“Should I fear death?” Ask an LLM and you get one answer or a big bag, but little visibility into the decisions and assumptions that produced them. We built the "conceptual multiverse": a system that surfaces those decisions and lets users change them. multiverse.csail.mit.edu

This upcoming #FAccT2025 paper was w/ an amazing duo of undergrads @andreiskiii.bsky.social @andrewshawuw.bsky.social & deeply fuses philosophy with human-AI interaction design. "Unsettling the hegemony of intention" indeed! 😛 It also won the undergrad thesis award at UW 🏅 arxiv.org/abs/2502.15242

Inspired by his father’s study of neural networks, #UWAllen CS and Philosophy major @andreiskiii.bsky.social taught himself the subject on his way to enrolling in UW at age 15. He just won a @pdsoros.bsky.social Fellowship to pursue a Ph.D. at MIT in #AI. pdsoros.org/fellows/andr... #HuskyExperience
