Why visit a website when AI can do it for you?
@advaitsarkar.bsky.social explores how AI is changing the way we build and use the web.
From adaptive interfaces to blurred roles, what comes next might not involve a website at all.

. Key topics: theories and perspectives for understanding, protecting, and augmenting thinking with GenAI; challenges in designing GenAI systems; measuring GenAI's impact; its effect on human skills and workflows; and guidelines for designing protective and augmentative GenAI systems. Organizers include experts from Microsoft Research, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago, Tableau, University of Toronto, IBM Research, UCL, and Stanford. Logos of these institutions and the CHI 2025 logo appear at the bottom. The flyer features an illustration of a pensive person with a crowned bird on their head and the text "TOOLS FOR THOUGHT."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76dadnfugqbss4iwekw5blc/bafkreib3vcyby2ohginelta4sv7gse2r63znah2ot3sfmd5ec6qtlsu7n4@jpeg)

The Tools for Thought team, that I'm a part of (aka.ms/toolsforthou...) contributed to the USC Annenberg Relevence Report on AI. Released annually from the Center for Public Relations. A great report, with a lot of diverse writers, including Microsoft's very own Steve Clayton. Worth a look.
Microsoft researchers contributed to USC Annenberg’s 2025 Relevance Report: AI Activated. Their essay, "AI as a Tool for Thought," explores how genAI can enhance human cognition beyond content creation. Read this and other essays from leading experts: issuu.com/uscannenberg...
