I’m told I have to hide links in the thread to keep from getting penalized by the algorithm. So here is the link that Twitter doesn’t want you to see nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Also, why do I have to do this? It’s so stupid.
Today at the IJCAI Workshop on Explainable AI
I'm in Montréal to present new work on XAI for RL agents using World Models at the IJCAI Workshop on XAI, Aug 17

Also, we show that by telling users what they need to do to get desired behavior, we are helping users *control* the behavior of the agent through manipulation of the agent's environment.
You can "program" an agent by manipulating its environment in just the right way.
Explaining RL agent behaviors is wickedly hard. Even harder to provide non-technical end-users *actionable* insights.
We show that our explanations are actionable, in that people can recognize what they need to do to get the desired behavior from an agent.
When an agent doesn't perform as expected, we run the world model backwards to generate counterfactual states from which the agent would have met expectations.

Two chances to learn about LLMs and finance!
(Work done with the GT Fintech lab; I am not an author)
At #ACL2025? Wondering if LLMs can do finance tasks?
My PhD student @GlennMatlin will be presenting the Finance Language Model Evaluation (FLaME) benchmark task.
Please consider applying if you are a Doctoral student working in the broad areas of responsible computing, responsible AI, human-centered AI, human-AI interaction, pluralistic value alignment, policy, or any related area.
Applications are open for the Doctoral Consortium at the 2025 Summit on Responsible Computing, AI, and Society rcais.github.io. Taking place October 27, 2025. Applications received by September 15 will receive full consideration.
You should submit a contribution and/or attend the Summit on Responsible Computing, AI, and Society. The call is for contribution is here: rcais.github.io
We seek to surface key visions for AI, human-AI interaction, human-centered/pluralistic value alignment & similar
Dr. Chowdhury is a pioneer in the responsible, ethical, explainable and transparent AI. She is the first person to be appointed by the Department of State as the US Science Envoy for AI. She co-developed the first-in-industry algorithmic tool to mitigate bias in AI systems.
Hi all. I am delighted to announce our first Keynote speaker for the 2025 Summit on Responsible, Computing, AI, and Society: Dr. Rumman Chowdhury rcais.github.io
