Algorithms are used to aid human decision makers by making predictions and recommending decisions. Currently, these algorithms are trained to optimize prediction accuracy. What if they were optimized to control final decisions? In this paper, we study a decision-aid algorithm … Continued
Placing a human in the loop may abate the risks of deploying AI systems in safety-critical settings (e.g., a clinician working with a medical AI system). However, mitigating risks arising from human error and uncertainty within such human-AI interactions is … Continued
Educational technology innovations that have been developed based on large language models (LLMs) have shown the potential to automate the laborious process of generating and analysing textual content. While various innovations have been developed to automate a range of educational … Continued
Numerous parties are calling for the democratisation of AI, but the phrase is used to refer to a variety of goals, the pursuit of which sometimes conflict. This paper identifies four kinds of AI democratisation that are commonly discussed: (1) … Continued
In order to train children’s ability to ask curiosity-driven questions, previous research has explored designing specific exercises relying on providing semantic and linguistic cues to help formulate such questions. But despite showing pedagogical efficiency, this method is still limited as … Continued
Recent work has proposed artificial intelligence (AI) models that can learn to decide whether to make a prediction for an instance of a task or to delegate it to a human by considering both parties’ capabilities. In simulations with synthetically … Continued
https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.05500Abstract: Despite widespread calls for transparent artificial intelligence systems, the term is too overburdened with disparate meanings to express precise policy aims or to orient concrete lines of research. Consequently, stakeholders often talk past each other, with policymakers expressing vague … Continued
Belief Bubbles: How Latitudes of Acceptance Shape Social Decisions psyarxiv.com Abstract An individual’s “latitude of acceptance”—defined as the range of opinions that an individual considers to be acceptable for a specific issue—was first used by proponents of social judgment theory … Continued
While AI has benefited humans, it may also harm humans if not appropriately developed. The focus of HCI work is transiting from conventional human interaction with non-AI computing systems to interaction with AI systems. We conducted a high-level literature review … Continued
psyarxiv.com Abstract Social psychology research projects begin with generating a testable idea that relies heavily on a researcher’s ability to assimilate, recall, and accurately process available research findings. However, an exponential increase in new research findings is making the task … Continued
