Children can solve a difficult sorting task by spontaneously discovering efficient sorting algorithms. Older children outperform younger children, showing developmental growth in strategy use and problem-solving. @hw-yang.bsky.social‬‬ @celestekidd.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For everyone who was sad to miss it, the recording of the Data & Society event about THE AI CON (me and @alexhanna.bsky.social) and EMPIRE OF AI (@karenhao.bsky.social) moderated by @tamigraph.bsky.social is now online! datasociety.net/events/chall...

More stories about AI delusions: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult... by @milesklee.bsky.social (about Alexander Taylor's suicide) youtu.be/zKCynxiV_8I?... by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social <-- I disagree with framing here. I think these are personalized cults of 2 (AI and user) not a shared religion

New paper! When do children trust others and when do they come up with their own ideas? Kids 8+ considered and weighed each person's confidence to decide whether to form new beliefs. With @janengelmann.bsky.social and @celestekidd.bsky.social Free here: dx.doi.org/10.1111/desc...

New paper out now asks: Why do we bother remembering *how* we learned something? With @antoniafl.bsky.social, Dilara Keşşafoğlu, Winuss Mohtezebsade, @celestekidd.bsky.social, Aylin Küntay, @janengelmann.bsky.social, and Bahar Köymen dx.doi.org/10.1037/dev0...

I wrote an article about the psychology by which disinformation campaigns work, with examples from anti-trans propaganda. It's not just about individual beliefs, but also the way our institutions and norms are manipulated. Please read and share! pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/Ant...?

If you are organising conference/workshop around “harnessing AI to leapfrog/transform Africa into [whatever]’ or about the “opportunities/potentials of AI [insert something that sounds too good to be true]”, then i’m not the right speaker for your event

The science behind why we so often talk past each other without realising is.gd/5EOJiV Great chat with Celeste Kidd 'who studies how we acquire and conceptualise information, form beliefs around those concepts, and make sense of the torrent of information blasting our brains each and every second.'

Ahead our next broadcast on Alan #Turing and the Limits of Computation, we sent our Roving Philosophical Reporter, Sarah Lai Stirland, to explore Turing's legacy with @celestekidd.bsky.social from UC Berkeley and Savannah Thais from Columbia: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlL1... #PhilSky #philosophy #AI

Celeste Kidd @celestekidd.bsky.social on stage ! #AI #WorldSummit #WSAIQA

80% generated images were dark-skinned, even though people of color make-up less than half the U.S. prison population. @saraheporter.bsky.social @celestekidd.bsky.social #WSAIQatar #AI #LLM #QCRI #Qatar #Arabic

Here are my slides from at the World Summit AI in Qatar today: drive.google.com/file/d/1_bgG...

📣: Just updated our "modeling Khan Academy learning" preprint (lead: @paxt0n4.bsky.social)! We're excited about this revision and grateful to our reviewers-- lots of neat new analyses using text embeddings to show how knowledge changes over time + conceptual content. Link: osf.io/preprints/ps...

We are happy to share our new commentary on why using language inclusively for transgender people is perfectly appropriate biologically, socially, and scientifically. A 🧵 on the commentary by @andyperfors.bsky.social, @spiantado.bsky.social, & me

Bold piece from @celestekidd.bsky.social @spiantado.bsky.social @andyperfors.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

this piece is fantastic. @rajiinio.bsky.social delivers the smartest commentary on what we should be focused on when we discuss AI and the future for @theatlantic.bsky.social

New paper from Pratyusha Ria Kalluri, William Agnew, Myra Cheng, Kentrell Owens, Luca Soldaini, & I! The Surveillance AI Pipeline: arxiv.org/abs/2309.15084 We unearth how computer vision research powers Surveillance AI through analysis of 3 decades of CV papers from CVPR & downstream patents 1

How do we integrate prior beliefs with new experiences to guide metacognitive self-knowledge? psyarxiv.com/knsb4/ A brief 🧵 on our recent preprint👇, in which we found that this capacity for integrating different sources of uncertainty is highly domain specific. #psychscisky 🧠🤖 🧠🟦

On Bluesky, hashtags work only when connected to a feed. So I made feeds for #CogSci and #DevSci! You can join them with the links below. Please repost, so we can rebuild a nice community over here! #CogSci: bsky.app/profile/did:... #DevSci: bsky.app/profile/did:... And don't forget to pin them :)

Our lab at Carnegie Mellon is recruiting graduate students this year to study the development of the brain and cognition — come watch a brain develop, see how animals learn concepts, or take a canoe ride to see how folks learn across cultures. #PsychSciSky

Francesco's work is some of the most creative and fundamental to dev sci happening right now. If you like baby science and/or very clever experimental paradigms, check him out
