I'm excited to announce our work on MentalHealthBench, a new open benchmark developed with mental health experts to evaluate how Al models respond in realistic mental health conversations. 🧵

I wrote about the state of AI, why I’m concerned about the next few years, and the choices we need to make to keep the future in humanity’s hands.

Our goal: build scientific foundations needed to make superintelligence safe by design
what might it take to put pluralistic alignment's ideals into practice? new position paper led by @elinorpd_ discussing this!
Mitchell Gordon retweeted
Pluralistic alignment is thriving as a research agenda yet failing at its goal: making the AI systems people actually use more pluralistic🌈
🚨New position paper: we argue adoption in deployed models should be the fields main goal & we provide a roadmap of how to get there

So excited to be back in Seoul for ICML! Would love to chat with people working on human-ai interaction and alignment, please reach out. And looking forward to giving a keynote at the pluralistic alignment workshop on the 11th.

After over 10 years at Stanford, it's time to leave :)
I will be joining UT Austin's CS department as an assistant professor in fall 2027! If you're excited to envision the future of interaction with AI, I'm recruiting PhD students this cycle. Come join me!

Sycophancy, disempowerment, homogenization of thought: lots to be grim about for what AI is doing to us, the collapse of our subjectivity into a machine "objectivity". But a lot of AI's value seems to come precisely from scaling this objectivity. How do we make sense of this?

“Should I fear death?” Ask an LLM and you get one answer or a big bag, but little visibility into the decisions and assumptions that produced them. We built the "conceptual multiverse": a system that makes those decisions transparent and intervenable. multiverse.csail.mit.edu

recently, i’ve been thinking about ways to design ai systems to be more compatible with slow thinking 🐌.

Last day to apply to the OpenAI safety fellowship! It’s a chance to work with some of my favorite people on some of the most important, interesting, and consequential questions in AI
Introducing the OpenAI Safety Fellowship, a new program supporting independent research on AI safety and alignment—and the next generation of talent.

MIT postdoc opportunity! We're hiring a human-AI interaction postdoc (HCI+ML/RL) to train agents that deepen how people think and collaborate - rewarded by how humans actually build skill together. With @arvindsatya1 @ZanaBucinca, me & more! Apply by May 1 tinyurl.com/4jsr8ee9
