This Friday, I will be speaking at #TNW in Amsterdam about why “AI for Good” isn’t good enough – and what we should be doing instead. Human-centered AI doesn’t mean just user-centered design, but also requires a community- and society-centered approach. @stanfordhai.bsky.social lnkd.in/gxwUxgrA

At today's seminar, Dave Patterson and Andy Konwinski discussed themes from their paper "Shaping AI's Impact on Billions of Lives," arguing that we are still in the early days of practical AI, and that collaborative efforts can guide AI's impact. @jlanday.bsky.social hai.stanford.edu/events/andy-...

Just saw this great journalistic theatre at The Marsh in The Mission (SF). Really recommend you see it.

"Unlike purely digital AI, robots interact physically with people. Thus, user experience is non-negotiable." HAI Co-Director @jlanday.bsky.social calls for a human-centered approach to designing AI-powered robotics at this week's HAI Spring Conference: hai.stanford.edu/news/stanfor...

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Test New App to Motivate Physical Activity! @Stanford we are testing a unique app to help motivate you to be physically active. 18 or older, fluent in English & own an iPhone? Take our eligibility survey: bit.ly/physical-act.... Participants must share iPhone health data as part of this 4-week study

Here are some of the reflections of the @stanfordhai.bsky.social team (including me) on things we heard during our participation in Davos last week. hai.stanford.edu/news/hai-dav...

Fun conversation with @inafried.bsky.social

Fun event and a great museum!

Never forget.

Fun podcast conversation (~20 min) explaining my view on human-centered AI. @stanfordhai.bsky.social "The case for human-centered AI" www.mckinsey.com/capabilities...

If need something to put you to sleep on flights this week, check out this interview I did with @rbaltman.bsky.social on his The Future of Everything podcast. It's a good summary of some of the latest research in my group & at @stanfordhai.bsky.social. engineering.stanford.edu/news/future-...

💯 Hallucination is totally the wrong word, implying it is perceiving the world incorrectly. But it's generating false, plausible sounding statements. Confabulation is literally the perfect word. So, let's all please start referring to any junk that an LLM makes up as "confabulations".

Thanks! This was a fun interview with Russ Altman.

Peter Thiel has been going “democracy is bad because women vote against libertarianism” for like a quarter century and people are still doing this “Silicon Valley was forced right” thing

Please come work with me at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab! We're seeking a postdoctoral associate to explore exciting work focused on transformative AI. Accepting applications now. The link is in the next post.

We need to bring more GPU compute to academia to have a vibrant academic AI ecosystem.

🧪 A global survey of academics reveals limited access to high-end AI tools like Nvidia H100 GPUs (10% access). With 66% dissatisfied, the gap with industry slows AI research and sparks innovation in resource efficiency. 🩺🖥️ #MLSky

I'd like to thank that one student in the corner who nodded along with me all semester. You make it all possible.

Welcome @stanfordhai.bsky.social to bluesky!

Stanford RegLab is hiring predoctoral Research Fellows! The RegLab has been a wonderful place for work spanning from AI ML/NLP/policy to real world impact, successfully working with government organizations. It’s a place to apply technical skills to new areas. www.linkedin.com/posts/reglab...

props to @ronanfarrow.bsky.social & the new yorker for crediting @wired.com in the first paragraph for breaking a story he had clearly also been working on. would love to see this become the norm although i doubt it will.

One for HCI
