Interactive narrative (IN) authors craft spaces of divergent narrative possibilities for players to explore, with the player's input determining which narrative possibilities they actually experience. Generative AI can enable new forms of IN by improvisationally expanding on pre-authored content in response to open-end...

We propose MADS (Multi-Agent Dialogue Simulation), a scalable framework for generating persuasive multi-turn dialogues via agent self-play. MADS employs three coordinated agents: User Agents designed to simulate diverse persona-driven behaviors by leveraging personality signifiers such as Zodiac Signs and MBTI types, a...
Animation and VFX pre-production review requires teams to translate loosely specified creative intent--briefs, evolving specifications, heterogeneous references, and verbal decisions--into revisions that junior artists can execute without repeated clarification. In practice, criteria drift across iterations, review jud...

Cybersecurity incidents such as data breaches have become increasingly common, affecting millions of users and organizations worldwide. The complexity of cybersecurity threats challenges the effectiveness of existing security communication strategies. Through a systematic review of over 3,400 papers, we identify specif...

As robots become increasingly integrated into various industries, understanding how humans respond to robotic failures is critical. This study systematically examines trust dynamics and system design by analyzing human reactions to robot failures. We conducted a four-stage survey to explore how trust evolves throughout...
Generative design interfaces increasingly expose semantic controls that let users steer output with concepts such as"more elegant"or"more minimalist,"typically encoded by a vision-language model (VLM). A practical question is whether state-of-the-art VLMs represent objects consistently in terms of the same concept. We...

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in digital games, players' attitudes de-pend not only on whether AI is used, but also on where and how it intervenes in gameplay. This study examines players' evaluative patterns toward eight AI application contexts, including intelligent NPCs, emergent narrative, dynamic balancing,...

Dependency graphs that show how definitions, theorems, and proofs relate to each other are valuable for understanding the structure of mathematical texts. Existing tools such as Lean Blueprint and plasTeXdepgraph generate such graphs within formal proof ecosystems, but they require familiarity with proof assistants or...

Video see-through (VST) technology aims to seamlessly blend the virtual and physical worlds by reconstructing reality through cameras. However, while manufacturers promise high perceptual fidelity, it remains unclear how closely recent commercial VST systems preserve basic visual functions across environmental conditio...

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.
