Yuzhou Tao Congrats

Congratulations Yuzhou Tao very cool approach to agenda setting!

## ICA Pre-Conference "The Future of Computational Message Science: Theoretical Advances, Computational Frontiers, and Grand Societal Challenges" I will talk about AI interventions! Registration closing today! icahdq.org/event/computat…; program details here: sites.google.com/northwestern.e…

Happy graduation Haoning Xue! Will miss you from Davis. All the best for your tenure track journey at the University of Utah! CHATR Lab at UC Davis 4th PhD graduate👩🏻‍🎓

🧨We (Yingdan_Lu) are so excited to organize "Image-as-Data Methods in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence" #ICA24 ICA Comp Methods! Our speakers will share computational methods for studying AI-Generated Images to understand misinformation and equity. Check our panel below👇

Thanks to all wonderful organizers of the preconf on future of computational messaging🫶🏼; Paper link for my slide on AI vulnerability to human persuasion arxiv.org/abs/2401.06373; paper link for AI chatbot behavior change model jmir.org/2020/9/e22845/

Excited to be in Gold Coast for #ica24 from June 20-25! I'll be presenting a fact-checking study with Jingwen Zhang Dr. Xinzhi Zhang 10:30 on 06/21. Feel free to DM or catch me at receptions 😊

Our new paper explains why some life outcomes are hard to predict. We combined machine learning, a mathematical decomposition, and in-depth qualitative interviews to understand the origins of unpredictability: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Wow!

So happy and inspired to see other scholars are testing our theoretical framework on AI chatbot behavior change! 🤩It used a large scale survey and tested the mediating roles of relational vs task capacities and found some support for the model. More needs to follow!

See you IC2S2! Still remember Dirk Helbing’s talk at the inaugural IC2S2 10 years ago in Helsinki. Time flies!

ICA Health Comm Division Officer Nominations close tomorrow! Email nominations to Dr. Janelle Applequist ([email protected]) by 26 July 5pm (EDT). subject line “ICA Health Communication Division Nomination,” indicate the position you are running for, and mark email “important”

The 2024 APHA PHEHP Section Award submissions are due next week!  All award nominations should be submitted no later than August 16, 2024using this Google Form: forms.gle/baib1ujiuM37GJ…; check out the several awards categories below!👇🏼

Congrats team! Very honored to be part of this effort. Attention comm scholars, these two ACL top papers are all about AI, LLM, and persuasion!

Join our annual Meet the Lab event and learn what HMC scholars are currently working on in the field of HMC/HRI/AI!

Congratulations Haoning Xue You are a rockstar. Let’s keep the momentum and get the work out soon!

🚀 Draft schedule for #IC2S2 2025 (July 21–24) is here. Explore four days packed with inspiration. Review your slot, plan travel, and flag any conflicts—minor tweaks are still possible. See the program here: ic2s2-2025.org/program/. The poster scheduling will follow next week!
