“Technology is never culturally neutral.” #UWAllen professor @katharinareinecke.bsky.social had her own experience of “digital culture shock” early in her career, which inspired her future research direction and her new book from @princetonupress.bsky.social: www.washington.edu/news/2025/09... 1/2

If you’re fascinated by the intersection of technology & culture, #UWAllen professor @katharinareinecke.bsky.social will talk about her new book, “Digital Culture Shock,” at Ada’s Technical Books & Cafe in Seattle on Tue., Sept. 23: adasbooks.com/event/2025-0... #AI #HCI @princetonupress.bsky.social

Medical #AI errors “can directly impact people’s health and even determine life-altering outcomes.” In @natrevbioeng.nature.com, @chanwoo-kim.bsky.social @sohamgadgil.bsky.social & @suinlee.bsky.social discuss the importance of transparency in medical models. www.washington.edu/news/2025/09...

To help moderators make data-driven decisions on what rules are best for their online communities, #UWAllen researchers conducted the largest-to-date analysis of 67,000+ Reddit rules—and earned the @icwsm.bsky.social Best Paper Award. #ResearchMakesAmerica #HCI news.cs.washington.edu/2025/09/10/a...

UW computer science leaders push back on AI job fears: ‘The sky is not falling’ https://www.geekwire.com/2025/uw-computer-science-leaders-push-back-on-ai-job-fears-the-sky-is-not-falling/

Nothing more fun than working with brilliant students, @uwcse.bsky.social @chanwoo-kim.bsky.social & @sohamgadgil.bsky.social, on our Nature Reviews bioeng. paper!🎉We review challenges & opportunities for making medical AI trustworthy through transparency in data, models & deployment. rdcu.be/eFnIc

"The sky is not falling": With all the chatter about computer science graduates and employment in the #AI era, professors Magda Balazinska and @dangrossmanseattle.bsky.social examine the myths and realities surrounding AI and the prospects for #UWAllen majors. news.cs.washington.edu/2025/09/09/m...

When it comes to #AI, “much of this technology is not yet ready for primetime,” @uofwa.bsky.social #UWAllen’s @edlazowska.bsky.social said. But as a self-professed optimist, he believes we can—and should—maximize its positive uses and help all students to become fluent in it. tvw.org/video/inside...

Companies are pouring billions into humanoid #robotics. In a new @spectrum.ieee.org ‬ op-ed, #UWAllen professor @mayacakmak.bsky.social wonders whether people would really welcome such robots into their homes — and looks forward to taking one for a spin for science. spectrum.ieee.org/home-humanoi...

In 2011, a team of #UWAllen and @ucsandiego.bsky.social researchers showed how they could remotely hack into a car. Their work inspired new motor vehicle security standards to put the brakes on cyberattacks—and earned a #USENIX2025 Test of Time Award. #UWserves news.cs.washington.edu/2025/08/26/a...

Do walkable cities prompt people to take more steps, or do people who want to walk tend to live in more pedestrian-friendly cities? New research from @uwcse.bsky.social found that highly walkable areas lead to significantly more walking. More: bit.ly/4lNxFKh

#UWAllen @uofwa.bsky.social alum Aatish Parson has hit a few bumps in the road since graduation—all the better for building his #AI driven app, CivicScan, that detects potholes and other issues to smooth the way for improved road maintenance. Via @geekwire.com: www.geekwire.com/2025/eyes-an...

“Advances in #AI are going to impact employment in many sectors, and everybody needs to be aware.” #UWAllen’s @edlazowska.bsky.social spoke to @kuow.org about how the “alarmist gloom and doom” around tech employment and the prospects for #CS majors is misplaced: www.kuow.org/stories/does...

Heading to the Seattle Design Festival this weekend? Sat., Aug. 16, pop by @taskarcenter.bsky.social's pop-up experience, Mapping Belonging, to explore the future of mobility with sidewalk-themed games, live mapping tools and more! seattledesidev.wpengine.com/events/2025/... #accessibility #a11y 1/2

“Noise cancellation is a blunt tool, because either you shut everything off, or you let everything in,” #UWAllen professor @gshyam.bsky.social told @slate.com. If you'd like to set your soundscape with precision, an #AI enabled sound bubble might be music to your ears: slate.com/technology/2...

We're launching RampNet, an open-source AI that helps detect curb ramps with near-human accuracy. The most amazing part? The entire project was conceived of and led by high school student John O'Meara. 🧵 A thread on what we built and why it matters.

We're thrilled to be working with colleagues at project lead @ai2.bsky.social and academic partners @unm.edu, University of Hawai'i at Hilo, and University of New Hampshire on this exciting #NSFfunded project that will create open #AI tools to support scientists and their groundbreaking work. 👇

#UWAllen teamed up with @ai2.bsky.social and other academic partners on a new project aimed at developing the first fully open set of #AI tools to accelerate scientific discovery, with $152M in combined support from NSF & NVIDIA. #NSFfunded #UWserves news.cs.washington.edu/2025/08/14/a... 1/2

More walking can be a path to better health. A countrywide study by @uofwa.bsky.social #UWAllen professor Tim Althoff in @nature.com found the strongest evidence to date that daily step count is influenced by the built environment. #DataScience #PopulationHealth www.washington.edu/news/2025/08...

Understanding how regions of the brain communicate is like trying to follow conversations at a crowded party. A team led by #UW #UWAllen prof @mattgolub.bsky.social recently made headway with a new machine learning method that cuts through the noise. #ICML2025 news.cs.washington.edu/2025/08/12/a...

#UWAllen’s @edlazowska.bsky.social ‬has been a fixture on the WA innovation scene longer than Microsoft. After nearly half a century as UW educator, researcher & local tech champion, he’s logging off from official duties—but not shutting it down just yet. #UWserves www.geekwire.com/2025/after-4...

Can #AI alter your politics? A study by @uofwa.bsky.social #UWAllen researchers at #ACL2025NLP found that people who interacted with a conservative or liberal version of #ChatGPT began mirroring the model’s bias—regardless of their own political leanings. www.washington.edu/news/2025/08... #NLP #HCI

“Technical computer science savvy and deep philosophical commitments”: #UWAllen alum @andreiskiii.bsky.social‬ earned the #UW A&S Dean’s Medal in the Social Sciences for his campus leadership and research contributions spanning #AI and philosophy. #UWdiscovers artsci.washington.edu/news/2025-06...

Large foundation models trained on massive datasets have revolutionized #AI. Supported by a #Google Ph.D. Fellowship, @uofwa.bsky.social #UWAllen’s Cheng-Yu Hsieh aims to make the process more efficient and affordable to democratize AI development. #UWdiscovers news.cs.washington.edu/2025/07/09/a...

Entry-level tech jobs aren’t disappearing due to #AI — they’re changing. As #UW #UWAllen’s Magda Balazinska explains to @geekwire.com, we’ll still need software engineers who can do the “creative and conceptually challenging work” that remains distinctly human: www.geekwire.com/2025/coding-...

#UWAllen & NVIDIA researchers earned a #MLSys2025 Best Paper Award for developing FlashInfer to boost #LLM performance—showing “what’s possible when academia, industry and the open-source community innovate together,” says @yzh119.bsky.social.‬ #AI #UWdiscovers news.cs.washington.edu/2025/07/01/a...
