Had the great pleasure this week visiting @mbzuai for the trustworthy foundation models symposium where I spoke alongside the brilliant and humble Tomas Mikolov 😍 Tomas is a true pioneer who invented word2vec, RNNLLM toolkit and other works without which Transformers might not have emerged this fast

I had the great pleasure to contribute to the Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research report with the presence of *Josephine Teo*, the Minister for Digital Development and Information of Singapore 🤩🤩 🔗 Read the paper: aisafetypriorities.org

SUPER thrilled that our #NAACL2025 paper got the runnerup BEST paper award 😍😍🏆🏆🏆🚀🚀 We show that people rely 30% more on LLMs when they use emphatic expressions (eg "Sure, happy to help") even though the answer is wrong and 10% more when the task involves math questions 😵 📜 arxiv.org/pdf/2407.07950

So excited about #ICLR2025 and Singapore!! will be there next week and will be presenting 3 papers: 1 Oral 😍 and 2 posters ⭐️ So excited also about our **LLM Reasoning** workshop, so many cool papers and a stellar lineup of speakers😍 workshop-llm-reasoning-planning.github.io Details: 👇

Super excited to be speaking at the #icml2025 on Computer Use Agents this summer in Vancouver 🇨🇦 alongside a stellar lineup of speakers! ⏰Submit your work by *May 18, 2025* 📄https://icml-computeruseagents.com

I'm also desperately looking for emergency reviewers for safety, bias, and alignment papers. Please let me know if you could write a review! 😭

I still can't comprehend how an AC (a professor) accepts the role but then never responds back to emails and never completes their tasks😖! We need urgent 5 emergency reviewers to complete reviews for ACL by the end of today. Area: Ethics, Bias, and Fairness. Please reach out if you can help! Thanks🙏

I had so much fun in this podcast 💗 I talked about: 🧪 My research journey 💡 The limits and constraints of large language models 🤯 The AI complexity/generative paradox 🧠 Challenges in model reasoning Listen here Youtube: lnkd.in/gseDzxyt Spotify: lnkd.in/gn6QMdcZ #WomenInAI #AIResearch

Excited to have two papers at #NAACL2025! The first reveals how human over-reliance can be exacerbated by LLM friendliness. The second presents a novel computational method for concept tracing. Check them out! arxiv.org/pdf/2407.07950 arxiv.org/pdf/2502.05704

🚀New work🔥 CREATIVITY Index 🔥 This work is SO close to my heart, I loved every part of the experiments. It provided me with so much scientific fulfillment. Intellectual works have become so rare in the hysterical race of AI, so if you care about science give this work a read! Read below hot takes:

Ok ✨an inaugural post✨ l had the pleasure yesterday to lead the agentic AI safety sessions in Columbia/Mozilla safety convening and meet with the 🇫🇷French Minister of AI, Madame Clara Chappaz with whom I discussed the urgency of regulatory frameworks to enable safe deployment of agents👇
