@zbucinca.bsky.social's new paper shows that people who receive AI decision recommendations with contrastive explanations (pick A instead of B because...) grow their skills. This important because people do not learn when AI provides conventional explanations. iis.seas.harvard.edu/papers/bucin...

Drawing of a person looking at a screen, which contains an example of an AI generated decision recommendation and a contrastive explanation: "The AI suggests Antibiotic A instead of Antibiotic B because: Although both antibiotics can treat bacterial infections, recent lab tests showed that the bacteria found in this patient are resistant to Antibiotic B."

New paper led by Zilin Ma and Weiwei Pan investigates how AI can augment the work of front line humanitarian negotiators & introduces a system that embodies these ideas. Instead of suggesting what to do next, the system helps them identify facts, values, issues & respective bottom lines and & lines.

New paper! I argue we can't address public distrust in science through "virtual diversity" because scientists have trouble understanding the scope and urgency of public frustrations, and devalue non-scientists' contributions. If you can't access I will send! #STS journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Screenshot of paper abstract in the journal Social Studies of Science, entitled From the bench to public policy: Enhancing public trust in science.

There is growing concern around the world about declining trust in the scientific enterprise. Some STS scholars argue that the solution is to move to a system of ‘virtual diversity’ where scientists are responsible for translating public concerns into their work. This commentary argues that this containment approach will have the opposite effect. The history of similar efforts suggests that scientists have trouble understanding the scope and urgency of public frustrations, and devalue the contributions of non-scientists, damaging the social fabric. A better approach for producing socially useful science and enhancing public trust is to create a truly inclusive scientific enterprise, which takes the knowledge and priorities of non-scientists seriously and engages them throughout the investigative process.

#COVID numbers are high again in #Boston area (www.mwra.com/biobot/biobo...). We had a peaceful (COVID-wise) fall but now the risks are high again. If you have the energy to take precautions for only a couple of weeks a year, now is the time.

Inspired by @wimlds.bsky.social , I looked for a "Women in Machine Learning" starter pack and couldn't find one. So I created one! May have some mistakes. I'll try to do an AI ethics one next. 🤗 go.bsky.app/LT6CwNN

Do you feel that your profession or organization urgently needs to adopt #AI? Here's some advice that we often share (as academics working in human-AI interaction and #ML) with professional colleagues who consider the role of modern technology in their professions. (w/ Weiwei Pan and Hongjin Lin)

JMP (statistical analysis software that I find very useful for exploratory analyses and visualizations) now has free licensing for faculty and students but only for a "student edition" of the software. Does anyone know what's missing from student edition compared to Pro? #HCI #statistics

Faculty and students have the opportunity to teach, learn, and perform research projects using the full capabilities of JMP.
