🚨 Studies are starting to show what many of us feared: AI use might lead to overreliance and human disempowerment. Below is the SHOCKING conclusion of this particular study [download for future reference]: "1. We surveyed 319 knowledge workers who use GenAI tools (e.g.,

📣New preprint!📣We’ve long known humans tend to anthropomorphize computers. But with the rise of social AI applications, like AI companions, studying this is now more crucial than ever. We introduce a new method for *empirically evaluating* anthropomorphic behaviors in LLMs🧵

Very proud of our 📣 new paper on Measuring Anthropomorphism in LLMs! This new multi-turn evaluation & large-scale human study led by Lujain Ibrahim لجين إبراهيم is a key step in better understanding what factors make people perceive LLMs as more "human-like". 🧵

I recently gave one of the best talks of my whole career, and thankfully it was recorded, so I figured I share that here! Thoughts/ideas/questions welcome! scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/…

What are 3 concrete steps that can improve AI safety in 2025? 🤖⚠️ Our new paper, “In House Evaluation is Not Enough” has 3 calls-to-action to empower independent evaluators: 1️⃣ Standardized AI flaw reports 2️⃣ AI flaw disclosure programs + safe harbors. 3️⃣ A coordination

Great coverage of our new position paper by Will Knight! Together with 30+ experts from AI, cybersecurity, law & policy we propose 3 ways we think the AI safety & security ecosystem should improve in 2025. wired.com/story/ai-resea…

In the latest Science, Henry Farrell, Cosma Shailizi, James Evans and I make the case for LLM's as powerful, transformative cultural and social technologies, ways for people to learn from other people, rather than intelligent agents. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

📢 New paper with Iason Gabriel is out! 2025 is being called the year of AI agents, with overwhelming headlines about them every day. But we lack a shared vocabulary to distinguish their fundamental properties. Our paper aims to bridge this gap. A 🧵
