https://psyarxiv.com/gh2ck/ Research using online research participants is here to stay. Understanding who these subjects are, and specifically what kind of biases and selection mechanisms they bring to our research studies will be important for the future of human-subjects research as … Continued
A significant body of recent research in the field of Learning Analytics has focused on leveraging machine learning approaches for predicting at-risk students in order to initiate timely interventions and thereby elevate retention and completion rates. The overarching feature of … Continued
As machine learning (ML) models are increasingly being deployed in high-stakes applications, policymakers have suggested tighter data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). One key principle is the “right to be forgotten” which gives users the right to have their data … Continued
Fostering public AI literacy (i.e. a high-level understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows individuals to critically and effectively use AI technologies) is increasingly important as AI is integrated into individuals’ everyday lives and as concerns about AI grow. This … Continued
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.11972.pdf There has been a recent resurgence of interest in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) that aims to reduce the opaqueness of AI-based decision-making systems, allowing humans to scrunitize and trust them. Prior work in this context has focused on the … Continued
https://psyarxiv.com/6wh9m/ How does the difficulty of a task affect people’s enjoyment and engagement? Intrinsic motivation and flow theories posit a ‘goldilocks’ optimum where task difficulty matches performer skill, yet current work is confounded by questionable measurement practices and lacks scalable … Continued
In this paper, we develop a network of Bayesian agents that collectively model a team’s mental states from the team’s observed communication. We make two contributions. First, we show that our agent could generate interventions that improve the collective intelligence … Continued
https://psyarxiv.com/4ynkp/ Surveys around the world show that the public perceives artificial intelligence (AI) as a double-edged sword: As a risk but also as an opportunity. However, if and how this ambiguous perception of AI relates to people’s willingness to use … Continued
https://psyarxiv.com/743hn/ Decision makers such as industrial and organizational psychologists often combine multiple pieces of information to make performance predictions and hiring decisions. More valid performance predictions are made when information is combined algorithmically (mechanical prediction) rather than in the decision-maker’s mind … Continued
https://openai.com/blog/our-approach-to-alignment-research/ Our approach to aligning AGI is empirical and iterative. We are improving our AI systems’ ability to learn from human feedback and to assist humans at evaluating AI. Our goal is to build a sufficiently aligned AI system that can … Continued
