Announcing the Microsoft Research Forum on 4 June! I'll be speaking on the challenges/opportunities of large AI models for blind users, and on what it will take to realise Equitable AI (alongside a panel of my wonderful colleagues). Register to join in!🤩 aka.ms/AAq6ybf

Just over a week left to apply to our #CHI2025 #workshop on Tools for Thought 👇👇👇

📢 per popular demand, we've extended our submission deadline for our #CHI2025 workshop to Thurs Feb 20th AoE 🙂

How does using GenAI tools reshape knowledge workers’ critical thinking? Our #CHI2025 paper studied 319 knowledge workers to dive into this question. w/ Advait Sarkar Lev Tankelevitch Ian Drosos Sean Rintel Richard Banks, and Nick Wilson Microsoft Research CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute 📝microsoft.com/en-us/research…

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

Second time in 2 months Ocado has cancelled my order at the last minute. No longer recommending this service to anyone.

Can't think of a better time for this talk... My teammate Advait Sarkar has made a powerful case for why we should design AI to augment our🧠 rather than think for us. Moreover, we have a vision for how we might get there. If you want to know what our team has been up to...👇

Please RT: Reminder that I'm recruiting MSc and PhD students to join my lab at UAlberta focusing on Human–AI Interaction. Come shape the future of AI-assisted programming tools for better productivity and learning! Apply here: ualberta.ca/en/computing-s… Deadline: December 15
