Meetings often drift off-track. Can AI help us reflect in the moment and realign?
Our #CHI2025 paper explores how AI-assisted interventions influence goal reflection during workplace meetings.

📢CHI'25 workshop: Tools for Thought: Research and Design for Understanding, Protecting, and Augmenting Human Cognition with Generative AI
🌐aka.ms/toolsforthought-chi20…
🗓️Submission deadline: Feb 13, 2025 AoE
ALT Promotional flyer for the CHI'25 Workshop, "Tools for Thought: Research and Design for Understanding, Protecting, and Augmenting Human Cognition with Generative AI," happening April 26, 2025, in Yokohama, Japan. Submission deadline: February 13, 2025, AoE. Workshop website: https://aka.ms/toolsforthought-chi2025workshop. Key topics: theories and perspectives for understanding, protecting, and augmenting thinking with GenAI; challenges in designing GenAI systems; measuring GenAI's impact; its effect on human skills and workflows; and guidelines for designing protective and augmentative GenAI systems. Organizers include experts from Microsoft Research, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago, Tableau, University of Toronto, IBM Research, UCL, and Stanford. Logos of these institutions and the CHI 2025 logo appear at the bottom. The flyer features an illustration of a pensive person with a crowned bird on their head and the text "TOOLS FOR THOUGHT."

My final morning in Melbourne. Our paper at @ACMMobileHCI received an honourable mention! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. If you’re interested in how people can re-imagine and change both technologies and themselves, give it a read dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36764…

Delighted that these brilliant people were elected to parliament last week 🌹🌹🌹
I was fortunate enough to spend some time with them, and to take their photos. Looking forward to seeing what they do next!

Finally shrinking the pile to the point where I can thoroughly read this interesting essay on "illusions of understanding in sci research" due to AI.
Folks like @emollick probably should read it (perhaps he already has). /1

Have you ever wondered “Why are we here!!?” during a meeting? I’ll be talking about purposeless meetings, attention hogging, fears of accountability, and much more today at 11.15am, room 324! Hoping for collective carthasis at #CHI2024 🤞 programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024…

✨That’s a wrap for our first workshop on Theory of Mind in Human AI Interaction at #chi2024
💕Despite all the technical difficulties everyone was so patient, supportive, and engaged throughout the paper talks, group activities, and invited panel.

Just in time for #CHI2024, #Microsoft has just announced new research funding for exploring how AI will shape the future of work!
Could your CHI paper be the seed for an unrestricted grant of up to USD$50k? Proposals are due June 3rd.

Our new preprint (collaboration with Claire Gillan @celinefox_ and @samgilbert1) explores the complex relationship between metacognition, compulsivity and the utilization of external reminders. (1/7)

Can't find the words to express your mixed intents and inner conflict?
In our @sigbovik paper, @shiftsayan and I, try to make it easier for you to express (and really, experience) your indeterminacy.

Can🧠metacognition help us understand and improve #GenerativeAI system usability? We think so in our upcoming #CHI2024 paper: arxiv.org/abs/2312.10893

Have you ever joined a meeting and thought, "Why are we even here??" This paper describes people's contrasting mental models of `meeting goals', and argues that meeting interfaces miss many opportunities to catalyse intentionality arxiv.org/abs/2402.18526 2/3

This theory paper argues that the usability challenges of generative AI arise from extra demands on users' metacognition i.e. their ability to think about their thinking. Following this, we describe some ways systems can support users' metacognition! arxiv.org/abs/2312.10893 3/3
