Check out our work testing Planning Theory of Mind in LLMs and humans!

@jaredlcm.bsky.social is talking about this at #CogSci2025 this Friday at 4pm, and at @colmweb.org in Montreal in October. Don't miss him, his presentations are top shelf.
I'm excited to share work to appear at ‪@colmweb.org‬! Theory of Mind (ToM) lets us understand others' mental states. Can LLMs go beyond predicting mental states to changing them? We introduce MINDGAMES to test Planning ToM--the ability to intervene on others' beliefs & persuade them

Lucky to be back from a month-long break, with a paper out in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social! How do academics participate in the construction of ‘AI’ as a research field? We interviewed 90 university-based AI researchers in the UK, US, and Aus. Paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

In a paper we’re workshopping this week at #NeurIPS2024, Ned Cooper, @wesleydeng.bsky.social, and Ben Hutchinson and I ask: what is the model of societal impacts reflected in efforts to evaluate GenAI systems?
