Over three days, we explored what it means to design and govern pluralistic and humanistic AI technologies — ones that serve diverse communities, respect cultural contexts, and center social well-being. The summit was part of the Global AI Initiative at Cornell.

Yesterday we wrapped up the Thought Summit on LLMs and Society at Cornell — an energizing and deeply reflective gathering of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from across institutions and geographies.

Just wrapped up an incredible week at #CHI2025 in Yokohama with Joy Ming, @sharonheung.bsky.social, Dhruv Agarwal, and Ian René Solano-Kamaiko! We presented several papers that push the boundaries of what Globally Equitable AI could look like in high-stakes contexts.

We studied how AI systems detect and explain ableist content—and how that compares to judgments from 130 disabled participants.
We also analyzed explanations from 7 major LLMs and toxicity classifiers. The gaps are stark.

Excited to be at @umich.edu this week to speak at Democracy’s Information Dilemma event, and at the Social Media and Society conference! Hard to believe it’s been since 2016 that I was last here. Can’t wait for engaging conversations, new ideas, and reconnecting with colleagues old and new!
