Conversational AI systems are increasingly used for personal reflection and emotional disclosure, raising concerns about their effects on vulnerable users. Recent anecdotal reports suggest that prolonged interactions with AI may reinforce delusional thinking---a phenomenon sometimes described as AI Psychosis. However,...
An enhanced end-to-end circuit problem-solving framework using Gemini 2.5 Pro as the backbone model for scalable engineering-education applications that substantially improves the robustness, scalability, and generalizability of LLM-based circuit problem solving for engineering education and practical circuit analysis.
ParsVoice is introduced, the largest publicly available Persian speech-text corpus tailored for training multi-speaker TTS systems, along with a scalable pipeline to construct high-quality speech-text data from long-form audiobook recordings, supporting reproducible research on Persian speech synthesis and low-resource...
It is found that each family of methods leads to different conclusions: participants reported no differences in trust or satisfaction, Grad-CAM improved user performance, while mathematical metrics favored Guided Backpropagation, and implications for XAI evaluation frameworks are discussed.

Vocalizer, a mobile application that enables users to provide reviews through voice input, with enhancements from a large language model (LLM), is developed, and user interactions with the app are analysed, focusing on AI-driven features that help refine and improve reviews.
This article introduces personality engineering--a methodology that precisely parameterizes the personas of AI agents based on established personality frameworks--and proposes how this method can be used to study the traits and behaviors of human negotiators.
Generative AI (GenAI) tools are increasingly woven into how blind and low-vision (BLV) people communicate, not only with digital information, but with the physical world and with other people. Tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Be My AI, and Seeing AI translate visual and textual content into accessible form, and ar...
A structured, seeded review of 24 focal empirical publications, finding no validated individual-level instrument in the focal corpus that tests the full combination of agent scope, permissions, recovery, state isolation, independent review, and evidence-based closure.
Spook the Machine is presented, a gamified platform where participants generate images to frighten AI agents endowed with personality-driven phobias, and emotional expression shapes how deeply users engage, while reward structure shapes how they explore.
A co-design study where 14 participants redesigned Google and Apple Health interfaces using Figma Make, finding conversational AI designs converged around chat-window conventions and implications for preserving agency and flexible user-directed interfaces.
PeerPen, a writing assistance tool embedded within a Reddit-like interface, supporting two main features: draft generation and revision of user-written responses, is built and it is found that PeerPen reduced the burden of composing responses and increased confidence in offering support.
These findings show that companion-AI safety must address relationships over time through user-controlled memory, privacy, relational boundaries, and healthy disengagement.
AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…

Professor Paris Smaragdis develops computers with superhuman hearing for applications like speech recognition, music understanding, and environmental monitoring.
During the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences’ 75th Anniversary Symposium, President Sally Kornbluth said “MIT has never needed your particular insight and guidance more than we do now.”
Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
“X-Hinges” helps design and 3D print items like lamps and gloves with an interactive twist: automatically embedded sensors that perceive and adaptively respond to human contact.
