services are already a substantial AI use case.

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.
