Thrilled to see our #CHI2024 paper on the 🧠Metacognitive Demands and Opportunities of Generative AI receive a Best Paper award!🥳 arxiv.org/abs/2312.10893 We bring together psych/cog sci research on metacognition and GenAI user studies to examine usability in GenAI systems...🧵

Just in time for #CHI2024, #Microsoft has just announced new research funding for exploring how AI will shape the future of work! Could your CHI paper be the seed for an unrestricted grant of up to USD$50k? Proposals are due June 3rd. microsoft.com/en-us/research…

Have you ever wondered “Why are we here!!?” during a meeting? I’ll be talking about purposeless meetings, attention hogging, fears of accountability, and much more today at 11.15am, room 324! Hoping for collective carthasis at #CHI2024 🤞 programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024/progr…

Catch Lev Tankelevitch’s Best Paper “The Metacognitive Demands of Generative AI” at 2pm in Room 320! One of two great full #CHI2024 papers from my team at Microsoft Research today.

Hey #CHI2024, now that you’re fuelled up from the break, catch Ava’s paper “Mental Models of Meeting Goals: Supporting Intentionality in Meeting Technologies” at 11:15am in Room 324! Great work from my team at Microsoft Research!

Manny hugely influenced my career. He was a co-author on the seminal “A Simplest Systematics for the Organization of Turn-Taking for Conversation”. He also steered me to Ruhleder & Jordan’s delay-generated trouble in videoconferencing paper, which was key to my PhD. Vale.

My team’s work on goal-driven adaptive meeting interfaces, lead by Payod Panda and our great intern Gun Woo (Warren) Park shows great promise for how GenAI can customize UI to make meetings more purposeful. They’ll be presenting it at #DIS2024 this coming week!

Our short piece in the USC Annenberg 2025 Relevance Report proposes that the next #ResponsibleAI challenge is to develop #ToolsForThought - AI systems that protect and augment human judgement. Look out for our upcoming #chi2025 papers and workshop at aka.ms/toolsforthought

Our #CHI2025 Tools for Thought #workshop is open for sign-up! Help us explore the potential that AI has for critical thinking, metacognition, decision-making, diversity of creativity, and more.

Join us at CHI 2025 to explore how AI systems can be used as Tools for Thought as we reimage AI’s role in human thinking. Learn about new research, prototypes, and a workshop on designing AI that supports critical thinking, decision-making, and creativity: msft.it/6016qhMFs

Meetings often drift off-track. Can AI help us reflect in the moment and realign? Our #CHI2025 paper explores how AI-assisted interventions influence goal reflection during workplace meetings. w/Lev Tankelevitch Rishi Vanukuru Payod Panda Sean Rintel Ava

📢 AI is changing the way we create, learn, & reason. But is it augmenting human cognition, or dulling it? Please submit your ideas to our #HCI Special Issue: Generative AI in Tools for Thought. Abstract Deadline: Oct 10, 2025 → tinyurl.com/t4tcfp

At #CHI2025, we ran a workshop on 🧠Tools for Thought: Research and Design for Understanding, Protecting, and Augmenting Human Cognition with #GenerativeAI What are the #HCI research+design opps in this space? 👉Read our new synthesis of the workshop: arxiv.org/abs/2508.21036
