Can people oversee AI when they can’t verify it? 🧠🤖 New TOCHI paper: Resarchers find that telling people where an AI tends to go wrong helps them catch mistakes for tasks of moderate difficulty. Too easy, people spot errors anyway. Too hard, they defer. doi.org/10.1145/3817...

AI Error Difficulty Modulates the Effectiveness of Explainability in Decision Support Systems | ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction
In AI decision support, explainability (e.g., disclosing system weaknesses) should help users spot erroneous recommendations, but its efficacy may depend on task difficulty. We ran three experiments in a simulated medical visual detection task. In ...

3/3 After the project’s U.S. federal grant was cut, r/AskHistorians responded with a joint statement co-signed by 50 subreddits reaching 123M subscribers. A powerful reminder that community-engaged research builds more than tools. It builds trust, solidarity, and public understanding.

2/3 The study finds LLMs can help with synthesis, triage, and drafting, supporting moderators in practical tasks. But trust, judgment, and community care remain deeply human work. Moderation is social infrastructure, not just classification, and current models still struggle with that.

1/3 How should LLMs support the people who keep online communities healthy? A new paper by Domingo et al., Care, Wisdom, and Civics, explores how LLMs can assist volunteer moderators on Reddit and where today’s models still fall short. Moderation is not just filtering content. It is civic labor.

Is a simple "I'm sorry" enough when an AI fails? 🤖💬 A new TOCHI paper, Zahra Ashktorab et al. find that trust repair is not one-size-fits-all. Users prefer explanatory apologies for general technical errors, while empathic apologies are more effective for addressing AI bias.

Whiffing et al. study freehand cursorless pointing across different levels of attention, effort, and target placement using a hybrid motion capture setup with 23 participants. They uncover 3 distinct pointing behaviours, each with different performance characteristics

🖐️ How do people actually point when there is no cursor? As spatial interaction becomes more common in AR, VR, and smart environments, freehand pointing is often treated as a single, idealized gesture. In reality, people point in many different ways depending on context.
