I'm currently splitting my search between continuing my research in human-centric AI or building on my deep knowledge on AI risks and AI governance.

  We have two papers accepted to CUI this year. The first paper considers how to better support traditional conversational AI intent trainers: "Towards Interactive Guidance for Writing Training Utterances for Conversational Agents." The second evaluates the linguistic variety of utterances as a consequence of that support: "Say What? Real-time Linguistic Guidance Supports Novices in Writing Utterances for Conversational Agent Training." I'll be attending the conference in person in Luxembourg July 8th to 10th.
